Are such poor huckster souls
Antje van der Maas.
And they are already sharpening their knives again
Slashing and stabbing the upright
Don't understand anything and don't know any better
Are such small, pathetic little actors
Instead of supporting colleagues
If you don't have the courage yourself
Hurry up to declare publicly
That they themselves and have always thought differently
That they do not belong to a fringe at all
That they are well-behaved, obedient citizens
Do not tire of swearing their allegiance
Like a well-behaved and well-trained child
Sweating out of fear for the detective role
They have long since been deprived of their own role
The tribute and obedience they pay for so long
Until the house of cards finally collapses
You can already see them shining on the breasts
Claim they were among the first
But the echo lasts forever and will ask them for a long time
The betrayed will not forget it either

Dear Mr. Langemann,
Thank you very much for this protected space of exchange among people who want to treat their fellow human beings with respect and dignity, even and especially when they have a different opinion. And who long for such a space in which they no longer have to feel alone in their need and striving for human dignity, freedom and autonomy. Thank you once again for opening up this space
Good morning everyone, I've been writing here for almost a year now. Why ? Always in the hope of finding like-minded voices, which also exist here. Nice, but that's about it. I've been to demos, written and published articles, expressed my opinion, haven't been vaccinated to date, I've been healthy for 30 years, go to the sauna, jog and keep myself healthy and live healthily (no colds etc.). What good has it done me? My husband and I have registered for a vaccination, although we consider it to be assault and coercion. I have 4 grandchildren, 2 of whom I have not been allowed to see for six months.
Das Wort Solidarität ist für mich nur noch negativ besetzt ! Warum soll ich, als gesunder Mensch, der sich nicht impfen lassen will seine Enkelkinder nicht sehen dürfen, nicht nach 22:00 das Haus gemeinsam mit meinem Mann verlassen dürfen, während dessen die „Oma mit zahlreichen Vorerkrankungen , die aus unserer UNKULTUR erwachsen sind, die aber geimpft ist, demnächst wieder mit der AIDA reisen darf ?
Ich bin im Sozialismus groß geworden, habe studiert , gearbeitet , Steuerzahler groß gezogen , aber langsam fehlt mir die Kraft zum kämpfen. Ich sehe weder einen Erfolg, noch Licht am Ende des Tunnels. Leider! Ich habe schon Kollegen erlebt, die sich das Leben genommen haben. Kommentar : “ Der hatte sowieso schon Depressionen… “ Die einzige Hoffnung, die noch bleibt, dass die Zeit kommt, wo manche Regierungsmitglieder unseres Merkelpolitbüro’s ihre gerechte Strafe bekommen. Aber vermutlich ist das eine ewige Hoffnung !!! Tschüß.
I would ask myself what it means for a family if you have to be vaccinated to live in that family. We are doing our young grandchildren a disservice if we give in. You, we are not as important as the future of our children and grandchildren. I don't think I'm a fanatic. I'm a loving father.
Dear Conny, dear fellow citizens,
It's so good to read all your contributions. Thank you so much!
Ich bin einfach fassungslos angesichts dessen, was seit über einem Jahr in unserem Land passiert. Ich hätte das nie für möglich gehalten. Und warum ist das immer noch für so viele „normal“
Und was wir damit unseren Kindern mit auf den Weg geben, wenn wir das einfach so hinnehmen und ihnen Angst und Anpassung, Unfreiheit vorleben. Diese Zeit der Pandemie ist eine absolute Prüfung für die Menschen und jeder ist gefordert, in sich hineinzuhören und mutig zu sein und seinen Werten entsprechend zu leben und von der Politik einzufordern, was uns rechtmäßig zusteht. Wir können es uns nicht länger bequem machen in unserem bisher so privilegierten Leben und darauf warten, dass „andere“ schon etwas unternehmen. Die Zeiten des Abwartens-und-Tee-Trinkens sind definitiv vorbei. Doch was tun? Ich muss das alles erstmal weiter verdauen, stehe noch immer unter einem gewissen Schock. Doch ich werde etwas unternehmen. Aktiv werden! Sich nicht wegducken, impfen lassen und hoffen, dass alles von alleine wieder gut wird.
Yes, I agree. But why did it take so long, why so few? There are always the screamers who beat up the brave in hasty obedience. That's what they used to call a pack, you shouldn't take them so seriously. But we should ask ourselves, what have we done wrong? Yes, what have we done wrong? We have all naively allowed cancel culture to become possible by not recognizing the importance of a free intellectual life for a free society. In the past, citizens founded art associations, and it is certainly conceivable that one of their motives was to avoid censorship as much as possible. We have to take culture into our own hands; the ever-expanding, amoeba-like state apparatus with its loyal vassals no longer allows for free art. The lack of truth behind current politics requires more and more propaganda. This policy does not want dissenting statements in art
The wonderful action of the artists, who hold up a mirror to society in an intelligent and humorous way...
