Self-Proclaimed Democracy Experts Outraged by the Beloved Leaders — dieBasis Calls for Greater Public ParticipationHow dare they? These self-appointed democracy experts, these shameless grassroots activists and other troublemakers actually have the audacity to question our sacred representative democracy and, above all, our dearly beloved leaders in Berlin and the state capitals! 
It is an outrageous insult, a full-scale attack on everything that should be sacred to us. The lines one has to read on the dieBasis Saxony-Anhalt website are simply shocking. Even the headline Democracy Doesn't Need More Patience – Democracy Needs More of the Citizen is enough to make every obedient and loyal citizen shudder. While our federal and state governments, with boundless wisdom and fatherly sternness, lead the country from one crisis to the next, these ingrates come along demanding more citizen participation! More direct democracy! Lower thresholds for popular initiatives! As if "the people" actually knew what was good for them. The sheer arrogance of these people is breathtaking. Our beloved leaders sacrifice themselves for us day and night—and instead of being grateful and patiently waiting for the next election, these troublemakers suddenly want a say, want to initiate legislation, and even stop major projects? Scandalous! Outrageous! Practically an act against the state itself! How wonderfully our democracy functions, precisely because it keeps the citizen exactly where they belong: put an X on a ballot every few years, then keep quiet and trust. That is not disenfranchisement—that is mature statecraft! Our chancellors, minister-presidents, and governing coalitions know perfectly well why referendums are burdened with high quorum requirements and exclusions for important issues. Because the citizen is simply too foolish, too impatient, and too emotional to make complex decisions. Thank goodness we have professionals at the helm to protect us from ourselves. And now these democracy romantics from dieBasis come along complaining that the barriers in Saxony-Anhalt are too high, that the will of the people should become binding, that genuine participation between elections is needed. The audacity! As if Article 20 of the German Basic Law were actually meant to be taken seriously instead of serving as mere decoration. Representative democracy is successful precisely because it keeps the people at a comfortable distance. Lobbyists, expert panels, party headquarters, and directives from Brussels—those are the true pillars of our stability. Not this naïve nonsense about "collective intelligence." It borders on high treason when these self-proclaimed democracy experts claim that democracy needs not more patience but more of the citizen. More patience! That is the only proper response to every crisis. Patience while energy prices explode. Patience while the borders remain porous. Patience while mountains of debt continue to grow. Patience until an open war with Russia can finally be launched. Our beloved leaders have everything under control—and that is exactly why they must not be disturbed by pesky popular initiatives. Anyone who sees things differently is attacking the very foundations of "our democracy." How dare these people criticize the blessed sluggishness of the system? The high hurdles in Saxony-Anhalt are not a bug—they are a feature! They protect us from the rash decisions of the people. A score of 3.7 in the referendum ranking? A badge of quality! Rank 12—excellent! It proves just how effectively our elected representatives protect the people from themselves. Only one failed popular initiative since 2005? Not evidence of structural exclusion, but proof of the wise foresight of our institutions. Dear democracy experts: Leave our beloved leaders alone and let them do their work! Stop disrupting the harmonious cooperation between political parties, the bureaucracy, lobby groups, and the established powers with your primitive desire for genuine sovereignty. Our democracy is strong precisely because it contains so little actual democracy. Anyone who fails to understand that has never truly understood it. Keep dreaming about your "bottom-up democracy." Reality belongs to those who sit at the top—where they belong. And there they will remain. With our full and patient support. Or are you seriously suggesting that anything should actually change? Now that really would be—uh... far too democratic.  Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
