| 00:04 | | May 16, 2020 — Gerhart-Hauptmann Square in Hamburg, Germany. |
| 00:08 | | An anonymous speaker at the Anti-Corona Lockdown demonstration. |
| 00:12 | | Well, I’d like to introduce myself too, you know. |
| 00:16 | | I would also like to take off my mask and say what I think, but I’ve noticed |
| 00:22 | | in the last weeks and months, that everyone who dares to voice their opinion, |
| 00:28 | | and if it differs from the public opinion, from the opinion of the government or |
| 00:34 | | from the opinion of the state-sponsored media, their life is made unpleasant. |
| 00:39 | | It can be singers, politicians, scientists and highly recognized scientists! |
| 00:47 | | Those who have done good in this country for so many years! |
| 00:54 | | So, normal people like you and me, we’ll be harassed. |
| 00:58 | | We’re being portrayed as conspiracy theorists, as right-wingers, |
| 01:01 | | as leftists, as this or that. Whatever. |
| 01:04 | | They just want to oppress us and get the majority on their side. |
| 01:09 | | Those who, because of their circumstances, because they simply don’t have the capacity or the time, |
| 01:14 | | because they are too busy trying to survive. They have shops, |
| 01:18 | | they have businesses, they’re at home, |
| 01:21 | | mothers with children. The people who aren’t to able to search for |
| 01:24 | | and get the information. —That’s right! |
| 01:27 | | They all just believe all the lies the media dish out. However, |
| 01:32 | | I want to say I’m not a corona-denier. Really, I’m not. |
| 01:40 | | I’m not a Corona-denier. Not at all, OK? I’m really scared for my job. |
| 01:45 | | I’m scared for my career and afraid of being rejected socially. |
| 01:50 | | And this is what they refer to as democracy? |
| 01:57 | | The minister of health, Mr. Spahn… Our Minister of Health Spahn, a banker, sits there and tells us, |
| 02:05 | | “Of course we want a controversial discussion,” but in the next breath, |
| 02:09 | | the political arm via official taxpayer-paid media |
| 02:12 | | asks the democratic people asked not to take part in the demonstrations. |
| 02:16 | | In my eyes, that’s disgraceful! |
| 02:23 | | Every democrat… Because every democrat in this country has the right |
| 02:30 | | to decide which demonstration to go to and which not to go to. |
| 02:37 | | And that can only be decided by being there. When you talked to the person on your |
| 02:41 | | left and on your right. To explain why you take the time, |
| 02:45 | | why you bother to go out on the street and protest, |
| 02:49 | | trying to explain to the people or to reach them |
| 02:52 | | and make them understand what is going on in our country. OK? |
| 02:55 | | For that our lives are made miserable and we’re the ones dividing society?! |
| 02:59 | | Who still believe that?! |
| 03:02 | | You know, that dictatorship a hundred years ago didn’t happen overnight, either! |
| 03:06 | | It came slowly. Creeping in with carrot and stick. |
| 03:14 | | That’s where the real division is in society. |
| 03:18 | | When people are encouraged on television to have a discussion |
| 03:22 | | within society, but then make us out to be a minority! |
| 03:27 | | So who, who here, standing here, is a democrat? |
| 03:32 | | Raise your hand! — Here! — Yes. That’s it! So where are the right-wingers or the leftists? Huh? |
| 03:39 | | I just want to draw attention to the fact that WE are society. Everyone of us is part of society. |
| 03:44 | | Of course society is made up of a variety of all kinds of people. OK? We’re all different. |
| 03:51 | | Each has his own philosophical beliefs, religious beliefs, |
| 03:56 | | different worldviews, but our democracy is founded |
| 04:00 | | on acceptance and tolerance toward others. By understanding and respect,… |
| 04:10 | | …but not through isolating our children. That’s a death sentence for their immune systems. |
| 04:18 | | That’s the reason I am taking to the streets. I’m fine. I have a great family. |
| 04:22 | | My life is good and I’m healthy. Thank God! |
| 04:26 | | I’m protesting for my children, so that they can have the same rights I’ve had. |
| 04:31 | | The right to grow up in this country, in a democracy, |
| 04:36 | | free to make their own decisions about they want to do in life, what they want to think |
| 04:40 | | and where they want to go. That’s what I want for my children. Thank you! |
| 04:55 | | End the masquerade ball! |
| 04:58 | | Stop the panic caused by the media! |
| 05:02 | | No Freedom! No Health! |
| 05:06 | | I don’t want a “NEW” normal, I want my old normal back. |
