Die nachstehende Parabel von Kahlil Gibran (“Der Narr”) fasst zusammen, was Rechtsprechung nicht sein sollte, aber heute oft ist: eine rücksichtslose Machtdemonstration gegen einzelne Menschen mit dem Ziel, “übergeordnete” ideologierelevante Rechtsgüter zu schützen.
In einer humanen Gesellschaft ist das Individuum das Mass aller Dinge. Totalitäre Systeme, die den Wert der Gemeinschaft überbetonen und Individualismus unterdrücken und unter Strafe stellen, sind letztlich genau aus diesem Grund zum Scheitern verurteilt.

The articles and comments in this section focus on the phenomenon of the “sadistische Staat” (Hermann Glaser).
This term denotes a government behavior that is marked by the attempt to suppress individual freedom and civic liberties and to regulate the private life of some or all of its citizens.
In the “sadistische Staat” the media – which emphasize their “independence” at every turn – are sucking up to the figureheads of the ideology of the day, whatever it may be, in order to generate attention. “Deviant” behavior is publicly ostracized and subject to rigorous prosecution. The goal is to bring anyone to “justice” who takes a critical stance toward a given ideology and, of course, to make that ideology look as if it had been there for thousands of years and was going to be the moral guideline for at least another millennium.
Every thinking being who has read a history book or two, however, knows full well that nothing is more short-lived than ideologies. They come and go, and each time a new ideology emerges it promises to be better than the one it overcame.
The “sadistische Staat” has a long history, and it will never die. Chiefly because many people cannot cope with freedom. Some people just love rules. Rules that impart a sense of superiority seem to be especially popular. Punishing people who question those rules seems to be the biggest joy these poor people have in life.
The fight against the “sadistische Staat” and its willing helpers is a fight for humaneness, dignity and autonomy.
