PS: Die Bitterkeit verhindert, eine Distanz zum eigenen Ressentiment einzunehmen, es zu reflektieren und zurück ins Handeln zu finden; stattdessen eben ewiges Wiederkäuen. Unsere kapitalistische Wettbewerbsgesellschaft befördert das Ressentiment. Die Demokratie verspricht Gleichheit, aber der Kapitalismus verhindert die Einlösung dieses Versprechens. (Jonas Lüscher)

PPS: Der Dummheit mit Argumenten zu begegnen, gleicht dem fruchtlosen Versuch, einem Gläubigen wahr und falsch nahe zu bringen.

(Ralf Rosmiarek)

PPPS: Talking about presidents and dictators, Zoe Leonard still suggests the following:

I want a dyke for president. I want a person
with aids for president and I want a fag for
vice president and I want someone with no
health insurance and I want someone who grew
up in a place where the earth is so saturated
with toxic waste that they didn’t have
choice about getting leukemia. I want a
president that had an abortion at sixteen and
I want a candidate who isn’t the lesser of two
evils and I want a president who lost their
who still sees that in
thet, ‚over tuezideimehfnet lays gom „harebt,
who held their lover in their arms and knew
they were dying. I want a president with no
airconditioning,
a president who has stood on
line at the clinic, at the dmv, at the welfare
office and has been unemployed and layed off and
sexually harrassed and gaybashed and deported.

I want someone who has spent the night in the
tombs and had a cross burned on their lawn and
survived rape. I want someone who has been in
love and been hurt, who respects sex, who has
made mistakes and learned from them. I want a
Black woman for president. I
want someone with
bad teeth andan-attitude,
someone who has
eaten that nasty hospital food, someone who
crossdresses and has done drugs and, been in
therapy. I want someone who has committed
civil disobedience. And I want to know why this
isn’t possible. I want to know why we started
learning somewhere down the line that a president
is always à clown: always a john and never
a hooker. Always a boss and never a worker,
always a liar, always a
thief and never caught.
