wenn wir sie nonchalant nach drauĂźen tragen,
vorbei an Riegeln und Alarmanlagen,
versteckt in einem Eimer Konfitüre –
Der Stolz beim Stehlen teurer PerlenschnĂĽre.
The orphan-crushing machine is just a tool. You can also use it to mulch puppies and purée kittens.
Why are you angry? You can use it for harmless tasks like making mashed potatoes. You eat mashed potatoes don't you? Yes, admittedly it leaks machine oil into the potatoes, but they're working on that. It leaks so much less oil than it did when you tried it three months ago. In a year from now it's going to be a Michelin-starred chef.
Well, that’s typical, gatekeeping by telling people they should have to learn to cook. You don’t think people who can’t cook deserve good food?
So what if the machine is powered by slave labor? That's innovation. You're just scared you're going to be one of them. Besides, it's inevitable. Nobody is going to crush orphans by hand any more. You're going to get left behind.
Oh, well there you go with your ridiculous purity culture again.
Go draw a horse and watch it run - this is the kind of silliness the internet was originally made for ...
“What do you have to hide?“
Everything.
Full stop. Period.
Every. Thing.
What I had for breakfast is my choice to put out in the world.
Who I love, who my friends are, what we talk about, the books I read, the websites I visit, my favourite animal, my choice of shoelaces.
It. Does. Not. Matter. How. “Big”. Or “Small”.
Every. Thing.
It’s all up to me to decide who I want to share anything with.
"Identitäten - verstanden als Selbstverständnis, als Frage nach dem "wer bin ich?" - sind keine Konstativa, sie sind nicht gegeben, nicht fixiert. Vielmehr sind sie Ausdruck sozialer Relationen, aus denen wir etwas machen."
