Autorentext
Ich wurde sozialisiert (wie man heutzutage sagt) in einem Land vor dieser Zeit. Ich war in der evangelischen Jugend, verweigerte den Reservedienst, verlor meinen Job, machte Gelegenheitsjobs für die evangelische Kirche, wurde unregelmäßig von zwei Herren im Trenchcoat besucht. Die üblichen Spielereien der Macht. Also nichts was nicht Hunderte / Tausende andere genauso oder schlimmer erlebt hätten. Ich war nicht der Typ, der mit gesenktem Kopf und erhobener Faust durch die Gegend lief. Ich nahm die Bonzen einfach nur beim Wort. Das genügte um sie vorzuführen und sich bei ihnen unbeliebt zu machen. Dann 1989 wurde es überraschend ernst. Aus unseren Cafèhaus-Parolen wurden Montagsdemos. Die Vorgänge überschlugen sich. Um ehrlich zu sein, hatte ich wie die meisten keinen Plan für diesen Fall zur Hand. Jeder musste für sich zusehen, wie er zurechtkam. Das geschah in sehr unterschiedlichem Tempo, wie die explodierende Scheidungsrate jener Zeit beweist. Konsum, bunte Bilder, Neonreklame, Kredite, Ratenzahlungen, Vertreter und Verkäufer jeder Coleur und Moral versprachen Utopia, Parteienvertreter aller Richtungen erklärten sich zu Heilsbringern und warnten vor den jeweiligen Kontrahenten. Zurzeit lebe ich in der Nähe Hamburgs.
