The conservative is concerned with his traditions, nationality, his culture. He takes it very serious.

A culture is not a serious thing. The tribal rain dance is a superstition, whether it is rhythmic or not. The nation shouldn’t heat up your heart too much. The nation is not a romantic entity. Its rules, regulations, and institutions must pragmatically defend our freedom, but not instate the freedom to infringe on other people’s freedoms.

In the conservative world, the burning of a flag does actual harm. What’s that you say? Gay marriage is a threat to other marriage? In the conservative world, the private life of others endangers your own private life, which–along with the majority of religious believe–is a clear impossibility in actuality.

Let’s explore the nature of marriage a little more, since this is a topic conservatives often raise. What is a marriage? If you believe religions to be true, a God is the will behind nature, marriage is the will of God, therefore marriage is a force of nature. If you believe religions to be true that is. Otherwise marriage can only be interpreted correctly as a cultual idea.

The obsession with the seriousness, validity, and presumed infallibility of a particular culture makes it impossible for the conservative to value or even perceive the strive of anyone who is not like the conservative himself. Too often, they end up on the wrong side of the argument.

This is why the conservative who does not understand his culture, nationality, religion, etc are optional is unsuited to lead the world.

Let this be the standard from now on. You can say you believe in how ever ridicules things. You cannot take them so serious that you are willing to use force to summon its importance–to shed any blood for it! Do you seriously believe that you can do that for us?

During the year 2009, 238 homicides were recorded in the American city of Baltimore. No two crimes are alike–different victims, different weapons, different locations, etc. From white power to jihad, the differences are in the culture, the big similarity can be found in the force of their culture brought by those who mistake their believes as forces of nature, and the inevitable result. The most extreme people feel extreme about their values, devaluing humanity in the process. Humanity is not a cultural phenomenon.

Freedom must not be optional, ergo the details of culture must be optional. A totality of faith is not an option!

I don’t need to drink beer, but I do need to breathe air.

I don’t need to have a God and faith in a life after death, but I do need to be alive now for me.

I don’t need to be with one particular person, but I do need to have love in my life.

I don’t need to learn the current cost of my health care, but I do need there to be one that works, if I get sick.

I don’t need to care about bad relations in blood, but I do need good relations with good people.

I don’t need to vote, but we need to have a democracy that is truly on the side of people–not of corporations.

I don’t need to win – ever – but I do need to triumph over those who don’t want to grand me these needs.

I don’t need to dance the waltz, but I do need to move unrestrained most of the time.

I don’t need to visit Mecca, but I do need to see beyond the horizon from the place that happens to be my home.

And I don’t need to be at home anywhere, but I do need to be around somewhere.

I don’t need a king or queen, but I do need a rule of law. One that gets in the way of those who don’t want to grand me these needs.

I don’t need to give upon asking, but I do need to give, if possible, so you can have what you need.

I don’t need to raise my voice, but I do need to speak up, not when things are already unbearable, but against each infringement to the better parts in human nature–most of all the consent.

I don’t need to take a shit on your value of culture – pardon the language – but I do need you to realize culture is a silly business. Yes, a silly business where you need to wear silly hats, sing silly songs, and pretend your traditions are fulfilling a need.

It used to be one Abolf Hitler was a hate-filled dictator. If you listen to people explaining him to us today, you’d think he was the devils answer to Jesus. They successfully turned the Hitler character into a mythology. As a result, every presumed evil in the world today is of the Hitler nature, as it used to show the nature of Satan.

There was more to the old Gods-of-war mythology than just how evil they were. They were also worshiped for their strength. Most people worship strength, and they can’t live without it. Before you know it, evil has found its purpose, and if it has purpose, it has a right to exist.

During the Bush years, there were people comparing George Bush to Hitler – propably because he started a war under the pretext of having been attacked first. This comparison was made by individuals on the political left.

With the right-wing out of office and a black moderate from the other party in, there are all these concernes about his policies, especially social policies, his legitimacy, and even his democratic intentions. Is the president a secret muslim who wants to instate sharia law? Or is it worse? Is the president a racist, socialist, commie-nazi?

While right-wing nationalists know some tiny details about what national socialism and the person Hitler really were, and they make up a lot of shit sometimes too, I’ve never heard them bring up these very important, very true points about it:

1. Very basic: The national socialist movement was the ultra political right.
2. When Germany invaded Poland, starting World War 2, Hitler went on the radio talking about how Germany was now shooting back, talking about retaliation when it really was an agression.
3. The Nazi regime sent gays and lesbians to the concentration camp. The reasons for this were different from those they had for sending Jews – there was nothing about them spreading, or trying to take over power. They just hated homosexuality, because it was an insult to the machinery of the perfect man in their Utopia.
4. As maybe his last act of insanity, Adolf Hitler, during his final hours, was convinced that America would join him in his fight against Communism. When Hitlers party took power, no fraction fought them as hard as the German communists. The communists were sent to concentration camps too.
5. The big idea of national socialism, from which the war and anti-Semitism derived, was the presumed superior nature of white, christian Germans over every other person in the world.

