Even with the greatest possible creativity and ingenuity, it is impossible to imagine what pathological, velvet-gloved do-gooders will come up with in order to satisfy Germany’s apparently only remaining raison d’être, even down to the last niches and subtleties – the care, pampering and mothering of migrants. Two years after Corona and the resulting renunciation of festivals, music, celebrations and occasional fireworks, the main concern of some organisers and local politicians is that all the noise could disturb the “traumatised” war refugees.
For the left-wing radical newspaper “taz”, the case is already clear. The paper says: “Fireworks often have a frightening or even re-traumatising effect on refugees. Should we therefore refrain? In a way, yes.” Already, “in many cities” in Germany, there is discussion about whether fireworks are justifiable in the face of “cities crowded with people who have fled the Ukraine war and for whom nightly banging and flying sparks in the sky mean death, pain and despair”. Hamburg has already announced that it is taking action – and has indeed cancelled its fireworks displays. In other cities, such as Hanover, organisers are “informing” the potentially disturbed refugees about the planned fireworks.
After New Year’s Eve was first banned regionally for ecological reasons, then last year for the first time nationwide under the idiotic excuse of “Corona” or “protection against infection”, and the traditional large fireworks displays were effectively abolished throughout the country, the pyrotechnical spectacles elsewhere are now also to be cancelled. Instead of presenting them as an expression of splendid illumination art and as a peaceful manifestation of noise and light, especially to the war refugees, Germany thinks it has to display a new form of solidarity. The phantom pain of left-wing saviours and advocates of humanity, but never of the Germans, is reaching unimagined proportions.
