Whether it’s kindergarten children in disguise or ordinary Ballermann hits – the drier the country gets, the more heated the debates become. If energy could be gained from the outrage, the downfall of the West would be postponed.
Problematic girl and boy stereotypes? Should the boy dress up as a princess next time?
Tim, Emma and Chantal want to dress up as cowboys, Pocahontas and a fairy for carnival. The daycare management forbids it. These costumes are not “culturally sensitive, non-discriminatory and prejudice-conscious”. Not to mention gender stereotypes. The names, the children, and the nature of the disguises are made up. There was a debate: in March 2019 in Hamburg.
Luca, Elin and Nuri are looking forward to the theme week at their school. For a week boys should dress up as girls and girls as boys. The theme of the second day is «chicks and cool boys?». Some parents find this problematic because it serves stereotypes. An expert agrees with them on the “20 minutes” online portal. The “Weltwoche” would like to counter this and write about gender-fixated indoctrination, but it can’t. She discussed the topic months ago using the example of another school. The children’s names and the disappointment of the “Weltwoche” editors are made up. The debates took place: in July 2022 in the city of Zurich and in February 2022 in Zollikon.
Debates are booming right now. Germany has been discussing for days whether the Ballermann hit “Layla” can be shouted at folk festivals or whether it should be banned. The song is vulgar and intellectually bogged down in pond mud, but it’s no worse than the filth that many German rappers spout. Who should decide what should be banned? The Corrupt Song Commission?
The hotter and drier the country gets, the more heated the debates become. Unnecessary discussions abound right now. It floods them into editorial offices and party secretariats, where they are skimmed off and channeled. That’s not new. Attempts to educate people with a left or right twist have made the headlines in the past: are kindergarteners allowed to take home-baked pear bread to the sugar-free kindergarten for mid-morning? Do patronage committees, on which women also sit, have to be renamed patronage and matronate committees? Should Swiss schoolchildren have to memorize the Swiss Psalm?
The proposal with the national anthem comes from the 2019 party program of the SVP. The genre Stupid Debates has quite a few pearls to thank her for. Many valuable contributions come from the pen of its heating specialists. These include a rescue operation for the Schüerlischrift or the idea of promoting the de-community of upstanding outskirts so that the socialist parasite cities don’t get any bigger.
The latest contribution to the debate by the SVP comes from the young party. Because German folk festival organizers want to ban “Layla”, the President of the Young SVP wants to promote the little song to number one in the Swiss hit parade. Not because he considers refrains like “She’s prettier, younger, hornier” to be endangered folk goods. He wants to set a sign “against even more bans and joylessness after Corona”. Artistic freedom and freedom of expression instead of woke culture!
Of course, the Wokeria cannot be offered such a provocation in the face of political competition. Because the SVP promotes sexism and discrimination and apparently measures the value of young women in the categories “young, blonde, horny”, the howler should be banned from the Swiss clubs, according to Juso. At least not by ban, but by self-regulation at the DJ desk.
If energy could be gained from the daily outrage, the downfall of the West would be postponed. The danger of a shortage would decrease with every angry discussion. Unfortunately, discussions about Winnetou costumes or ordinary songs don’t produce gas, only hot air. High time for a debate: Should stupid debates be banned? Yes? No? I do not know? Discuss with us!
