Über Veröffentlichen im Internet als emanzipativen Vorgang und “Netzaktivismus”

Wir haben vor gut 6 Wochen oder so angefangen, einen Podcast zu machen und auf diesem Blog Texte zu veröffentlichen. Ich wollte mal was über den Prozess schreiben, vielleicht sowas wie eine Art Selbstreflexion und auch ein Transparentmachen von Selbstzweifel.

Disclaimer: All thoughts and explanations written here come from a very personal place of the author and are not yet backed up by external sources. Hence why it is ,,a rant” on the topic.

now you call for solidarity
but what kind?

people around you, similar enough to you for you to relate
to show compassion? Continue reading A Poem

Completely impossible to sleep. I am so excited. As new thoughts have entered my mind. Forbidden thoughts about the coronapocalyps. Its not making any sense. Today police broke up people in the park, gatherings of more than 2 people. It feels like suddenly living inside some dictatorship, except for the lazy non aggressive tone of the cops, and the fact that it is done with mass consent and public fear. Oh wait. Really., all my alarm bells are ringing. Why didn’t I see it before?
