Robert Misik hat den 1.100-Seiten-Verfassungsschutzbericht über die AfD gelesen und alleine die Sammlung an AfD-Zitaten ist in der Zusammenschau eigentlich unfassbar.
Sie haben auch schon ein paar Pläne für die Zeit nach „der Machtübernahme“, nämlich: „Volksfeindliche Medien verbieten.“ Denn: „Die Zeit, in der das deutsche Volk sich erhebt wird kommen. Es ist unsere Zeit!!!“

Reflections on why utopias have rarely held up to scrutiny and why we keep coming back to them. In there, a little reminiscing of Gramsci‘s pessimism of the intellect vs. optimism of the will (and heart).

Dringende Empfehlung! Sehr wichtiger Kommentar von @oliverscheiber.eu zur Medien- und Demokratiekrise! www.derstandard.at/story/300000...
Für eine grundlegende Medienreform läuft die Zeit davon
Nur tiefe Reformen zu Medien, Plattformen und Algorithmen können unsere Demokratie absichern. Hier sind Regierung und Zivilgesellschaft gefordert. Zuwarten wäre fatal

“… the endless fantasy in politics is persuasion without representation. You elect us to represent you, and where we disagree, we will explain to you why you are wrong. The result of that politics tends to be neither persuasion nor representation.“

For over a decade, my Foundations of HCI undergrad course has covered “privacy & surveillance” with a (2002) reading about the Panopticon and a once distant warning about how social media sites could create a self-censoring reality. And Ellison is just… owning/celebrating the dystopia.
Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand.
