Immaturity Coupled with Megalomania and Stockholm SyndromeIt is a privilege of youth to speak freely and unburdened—unburdened by life experience and free from expertise.  Dear Friends of Peace It is a privilege of youth to speak freely and unburdened—unburdened by life experience and free from expertise. What was heard on April 21, 2025, at the open microphone in Bad Dürrenberg is a good example of this. That the young speaker does not know the background and causes of the war in Ukraine is understandable. When the ARD's Monitor program reported in the summer of 2014 on NATO as a driver of war in Ukraine, he was far too young. He also wouldn’t have been able to understand the DW report on the considerable influence of far-right groups in Ukraine at the time. But some things can be caught up on. In the Weltspiegel media library (March 9, 2014), one can read about Ukraine: “Within the Right Sector are many neo-Nazis who openly display it. SS runes. Nazi symbolism even on the fighters' shields and on the walls.” and “There is also a party of the right-wing forces: the nationalist Svoboda Party.” Wouldn’t that be a rich field of activity for an antifascist? But Nazi slang is back in Germany too. Dieter Hallervorden pointed this out. He is of an age that offers both life experience and ample historical memory. We are supposed to become “war-ready.” So, eventually, Goebbels shows up and nods approvingly, because that was one of his favorite words. Our young man from Bad Dürrenberg doesn’t even have to go to Ukraine; he can become active here as an antifascist and fight Nazi rhetoric—if he manages to find his bearings in the political chaos. We can calmly overlook the disrespectful phrasing and smile at the combination of immaturity and delusions of grandeur by saying: “… well, at that age.” But there is another, more tragic aspect. We are also seeing a pronounced case of Stockholm Syndrome here. Young victims of recent political measures are developing an emotional attachment, sympathy, and identification with the political perpetrators—a paradoxical psychological reaction. Although this is not a mental illness, but rather an emotional reaction to an extreme exceptional situation, there is clearly a need for therapy. That victims resist recognizing this connection and even defend the perpetrators against helpers is not unusual—it is part of a well-documented pattern. Since not only students but also teachers have been affected by these measures, this shows once again the urgent need to free educational work from the dominance of political power structures. For young people to develop with integrity, they need adults as role models—adults who maintain their moral stance even under difficult circumstances.