The artists have been hit with a nasty, narcissistic shitstorm...and some have probably withdrawn as a result...not everyone can withstand threats, defamation, slander, etc. And a certain group wanted to misunderstand her...and sow guilt...artists I know are mostly sensitive and vibrational...and not focused on confrontation but on dialog...they can't have a shitstorm like that....
We have given the self-proclaimed
Elite in all areas
given too long a leash.
It has secured all key positions
at all levels.
And I am fully complicit in that.
I've seen it all before, in a country that has been history for 32 years. I hope I'll live to see how the system mongers crawl out of their holes and claim that they've always been against it. But something crucial is significantly different today, namely THE NETWORK NEVER FORGETS.
These conformist sycophants are disgusting.
Für diesen raum der „gedankenfreiheit“….. DANKE!
This godlessness is and remains everywhere.........
So ist es. Aber wir sind ja heute „aufgeklärte“ Digitalisten…
It's sad but true. It's always the same game, when it comes to showing face, most people turn their heads to the side and look in the other direction so that they can say afterwards that they didn't see anything!
The director has already made a statement with backbone on TV about the video by Jan Josef and his colleagues. Weak freestyle with the pullbacks.
Die Schauspieler: Es war eindeutig, was die ‚Überzeichnung mit unterschiedlicher Ironie zum Ausdruck bringen sollte. Und ich denke, würde man den Intensivpfleger Ricardo Lange mit Jan Josef Liefers zusammenbringen können, dann würde durch unmittelbaren Austausch vielleicht eine fruchtbare Auseinandersetzung stattfinden. Und beide würden wissen, dass sie kein Gegensatzpaar sind, sondern in die gleiche Richtung gucken. Und all die Abgesprungenen, Zaghaften, Ängstlichen, die ihren Beitrag zurückgezogen haben, würden sich grämen, nicht dabeigeblieben zu sein!
The lyrical poem is infinitely sad, because it illustrates where we stand: Insecurity, fear......Which unfortunately leads to cowardice.
Ich erinnere an die Ballade „Der Erlkönig“ von J.W.v.G.: ….und bist du nicht willig, so brauch` ich Gewalt…
Absolutely! You could also quote Faust.
Thank you very much, Ms. van der Maas, for this very to the point reflection.
The categorical subjunctive
Without masks
Spreading the virus too quickly
So bear this small burden
Obedience for all time
Without lockdowns
We millions more dead
That's why we put you in chains
That is fair and based on solidarity
Without measures
According to studies and models
In spheres of system collapse
And eternal perms
Without vaccination there would be
It will never be normal again
Those who don't want to are put behind bars
Sold as a freedom diet
P.S.: Thank you very much, Ms. Maas. I look forward to more lyrical reflections.
Beautiful, biting poetry, sparingly and aptly formulated, I think.
Good backing for the brave few among the original 50+ actors involved, who have not apologized for their satirical video clips. Where have we got to in Germany when artists can no longer use their talents to point out problems in society for fear of being applauded from the wrong corner?
Where did we end up?
Nun, was die Künstler und Co angeht, so sind wir nicht irgendwo hingekommen. Wir sehen das Ergebnis einer langjährigen Entwicklung. Erinnern wir uns nur an die „Erklärung der Vielen“ von 2018… Das Verhalten der Künstler insgesamt in 2020/2021 ist nur die logische Folge…
Und „die Gesellschaft“ kann sich von der Verantwortung für dieses Ergebnis nicht freispechen, denn sie hat diesen Künstlern mit Zuwendungen aller Art bei deren „Entwicklung“ den Weg geebnet.
Wonderful idea to bring these two gentlemen together, but I'm afraid JJL won't go for it.
At least not publicly.
What a pity, really.
I think so, because he is one of the absolutely upright people who sometimes blows his top hat off in public. He won with me, and these actors, many of whom are disgusting, slimy hucksters who wrongly believe that they have been silenced, have achieved exactly what they were supposed to achieve. It's being talked about everywhere. And the big, thank-you response from the doctors to the actors has also achieved something.
And please don't forget, even a nurse or intensive care nurse Lange had clear guidelines to follow. He had politely worked through the images he was supposed to serve. Nevertheless, in between, there were actually little slaps in the face from Spahn, who only made mistakes in this whole corona story.
After all, there is a chance to make yourself look stupid,
But this requires understanding and feeling.
So they prefer to remain in their mental cage
And stay forever
Mediocre!
Hit the nail on the head.
This tells you what is meant by this.
Poetry at a high level
A single tragedy!!....
When the truth will have come to light, then the followers and the submissive subjects will not have known otherwise!!! That was also the case during the Nazi era!
I am ashamed of them!