Of course white, christian Americans see the terror in a rule of a group of thug, superior, white, christian Germans. If that Hitler would have conquered America, he surely would have painted the White House all brown, and taught the German language to American children. Imagine den Horror! They’d all be speaking German now is a common thing right-wingers in America remind us of when there is criticism of an American war effort, talking about all the good American involvement in World War 2 did.

Well America, we know where you are coming from.

The first modern Americans took a land from the native tribes, and then got overrun by every tribe in the old world that learned of the new world with the means of travel to make the journey. By the most beautiful superficiality, they soon discovered that all men are created equal, and this was not only their opinion but self-evident. These were white, christian men (males) created equal back then.

George Bush wasn’t like Hitler. He doesn’t believe in white supremacy to an extreme degree, or that homosexuality is evil. I don’t think I even heard him demonize communists ever.

I’m not going to tell you who is like Hitler. You shouldn’t be concerned with that person. He is long gone. He wasn’t the last strong man. He wasn’t the last strong German. His strength was the promise of a Utopia were all the perfect people could live unbothered by the weak scum. A promise given to enough racist people gathering at one place who liked the idea.

Obama’s policies and the man’s character could not be further away from any of this.

You do not get to say you are proud to be an American, as long as all you question about America is the legitimacy of her poster boy.

Maybe you are angry at history again, for confirming yet another time that beyond the mythology of good and evil, real people of all colors prove more truths to be self-evident. And because you have all this power, you think they must be out to take over, each time they manage to take part.

The Love Parade used to be a giant party of dancing people on a vast street in Berlin for many years, until the city of Berlin, deeply in debt, pulled the plug on it. This year the city of Duisburg wanted to host the Love Parade, hoping to boost the town’s image.

A fatal mistake in the planing stage let to a disaster on the big day. There was only one tunnel leading to the event area that could not provide enough space for all the people leaving and entering at one time. The crowd jamed the entrance shut. There was no entering or leaving only pushing and less and less space by the minute. When the crowd dissolved there were deaths and many wounded.

First responders did an incredible job. Young men and women who were looking for an afternoon of dancing and fun found themselves performing CPR on strangers who had the same plans but not such luck.

In the following week came the late responders. Politicians were offering their condolences and the public found more then enough people to blame in Duisburg’s city hall and the company that organized the event.

In the church service a week later, Hannelore Kraft, the recently elected president of the German state of North Rhein-Westphalia, where Duisburg is located in, who’s son happened to be one of the spectators of the Love Parade too, stepped up to the front of the church, where they worship the human sacrifice of one Jesus Christ. With her voice echoing from the walls, she told us in what the press later called a moving speech that the father of one of the girls who died at the Love Parade said to her, the violent death of his daughter could have a purpose to it, if we all reconsidered our value system.

In the eyes of religion, there is always a purpose to death. Even life itself has the purpose to achieve a good kind of death – earn your wings and a harp, the seventy two virgins.

Wherever there is death, the leaders of religion are there to tell you its meaning. Where we see the innocent victims and sometimes the murders that took their own lives as well, they see the sinners and the blessed martyrs.

The Love Parade was a revolt against creation, and, as it is related to sinning, it is related to a judgemental and punishing God. These quotes are courtesy of Andreas Laun, bishop of Salzburg. He released a commentary paper entitled Love Parade, sinning, and God’s punishment, where he tries to knock out possible criticism early by stating it was nobody’s business to judge the dead, before he goes on to judge the dead, and the living of course.

He’s got an answer for you, if you want to know, if one can believe in a punishing God. His answer is another question, Can you believe in a God that makes no difference between the victim and the perpetrator? The world of the religious only knows these two states of being, and they’ll force you to choose.

As you are reading this, you have reached the part of this post when religious people will argue, You don’t get it. He’s trying to make a theological argument. God punishes you out of love, is what Laun says. God wants to get back mankind.

There are so many problems with all of this. The most important being that, because there is no God, theology is not a science, no, not even of the humanities. After the death penalty was carried out, the ones who were really innocent are not cleared for eternal bliss by God. They are just dead.

Mr. Laun has a message for people who dare criticise his assessment of a punishing God. God also punishes is a concept Muslims understand, he says, and they wouldn’t take questioning God’s punishment as easy as he does. Sounds like a death threat to me. The catholic threatens the use of Muslims.

For some reasons God doesn’t kill all the sinners out there. He got some from the Love Parade, but there are so much more everywhere. He works in mysterious ways, one of which is sending us humans on his holy missions. The sinners who slipped through his fingers are for us to punish. In the name of the father the son and the holy ghost.

Not in humanity’s name anymore!
