So, my dears, this is the Federal Council photo for 2026. At least, that's what it would look like if we did reality the favor of being honest for once. Of course, this is just AI-generated satire. Calm down. In reality, the picture would be much more subtle. And by that, I mean: much worse.
While AI at least attempts to make irony visible, political reality continues to rely on camouflage. On polished appearances bordering on irrelevance. On faces that simulate competence while routinely delegating responsibility to task forces, commissions, and "ongoing processes."
The official photo isn't a reflection of leadership anyway, but rather of administration. A group picture of utter vagueness. People who look as if they're about to collectively decide not to decide on anything concrete. Stance? Non-existent. Vision? In the cloud. Backbone? Probably outsourced.
But don't worry. Anyone who has doubts can check it all themselves. Just quickly go to admin.ch Stop by. Our premium government website. A digital experience somewhere between a fax machine and PowerPoint 2003. A platform that impressively demonstrates that stagnation isn't accidental, but rather cultivated. With taxpayers' money. And pride.
There you'll find everything: glossy photos, empty phrases, 180-page PDFs that say absolutely nothing. Transparency that's been filtered until it's opaque again. Citizen engagement in size 6 font.
This photo of the Federal Council is not a portrait of power. It's a still life of irresponsibility. A kind of class photo of those who have learned how to govern without ever leading. And the best part is: you don't even have to be cynical to see it. Just looking is enough.
But please, only briefly. Looking at it for too long could have side effects…
And here's the summary:
"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.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
