Creating images of the enemy is the most effective method of manipulating the masses

🐦 Wenn Hühner zu Feinden werden: Wie aus einem Vogelgrippe-Ausbruch eine Geschichte von Gut und Böse wird – und wer dabei eigentlich welche Rolle spielt.

---

Stell dir vor, du liest von 500.000 getöteten Vögeln, von leeren Supermarktregalen und steigenden Preisen. 🥚 Sofort tauchen Bilder auf: die Natur als Bedrohung, vielleicht auch fahrlässige Bauern oder eine überforderte Politik. Wenn wir solche Nachrichten hören, suchen wir fast automatisch nach jemandem, dem wir die Schuld geben können – einem Feind, der das Chaos verursacht. Doch wer genau ist dieser Feind? Das Virus? Die Tiere? Oder doch eine Instanz, die uns nicht schützt?

Interessant wird es, wenn neben der Vogelgrippe von Waffendeals und internationalen Spannungen berichtet wird. 🌍 Plötzlich verschwimmen die Grenzen: Wer ist hier eigentlich gut, wer böse? Vielleicht ist die eigentliche Manipulation nicht die Erschaffung eines Feindes – sondern die stille Einladung, selbst einen zu suchen. Was passiert mit uns, wenn wir aufhören, nach dem Schuldigen zu fahnden, und stattdessen fragen: Warum brauche ich gerade jetzt ein klares Bild vom Bösen?
