Ah, how refreshingly modern! The new zeitgeist in its purest form: "You are your own god!" – the mantra of a generation that complains to the universe when the coffee is too hot. Taking responsibility sounds nice, as long as it's limited to mindfulness, yoga, and a selection of organic smoothies.
"You are the only authority that decides about your life" – wonderful! Try telling that to a Hartz IV recipient, a single mother, or an oncology patient. They'll surely appreciate such spiritual self-responsibility.
"Consciously take control of your thoughts, actions, and decisions" – sure, ideally with a coaching package, success journal, and online course "Manifest Your Destiny in 21 Days." And if you fail, you simply didn't visualize it properly.
"You are your own god" – of course! A god with burnout, a Netflix subscription, and a bank balance on the brink of enlightenment. Who needs religion when you can worship yourself – in high definition, with a selfie filter, and a healthy dose of self-deception?
"Don't pray, beg, or hope, but get up!" – Sounds like motivation, but smacks of moral pressure in esoteric garb. The ultimate self-empowerment for those who believe that fate can be replaced by willpower and structural problems can be cured with affirmations.
In the end, there remains a simple sentence behind all the glitter philosophy:
You are free – as long as you function perfectly.
No God. No state. Just you. And your self-optimization mania with a halo.
"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.
