Citizens against fascism: A short break from disgust - and then on

Actually, we are still gold, there are doctors and supermarkets and Netflix. Humanity is moving forward. Except for the fascists. A little guide so as not to go crazy in the face of insanity.

Since the fascists march through, encouraged by the media and a lot of money from billionaires, fundamental Christians and other greedy Kroppzeug, I sometimes forget myself. Or what makes life. Because the fight against fascism determines the thinking and feeling, but now and then we need a little break from disgust.

Likely on days when I have not read any news from the world about anything terrible, absurd, idiotic that I have no control over, or any idiotic news from my immediate environment that I could influence, albeit minimally. So before the beloved adrenaline rush sets in, giving such a pleasant sense of aliveness. Then my life is amazing. I have all limbs, of course they are true masterpieces in my case, nothing hurts, everything is great. My organs are in perfect condition, my brain works within its means. It's almost winter, the place is warm, the windows are isolated, there are trees outside, they are naked, but there. I drink coffee. Have breakfast. I'm full, in a good mood.

Yesterday I was at the doctor. A cold. I gave my insurance card, the visit was completely useless because - just cold. Almost gone. I can go shopping with my elegant limbs. Such a supermarket is already crazy. Heaps of food. Beautifully packaged, ok, you can question the plastic waste, but what does not exist. Especially from everything too much. 20 varieties of yogurt, 40 types of fruit and so on. Selection stress. No one looks at me at the ticket office, I do not stand out, I look like the people around me, pink.

At home then - hardcore trouble. The phone is three years old, the battery greases off. To calm down a bit of Netflix. Next frustration - the limited offer in Switzerland. Ok, then work. I have. Can I. It is ten o'clock. The people in Europe are getting older, I think incoherently. And healthier. Unemployment in my country is 3.9 percent. I write. My opinion. Without my work undergoing censorship; without running the risk of being detained.

After that I read a bit newspaper, I have the choice between tens of thousands of different media that do NOT all write the same thing. In the most solid patriarchal fortress in German-speaking countries, the city theaters, black actresses are cast, hey grazy. In politics there are more and more women and even women's football has more viewers. More girls learn to coden, and even in countries that are stock-conservative like my Switzerland, the majority of the population is for same-sex marriages. Not that it matters to them, but - despite all the focus on people whose desire for revival ends in fascist thought, people are moving forward, and part of them are overwhelmed.

Suddenly wondering how people are addressed, she struggles to realize that language is changing too, exceeds her comprehension. That there are different melanin deposits in the skin surface - ditto. Everything should stay as it never was. Where we landed again with the fascists.

After a brief rest, focusing on what is going well in your own life and in our societies, things can go on now. Contempt for fascists. And sleeves up to defend our lives. Against Nazis, surveillance, injustice, and the absolute nonsense of unlimited growth. I can again!
