Erlangen: Aenigma

It's you know in what sense it is evil. It's not this  Buddhist smile I love you all and so on. It's okay imagine you are a happy single man woman whatever  uh and you have a relatively satisfied love. You meet with friends. You have a good job. Maybe  here and there a one night stand. Life is okay... Then you meet a borderline Jewish woman with a nose ring similar to your borderline ex-girlfriend (but with different psychodynamics), you make a derogatory remark about her scarred arms, you write a few lines in an autoethnography read by you fellow students about aggressions, your father & the hysterical fear of eastern Europeans towards knife-wielding refugees, and suddenly someone calls the police and your social life is over for the next eight years. R.I.P....."eine ernsthafte Gefährdung der öffentlichen Sitten jedoch, daß am Ende die Polizei Erklärungen von sich gab, jene Schüsse hätten mit dem moralischen Kreuzzug nichts zu tun gehabt. In einer Gesellschaft, die auch nur entfernt so mündig wäre, wie ihre Verfassung es unterstellt, müßte die Publizität solche Vorkommnisse unmöglich machen;" (Adorno)
