AnnaLena Habicht<p><a href="https://social.anoxinon.de/tags/DietrichBonhoeffer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DietrichBonhoeffer</span></a>, heute aktueller denn je:</p><p>»Die große Maskerade des Bösen hat alle ethischen Begriffe durcheinandergewirbelt. Dass das Böse in der Gestalt des Lichts, der Wohltat, des geschichtlich Notwendigen, des sozial Gerechten erscheint, ist für den aus unserer tradierten, ethischen Begriffswelt Kommenden verwirrend; für den Christen, der aus der Bibel lebt, ist es gerade die Bestätigung der abgründigen Bosheit des Bösen.«</p><p>Bonhoeffer, zitiert in Die Zeit 13/2025 S. 51</p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>When <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DietrichBonhoeffer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DietrichBonhoeffer</span></a>, a German Pastor, Theorized How <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Stupidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stupidity</span></a> Enabled the Rise of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a> (1942)</p><p>in History, Politics | March 26th, 2025</p><p>"Two days after Adolf <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hitler</span></a> became Chancellor of Germany, the Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer took to the airwaves. Before his radio broadcast was cut off, he warned his countrymen that their führer could well be a verführer, or misleader. Bonhoeffer’s anti-Nazism lasted until the end of his life in 1945, when he was executed by the regime for association with the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Even while imprisoned, he kept thinking about the origins of the political mania that had overtaken Germany. The force of central importance to Hitler’s rise was not evil, he concluded, but stupidity.</p><p>"'Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice,' Bonhoeffer wrote in a letter to his co-conspirators on the tenth anniversary of Hitler’s accession to the chancellorship. 'One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless.' When provoked, 'the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.'</p><p>"Fighting stupidity, to Bonhoeffer’s mind, first necessitates understanding it. 'In essence not an intellectual defect but a human one,' stupidity can descend upon practically anyone: 'under certain circumstances, people are made stupid or that they allow this to happen to them.' And it happens most noticeably when a particular figure or movement seizes the attention of the public. 'Every strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a political or of a religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity,' he writes. Since such phenomena could hardly arise without blindly obedient masses, it seems that 'the power of the one needs the stupidity of the other.'</p><p>"You can see Bonhoeffer’s theory of stupidity explained in the illustrated Sprouts video above, and you can learn more about the man himself from the documentary Bonhoeffer. Or, better yet, read his collection, Letters and Papers from Prison. Though rooted in his time, culture, and religion, his thought remains relevant wherever humans follow the crowd. 'The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent,' he writes, which held as true in the public squares of wartime Europe as it does on the social-media platforms of today. 'In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like, that have taken possession of him.' Whatever would surprise Bonhoeffer about our time, he would know exactly what we mean when we call stupid people 'tools.'"</p><p><a href="https://www.openculture.com/2025/03/when-dietrich-bonhoeffer-a-german-pastor-theorized-how-stupidity-enabled-the-rise-of-the-nazis-1942.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">openculture.com/2025/03/when-d</span><span class="invisible">ietrich-bonhoeffer-a-german-pastor-theorized-how-stupidity-enabled-the-rise-of-the-nazis-1942.html</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Histodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Histodon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BalladOfTheLittleMan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BalladOfTheLittleMan</span></a></p>

