9) Self-criticism, and 'Them or Us'! What is the meaning of left-wing, liberal or tolerant? For right-wingers, these are just as impertinent as gay and traitor. For us these terms are smoke in the wind, in reality, we don’t want to waste our time on anything or anyone, it’s only our personal life which is important for us. What did we do when we met such a poor, fanatic, religious, nationalist, and perhaps even talked to him? We only smiled at him. But if we were really serious about him then we even laughed at him. We felt strong and independent. We performed in our theatres, enjoyed our modern pieces, looked at our latest and most modern works of art, which we mostly did not even understand ourselves (The more incomprehensible and modern our art was, the more enthusiastic we were about it and despised those who could not or did not want to follow us.) and looked down on these poor, suffering right-wingers. We were fashionable, rich and successful. Not because we were tolerant, but because we devoted our time to nothing and no one, except ourselves. We took away the most beautiful girls from them and were more than visible, we were conspicuous! They swore revenge! What we see today is the revenge of the misunderstood, the outraged, the outcast, the sometimes despised of the nations. We thought that kind of spirit had long since died out, lying six feet under the ground. We really thought that right-wing people had learned something. But from whom should they have learned it, if not from us? We did not want to waste our time on them. We were satisfied with ourselves! If we were so smart and thought we could stand above everything and were convinced that our way was the way forward, we should not have left these poor, misunderstood, right-wing children of the nations so lonely and alone behind. Now they are taking revenge, and this revenge is bitter, not only for us but for themselves as well. I do not think they notice anything, because we too did not want to notice the way they suffered. But there is a big difference between them and us: they are zombies who do not even sense their own pain. Back to list!
