KRAFT DURCH FREUDE
bamboo # 33 - anis 23.02.00 - for m.m.
did you say - kraft durch freude? - well, maybe you are
not - aware of it - but - well - this is one of the - nazi sayings - you know? - they even named - an organisation - kraft durch freude - this is what they
called it - they also said: -
arbeit macht frei - it means - workbrings freedom - they wrote it on the gates - of the concentration
camps - although most of those - who walked through the gate -
did not experience freedom - they also had no pleasure - many
of them - met with death there - no pleasure - no power - only
humiliation - and death - until the whole thing was over - in
1945 -- the americans - took photographs - they made documentaries
- about the camps - and about the thin - corpses - it was - and
it will always be - a cruelty -- it is not the fault of - the
words - it is the nazis' fault - it is the german's - fault - that of the agreers -
and that of the tolerators - but it is not - the fault - of the
words -- you ask me - what a jew - or an israeli - should think
- when he hears a german say: - kraft
durch freude? -- well - what should they think? - will they
regard this german - as a nazi? - rather not - but they will not
be comfortable - with it -- no - you just cannot say it - indeed!
- you can hardly say it - as a german - it sounds - completely
weird -- pity! - because it is true - after all: - when you feel pleasure
- it gives you power - lebensfreude
- lebenskraft -- poor
germans! - they don't really dare - to show - what pleases them
- not really - they rather talk about - how exhausting - their
work was - and all the things - they will have to do tomorrow
- they tell you about - all the things - that went wrong - today
- and who annoyed them - in the supermarket
- and about their health problems - and that in the end - everything
- is bullshit -- why does nobody help them?
- what shall they do? -- or let's take this
architect speer - he was an asshole
- but his buildings - have class - that's the way it is - those
nazi uniforms - just look terribly good
- even if they manifest - evil -
darth veda - the design
of the evil - what would
hollywood be - without them nazi uniforms? -- perhaps nobody took them seriously - anymore - when
the germans - among other things - got rid of their style - after
45 - people forgot about the germans - and watched - inspector derrick - on television
- instead - the series about a german - of whom you don't know
- whether he has - feelings - or not - and who pursues a lifestyle - in which - in the end - it does not really matter - whether
you have - feelings - or rather not -- (you could of course -
say the same thing - of the british - and the french - it is also
- a question of manners) -- did the germans - during the nazi
period - really have - so much pleasure? - the question arises
- because they had - so much power - where - did it come from?
- could it only - begin - because it led to evil? - would it have
been possible - for the power - to lead - to the good? - what
is good? - who decides - what is good? - who - shall i trust?
- the politicians? - the journalists? - mom and dad? -- there
is nothing to say - against -
kraft durch freude - except for: - is power really - something
good? - is it not dangerous? - did not the nazis
- name an organisation - after it? - if power is - not good -
why have pleasure? - what can pleasure be worth - in this case?
-- the power - it exists - whether we like it - or don't like
it -- we are longing - for alternative - energy sources - power
sources - for our cars - it is all - psychosomatic - if you ask
me - just like the garbage separation - all psychosomatic
