When two do the same ...
... It is still not the same when one of them is in government. The essentially non-existent difference is by definition the most repressive law Spot a diffuse twilight.
But let's start out small.
When a kindergarten child to another takes away the scales, this is done mostly from the self to non-sense of the emerging dishonest scales without this being in a shortage situation. It will hardly be suggested that the child engaged in aggression per se is bad. Nevertheless, we understand only too well the attacked child if it is now quite naturally of his own formerly scales will again want to get hold of. Be it with the previously convicted of application - of course proportional - Violence.
Since we as human beings, despite significant shortcomings in the social basis but with a base potential to have a sense of justice, our lives always striving for weapons held equal, if it was already on the conflict must come.
dies Well this feeling of leaving the nursery does not suddenly, but rather it reinforces and drives in all its individual manifestations, it experiences depending on the socio-psychological development, a variety of flowers. It is absolutely understandable that although the scales vary, but by no means the latent Sense of justice, whatever may be a nature that in the end.
The respective interests arise quite generically from the social position. Of course, it is located a government anxious to know as much about the reign of her people to want to have their data. The more uncertain it is, that is, each convey a shaky their predicted in the next election, the greater, indeed manic, this interest, which is now more than ever - as possible - is reflected in a truly amassing data.
course It is located to the residents to know as much about the protagonists of the cycle of them elected government, the information. HAVE to do. Depending on whose incomprehensible actions mean is, the people they govern also, the more the public interest.
Now one might think that both sides were quits with her desire and united in the fact that mutual interest to satisfy at least a mutually acceptable degree. The all too often perceived as mere taxpayers and reliable votes donor citizens pay to the state, which they will eventually as qua vox both legislative as well as executive power has to accept its toll in the form of complete laying open up their privacy in the sense of lush civic duties. The government justifies its actions in the form of regular daily activity reports and federal hearings.
While the state in the form of legitimate government but has a diverse arsenal of perfectly legal means available and these are increasingly making use, are available to the citizens of comparatively a few crumbs to democratic means off to the routine periodic of objection expiry of the term available. Meanwhile However, this still has just a few of the citizens of the rights he is entitled to constitutionally be utilized to learn. And the interesting fact about this is that it is in the truest sense of the word ordinary citizen who is aware of this. The extra-parliamentary opposition, as it was the 68ers endorsement was in the middle of society to citizens simply too far left. The citizens' movements in the 80s were even knitted him, to monothematic and alternative.
But now, the former alternative, and the inevitable protesters, the self-thinking people would say I arrived in the much vaunted middle of society, perhaps grown up. And not imagine in that center in which the government parties or would-government parties and in sweeping speeches summon itself. It is a center which can be divided into no more conservative or innovative, well-deserving or coming to make ends meet, extravagant or stuffy, ecological, or consuming, family or selfish. The new center, as she described an all ignore man named Schroeder then in fact complete ignorance is, above all: a well educated and therefore exactly what it claims, the government of the whole society en masse and nationwide to send to do. And that is precisely the reason why these new, wide center no longer want to dictate what is good for you when it's bad for them. This center has been trained to think. And that's what she does now.
.
parallel to this attitude can now not so new medium appears on the scene, which, however, has the potential to make the powers that be fear. And for a very special reason, the fall in absolutely devastating to vulnerable prey species in the old days actually the so-perceived mob was reserved: Because they do not understand the Internet.
American Senators demand the full-bodied Delivery of Julien Assange and are convinced that - you have this one, oh-so-brand dangerous man once in his clutches - everything is back the way it once was. That Wikileaks is a unique phenomenon, not a hydra with heads endlessly renewable one and the same enlightened spirit. This ultra-conservative and pitiful old men do not begin to understand that what is happening now irreversible. That will happen from now on as it is not the same, but the time of their self-perpetuating caste is definitely over. Yes, they do not even remotely suspect that the time of the post-democracy in the sense of a true rule of the people - the middle class, I would like to be limiting, since the people will be sustainable and not quite involuntarily sedated with good bread-and-match programs, presented alternately by Argentina, PICTURES and RTL - the next step is we do not have to be ready to go, but we already do.
goods it used to be the means of production, which the ruling class have paved the road to success, so today we have the means of communication that put the turnout. Thanks to the Internet, contrary to all past and present - certainly absolutely successful - efforts to privatize, commercialize it, privilegisieren and legitimate, just growing up a generation that sees nothing strange in this medium that connects with no fear of the vast network and unlimited access to information. And suddenly it's the government - and we do not even see only the strong (as expected restrictive) usual suspects of the so-called non-free world at the forefront - to the citizen abverlangen otherwise with fervor much good stuff on your own initiative and are appalled suddenly that he and his peers and authorities also unregistered, even uncontrolled organized, mobile, makes its own best interests.
Information, voice, and - now we come to the casus knaxus - equality of arms.
It is the nature of things - we remember the scales - that nobody likes seeing eye can be defrauded. Elucidated, we have over 200 years. But now we finally have a tool at hand that we have mastered better than those who are my master. If we mean to use it - and this is particularly evident on clear - we can almost achieve what we intended to pursue in kindergarten already. A situation in which no one but the weaker and must therefore occur in the corner of headroom. A scene in which one can meet on equal terms and thus guarantees may also be that those who represent the people to vote, hold it really four years. The true when gender independent emancipation of the people. It may be that today's leading elected officials are not ready to accept that people assume continuously influence and not just every four years in a cabin cross as a protected view their only power. It may be that it takes a few years before this awareness has prevailed in the political caste, to replace the protagonist against flexible, listening people who know what it means really represent the people and not a lobby.
All this does not matter. It's been alone, therefore, irrelevant and a light hand ertragenswert because it is irreversible. We are witnessing these days, something relatively quiet, and contrary to other revolutions without deaths (another do not produce enough to lift achievement) that many of the established politicians and potentates still can not overlook. Mr Assange is not important. Wikileaks itself is not important. Sets them dry, cut them off - so you can do - from the inherent life-sustaining donations. It will be followed by hundreds of platforms that are committed to the same spirit.
There is a global consensus, a standard so your wish for. A standard for liberal thinking around the globe. This idea you should not continue to shrink, but also globalization have you wanted. And this standard is that no people live in the world, no individual in the unfree will. This standard states that we are by any government in the world - elected or not - require longer be disputed, what we may think or say. This standard is that we let ourselves be censored by anyone, neither in our thinking, even in our language or our actions. This standard is that we want to be informed about the things that determine our lives. This standard is that we do have access to education, regardless of their social, ethnic or religious layer we come from.
This standard is that we - all people on this planet - are free.
When two do the same ...
... It should also be the same.
It is the time for it.
We have the means.
And no one will prevent us from it to use.
