Dieter Hallervorden is 90. Ninety. In a country where people as early as age 35 preemptively adjust their opinions to suit their employer, the algorithm, and the prevailing moral climate, here stands an old man doing something outrageous: He speaks freely. Loudly. Unfiltered. Without a trigger warning. Scandalous.
While politics and the cultural establishment have perfected the art of synchronized avoidance, and civil courage today mostly consists of hashtags, Hallervorden remains a thorn in the side. Not because he wants to provoke, but because he apparently refuses to sugarcoat reality so as not to upset anyone. That alone is now enough to be considered "problematic."
You can disagree with Hallervorden. You can criticize him. But what you can't do is accuse him of cowardice. He's simply at the wrong stage of life for that. Someone who still takes a stand at 90 doesn't do it for career reasons, but out of conviction. That's no longer a pose; that's character.
While our political class is primarily occupied with reaffirming its own importance, an old-school cabaret artist stands here and reminds us that freedom of speech is not a museum piece. He shows that you don't have to swallow everything you're served. And that dignity is non-negotiable.
Hallervorden is no saint. But he is a beacon of light in a time that prefers to dim rather than enlighten. And for that alone, he truly deserves a medal. At the very least. A man with his heart in the right place and an exceptionally honest tongue. Hats off to him!
"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.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
