Gender madness, wokeness, cancel culture, mass immigration, EU bureaucracy, and the suppression of Christian values are challenging Europe and Switzerland. ZDF legend Peter Hahne discusses the crises and Europe's dwindling foundation of values and outlines solutions for how we, as individuals and as a society, can defend ourselves against this lack of freedom.
Ah, freedom. It used to smell of fresh mountain air, today it smells of EU-compliant bottle caps. The great moment of freedom on a Swiss jet: the lid is unscrewed – until you learn that even the Valais water needs a childproof lock for Brussels. Then the media block: Of course, "everything is left-wing" – except that ZDF and the like are governed by precisely those bourgeois who perform the anti-left dance in front of the cameras. Attitude is the name of the game, backbone is the name – and what's delivered is flexibility yoga: debt becomes "special funds," duty becomes "solidarity," censorship becomes "community standards." It works on any talk show.
Continuing the "digital first" program: e-ID, wallets, mandatory card payments. This is sold as a convenience—practical until real-time tax access is added to the booking, the sixth flight is canceled due to CO₂ social security points, and the digital franc takes a short break "for systemic reasons." Cash? "Only for complete idiots," say the card clergy—until the internet falters and even the airport accepts private cell phones. But of course, abolish it—the last analog freedom.
Industry & Climate: Bosch is evaporating jobs, Lufthansa is evaporating staff – but the moral balance is slumping. Electric cars are being treated like monument preservation; anyone who criticizes them gets a subscription to "future deniers." At the same time, the logic of armaments is marching in: the young are supposed to be trained for war; literate, able to live, capable of peace? Luxury items. Neutrality was yesterday; today it's the club of the good – entry is in exchange for an arms package, Geneva as a brand of peace is on sale.
EU? 2000 pages of treaties, a midnight vote, followed by a framing exercise: Anyone who criticizes Brussels "hates Europe." And when all else fails, the tried-and-true Hitler subscription in ratings and commentary columns helps. Add to that the gender-jumble of sentences in local newspapers, until the crowds are so full of students that no one knows why the school is actually closing.
Conclusion: We're sailing on a brilliantly lit steamer without a compass. The kitchen is top-notch, the onboard tape is playing, but the course is heading for a cliff. Those who don't like it can write letters to the editor, pay in cash, turn on their phones—and turn off the autopilot. Freedom begins when the lid turns—and so does your head!

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
