Normalizing right-wing resentment, learning from Alexander Gauland and otherwise allowing everything to happen, as long as you are not affected yourself: According to Sascha Lobo, these are some important steps if you want to "really destroy free and open society". His latest column "So you too can become a stupid citizen" is also, but by no means only as a reaction to the election outcome in Thuringia to understand.
Lobo analyzes how citizens become sympathizers and allies of fascists: for example, claiming sole sovereignty over what is morally legitimate. Or by always referring to one's own opinion. "The dachshund core" is to make the dignity of a person dependent on its similarity to oneself.
The columnist exposes rhetorical gimmicks of rights, but also the lack of resistance of the non-right. In the podcast, he therefore asks the question of how to fight against his own dull bourgeoisie.
