The walls of censorship are closing in now in all Western nations. Some countries have it worse than others, notably Canada, the UK, and Germany. The following example illustrates the DDR-like conditions that exist now in the German Federal Republic.

An ordinary school principal and the Eichmann complex

The school principal Jan-Dirk Zimmermann from the northeast German province of Ribnitz-Damgarten has made national headlines in recent days. His unexpected popularity arose from his sucking up to the supposed spirit of the times, which demands political conformity.

He called the police to “his” school. Not because a crazy gunman threatened to massacre his classmates and teachers. No. Because of the student “Loretta”, who allegedly announced on social networks that Germany was not a speck on the map, but rather her home, and shared a Smurfs video on TikTok, he had the police called for no apparent reason to publicly expose and humiliate the student in front of her classmates. She was taken away by three police officers. The student’s desperate mother contacted the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit about it. In his defense, Zimmermann said he was just following “rules.”

In doing so, he makes his sinister motives clear. The journalist Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) described this behavior, the reliance on regulations to suppress one’s own responsibility for evil, as the Eichmann complex. Arendt followed the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem in 1961 and published many articles about it.

Adolf Eichmann was a German-Austrian SS officer who had neither a degree nor completed professional training, but who fit seamlessly into the machinery of the organized extermination of Jews and took a leading position there. After successfully escaping to Argentina at the end of the war, he was arrested by the Israeli secret service and taken to Israel.

This happened because the words of the Frankfurt Nazi hunter and Attorney General Fritz Bauer fell on deaf ears by the German authorities, who showed no interest in Eichmann’s arrest and extradition. Adolf Eichmann denied his responsibility during the trial and stated that he had only followed “regulations”. He was sentenced to death and executed shortly afterwards.

It is symptomatic, both for National Socialists and for eco-socialists, not to take personal responsibility for the obvious evil they have caused and to denounce and report other fellow citizens who do not march in step. Yes, Zimmermann from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania found it really nice to report his student to the police for no reason, knowing full well that there was no crime. He was obviously comfortable with it.

This may not be an isolated case at this school. It seems to be a system. Also at other schools. There you also have “regulations”. The countless informers who anonymously report their fellow citizens to the numerous reporting centers set up by the state also feel good, even if it’s just out of spite. All these little Zimmermänner and all these little Eichmanns. The Eichmann complex is visible and audible everywhere. It’s always someone else’s fault or, if necessary, the “regulations”.

This complex is older than Eichmann and also has a long historical tradition in Germany. From the burning of witches to the end of the DDR, a vulnerable part of the population is only happy if they can denounce and report other fellow citizens to the authorities. They then applaud around the fire as the witches burn at the stake. These times continue seamlessly with Faeser and Haldenwang “in the best Germany of all time”.

Hannah Arendt wrote about Eichmann:

“Eichmann still represents the thesis, expressed much earlier in their theory of totalitarianism, that the official who is ready to do anything comes from the background of the wild petty bourgeois and oppressive paterfamilias, or, like this one single example, rises from an abyss of boredom.”

It is these bores who, believing in their perceived power, want to feel important once in their life. After terrorizing an underage student entrusted to him and setting the police onto her, as the philosopher Hans Blumenberg, who died in 1996, put it: “The monster has a clear conscience!”

Afterword from the translator:

No matter what some people might think, it’s really good that alternative media exist. They give a voice to those who are being oppressed by the “system”. Or does anyone seriously believe that the mainstream media, brought into line by the German power complex, would have dared to report on what was done to a young student in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania by her school principal? Or that this man from the Rhineland could even be revealed with his name and picture on ARD, ZDF or BILD without alternative media? I rather doubt it.

And I guess that’s why they have this label “School without Racism — School with Courage”. Financed and funded by the Federal Ministry for Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. The students will learn to be very “courageous” themselves and to rat out others that aren’t in lockstep with the programming and this is then rated by the authorities as COURAGE. It starts already in first class. That logo is “first-class courage” The principal “just had to” report it then, now, didn’t he? The question I would like to ask, is: “Who ratted out Loretta?” Was it one of her classmates or their parents? Welcome to 1933.
