Re: <nettime> Stormy weather? Daniele Ganser edit


If he only would “complain”: “liberal fascism” and "totalitarianism” is now the minimum charge.

Just in case you want more context, Ganser now (as in: last week) likens himself to Sophie Scholl, another person he thinks, who, like him, needed courage to say the truth and to fight against war. 
Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3HdoLppnTI
From minute 5.15 onwards
“Even if you have truth on your side, you can be killed”.
“It is a good life: You meet other people who have courage…”

(And in case you need context (I know, I know, another liberal fascist misstep) to the YouTube platform “Mutigmacher” (the guys who interview Ganser): one of the two people is Dirk Helwig, who was a core member of “Widerstand 2020”, a farcical short-lived right-wing corona-sceptic party in Germany. 

But let’s all stop giving context to stuff, it will only lead us directly into fascist and totalitarian hell. It’s so much better to be the Scholls of our time and fight the dark forces and shed light on the hidden networks of power! And how can I be an anti-semite, when I am the intellectual and activist heir of Sophie Scholl?

Cite whomever they want to cite.

And by all means complain when someone provides additional context.
