RAF, or: How I lost my innocence

Reporters and bloggers really are some annoying rabble. The ones try to impart the truth (which ought to be hushed up), the others communicate their opinions (which need to be forbidden). Some even do both.

Buuuuuut fortunately we can do something about it. The Austrian juridical system not only offers the convenient peculiarity of a priori innocence for executives, politicians and celebs (as discussed in a former post), but also the one most accurately described as 'more money, more rights'.

Thanks to that, wonderful possibilities open up for us all. For example, and this example is completely made up out of thin air, it has of course nothing to do with reality, could the (mediocre) clothes shop 'Kleiderbauer' (herein after referred to as KB) incriminate some unpleasing animal rights activists by stating that they form a criminal organization. Because selling cheap clothes with poor quality for dear money has one grow wealthy, KB has enough money not to need evidence.

Also, it suffices in order to eliminate critical voices. Freedom of expression and press are annulled for the sake of economy. Whoever tries to appeal to reason and equitableness is being hunt down like a stray dog.

I don't want to nod towards someone at this point.









But I do.

Still, there are those wonderful people shouting: 'What's your problem, everything's fine! Freedom's limited a lot more drastically in other nations!'

I pretty much want to see them go to Duisburg and exclaim euphorically: 'What are you grieving for? There could've died a lot more!'

And why the hell isn't there anybody pretending there's no need to prosecute thieves because they could have done things a lot worse instead?

Human rights organizations keep affirming they don't care what happens in Austria because there're always bigger drawbacks somewhere else. That's the first step to not caring at all.

And the nation keeps whining about issues that really matter. Copulating bears, runaway snakes, morbid things like gay marriages for example. Or public poison, such as mosques or burqas, chadors, hijabs and whatsoever. Immigration in general.
We're frustrated and in need of skilled labor but weeeeeeeell, we can't allow foreigners to work in our beloved country, can we? Someone could actually get the impression we're open-minded.








Whatever… So, as conclusion I'd like to use this entry as an appeal for money in case someone actually reads my stuff. If so, it's also likely I'm going to get one of KB's many writs pretty soon.

I hereby declare this as a little fund raiser for us poor Reporters Avec Frontières.