iamBullivant<p>Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born on 4 February 1906 in Breslau, then Germany (now Poland). He was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian and anti-Nazi dissident. Bonhoeffer was accused of being associated with the 20 July plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler and was tried along with other accused plotters. He was hanged on 9 April 1945 as the Nazi regime was collapsing.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DietrichBonhoeffer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DietrichBonhoeffer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GermanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GermanHistory</span></a></p>

god.fish<p><strong>Dietrich Bonhoeffer und der russische Angriffskrieg</strong></p><p>Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Theologe, Widerstandskämpfer und Märtyrer im Dritten Reich, hat durch seine Schriften und sein Leben einen tiefen Eindruck hinterlassen. Seine Gedanken zu Ethik, Verantwortung und zivilem Ungehorsam könnten uns Orientierung bieten, wenn wir darüber nachdenken, wie er den russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine beurteilen und darauf reagieren würde.</p><p><strong>Bonhoeffers Ethik: Das Handeln im Angesicht des Bösen</strong></p><p>Bonhoeffer schrieb in seiner „Ethik“, dass echtes Christentum nicht in bloßer Abkehr vom Bösen besteht, sondern in mutigem Eingreifen. Seine berühmte Aussage, „Nicht nur die Opfer unter dem Rad zu verbinden, sondern dem Rad selbst in die Speichen zu fallen“, wäre ein zentraler Leitgedanke seines Denkens heute. Für Bonhoeffer hätte der Angriffskrieg nicht nur eine ethische Verurteilung verdient, sondern auch aktive Gegenmaßnahmen, um die Unterdrückung und das Leid der unschuldigen Zivilbevölkerung zu beenden.</p><p><strong>Eine klare Verurteilung von Gewalt und Machtmissbrauch</strong></p><p>Die russische Invasion könnte Bonhoeffer an die Mechanismen der nationalsozialistischen Aggression erinnern, die er selbst miterlebte und denen er sich entgegenstellte. Er hätte vermutlich die Verantwortung der Weltgemeinschaft betont, sich klar gegen solches Unrecht zu stellen. Für ihn war Schweigen angesichts des Bösen gleichbedeutend mit Komplizenschaft. „Schweigen in der Stunde der Not ist Sünde“, schrieb er einmal. Diese Worte könnten heute auf die zögerlichen Reaktionen der internationalen Gemeinschaft angewandt werden, die mitunter zögerlich auf die russische Aggression reagiert hat.</p><p><strong>Aktives Handeln und Solidarität</strong></p><p>Bonhoeffers eigenes Handeln im Widerstand könnte ein Vorbild für die Unterstützung der Ukraine sein. Er hätte vielleicht darauf hingewiesen, dass der Einsatz von Sanktionen, militärischer Hilfe und humanitärer Unterstützung nicht nur politische, sondern moralische Pflicht ist. Der Mut zur Tat war für Bonhoeffer essenziell – selbst wenn dies persönliches Risiko bedeutete. Seine Beteiligung an der Widerstandsbewegung und die Bereitschaft, sein Leben für höhere Werte zu opfern, könnten als Appell dienen, auch heute entschlossen für Gerechtigkeit einzutreten.</p><p><strong>Die Rolle der Kirche</strong></p><p>Bonhoeffer hätte wohl die Kirchen in aller Welt aufgerufen, klar Stellung zu beziehen. Während er die „Bekennende Kirche“ gegen die Gleichschaltung des Nationalsozialismus verteidigte, könnte er heute auf die geistliche Verantwortung hinweisen, nicht neutral zu bleiben. Eine Kirche, die sich nicht eindeutig gegen Aggression und Unrecht ausspricht, verrät nach Bonhoeffer ihren Auftrag.</p><p><strong>Hoffnung auf Versöhnung</strong></p><p>Trotz seiner entschiedenen Haltung gegen das Böse war Bonhoeffer auch ein Verfechter der Versöhnung. In seinen Briefen aus dem Gefängnis schrieb er: „Frieden ist nicht die Abwesenheit von Konflikten, sondern das mutige Streben nach Gerechtigkeit.“ Auch im Kontext des russischen Angriffskriegs gegen die Ukraine könnte Bonhoeffer langfristig auf Versöhnung und Heilung hinwirken, ohne dabei das Unrecht zu verharmlosen. Er hätte betont, dass wahre Versöhnung erst möglich ist, wenn Gerechtigkeit hergestellt wurde.</p><p><strong>Ein Zeugnis für unsere Zeit</strong></p><p>Wenn Bonhoeffer heute leben würde, wäre er vermutlich ein Prophet unserer Zeit, der uns aufruft, klar und mutig Stellung zu beziehen. Sein Leben und Denken könnten uns ermutigen, den Mut zu haben, das Richtige zu tun – selbst wenn es schwierig ist. Seine Vision einer Welt, in der Menschen Verantwortung füreinander übernehmen, bleibt ein zeitloses Zeugnis. Die Frage, wie wir handeln, ist letztlich eine Frage, wie wir – in Bonhoeffers Worten – vor Gott und den Menschen bestehen wollen.</p> <a class=""
