Before we start throwing around the word "Nazi" again today – usually as a moral wrecking ball in public discourse – perhaps a brief look at the actual characteristics of this species would be appropriate. No, not their ideology, which is already being indiscriminately applied to anyone and everything that dares to express their own opinion. I'm talking about their mentality: unconditionally loyal to the state, subservient to authority to the point of self-abandonment, incapable of recognizing propaganda for what it is – because it comes attractively packaged as "truth."

These weren't rebels. These weren't skeptics. These were the people who obediently said "yes" when the government shouted "Heil." Those who believed in progress with shining eyes—as long as it came from the right ministry. Perfect conformists, compliant in their attitude, but tough on anything that deviated from the norm. The dream of every modern bureaucracy.

And today? The methods are more sophisticated, the slogans more subtle, the rhetoric sugarcoated – but the principle is the same. The masses believe they are on the side of good because they saw it on television. "We are defending 'our democracy'!" simply sounds better than "We follow blindly, as long as it's convenient."

How could it have come to this? Well, by the same kind of person who considers themselves particularly enlightened today obediently nodding in the right direction, donating, blocking, and denouncing – for the greater good, of course.

Of course, one could study history for decades and miss this simple irony. Or one could simply look in the mirror: there he stands, the obedient Democrat 2.0 – firmly convinced that this time he's on the right side. Until someone else asks: "How could it have come to this?"
Spoiler alert: Exactly.

"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.
