Das Bestreben, das Gedenken an Opfer d. Nationalsozialismus zu zentralisieren (und auf den Friedhof zu beschränken) hat eine lange Tradition und eine entlastende Funktion.
In meiner Diss habe ich das am Beispiel der #Todesmärsche untersucht. Wen das interessert:

Ein Wahlsieg der Linken reicht aus, und die Verlogenheit der leitmedialen Krisenrhetorik der letzten Jahre wird in ihrem ganzen Ausmaß deutlich. Hinter der AfD stehen, ach ja, besorgte Bürger, hinter den Linken terrorverherrlichende Extremisten. Das ist der neue Sound, der sich über Deutschland legt

The one thing is losing Dolly, a fundamentally decent and kind human who was everything good people said about her and more.
The other thing is living through this pivot to open facism and feeling every loss of people who just kept doing what is right and good tenfold and not knowing how to bear it

CN patriarchale Gewalt
Was mir in dem Bereich tätige Freund*innen berichtet haben ist auch: viele Männer nehmen vor allem SozialarbeiterINNEN, die zu häuslicher und familiärer Gewalt arbeiten, als staatlich engagierte "Störenfriedinnen" dar, die es wagen, sich in deren Privatleben einzumischen.

Maybe it needs to be pointed out again but: art is work.
Work has to be compensated for. We can discuss the question of access once the artist has been payed. But if the artist pursues this as any form of career, compensation is non-negotiable until we made a better, non-capitalist society

Das nur mal so am Rande zu diesem leidigen Thema von Digitalisierung von Bildungseinrichtungen und deren Sammlungen: Digitalisierung ist kein Allheilmittel und ja, mehr digitalisierte Sammlungen, deren Wartung (!) entsprechend finanziert ist, wären schön, aber nichts ersetzt das physische Objekt.
Es ist auch oft nicht wirklich sinnvoll, diese Publikationen zu digitalisieren, weil sie zwar wichtig sind, aber von wenigen Leuten genutzt werden. Da reicht es, das im Magazin zu lagern und gut ist. Digitalisierung und digitale Archivierung erzeugt da im Verhältnis eigentlich nur mehr Aufwand.

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️.
But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.
This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.
It worked.
It worked.
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?
