In Austria and Germany, the situation is generally no better, mainly because the Greens are in government. Result: Shrinking economy, mega-inflation, anti-market policies and beginning of de-industrialization. The reasons for this: a frantic energy change, destructive authoritarian corona policy, a waste of money for migrants who are unwilling to integrate and support for a war in Ukraine that has long led to mass genocide along frozen fronts has changed. If we continue to allow ourselves the anti-business Greens to rule the government, sooner or later we will be reduced to an emerging country industrial quota, washing ourselves with a washcloth as climate radicals refuse to bathe. and our smelly bio-toilets going to the toilet, eating green vegetables, berries and meat substitutes, being inundated with trigger warnings when we want to show our kids a Karl May movie, everyone walking around with Gaevsler tattoos, drag Queens are being allowed to watch regular readings in kindergarten and antifa have to let us back into the house when another pointless curfew has been decided.
Meanwhile, many on the left also see the reawakened Greens as a threat to democracy in the medium term. For example, philosopher Susan Nieman recently published an impassioned book called Left Is Not Voc, in which she vehemently warns that the growing influence of the Awakened Left will undermine the European Enlightenment with its principles of universalism, universal human rights, justice, and faith. destroying. Progress can be erased. In her book, she speaks of a massive “enlightenment attack” that emanated primarily from universities and spread like gas throughout society. We are already seeing more and more that our society, which was supposed to be characterized by communalism, is dissolving into an aggressive anarchy of radical identitarian victim groups. “Tribal wars” fueled by jealousy, resentment and conflict are the result of this new tribalism.
According to Nieman, this radical tribalism, which leads different tribes to “emphasize a fundamental difference between their own kind and all others”, may lead to the downfall of our civilization. Another left-wing writer, cultural scientist Catherine Liu, explores in her book “The Tugendpacher” which sections of the population are actually behind the systematic destruction of our enlightened society. The answer is clear and obvious, they are start-up people, geeks and hipsters, a new petty bourgeoisie of high-skilled white-collar workers who take pride in their managerial roles, but also have ordinary people who inspire. Are and guide them everyday, despise. Catherine Liu calls this labor market elite the “professional-managerial class (PMC)”. It can be assigned to the following professional groups: creative people in the culture industry, journalists, software engineers, scientists, professors, bankers and lawyers, i.e. mainly “employed intellectual workers who do not own the means of production and whose main work is general The social division of labor is essentially a reproduction of capitalist culture and capitalist class relations”. According to Liu, the group waged class struggle from above against middle-class commoners, whom it saw as worthless. And this is why “PMCs” do not talk about inflation, skyrocketing rents and energy prices, or the mass poverty that largely afflicts the underprivileged, but about prejudice rather than equality, unjust. Talks about visibility, about racism instead of the economic system. Exploitation.
