I was wondering if any of you would be interested in joining a Discord dedicated to the White Rose? The setting would be more intimate and friendly. It would allow us to learn, share and question even more. I have thousands of things to say that I don't want to publish, because I consider the information incomplete or unreliable. To have a place where I can share all this would be fantastic. Let me know if you are interested.

The White Rose

[whiteforfreiheit]

Kurt Huber, no date.

Kurt Huber accepted full responsibility for having led his young friends on this path and said “My goal was the awakening of the student body not through an organization, but rather through a simple word. Not to any act of force, but rather to moral understanding of the existing egregious damages of our political lives. A return to clear moral principles, to a constitutional state, to mutual trust of a man to a man. This all is not illegal. Rather it’s the restoration of that which is legal. Within the meaning of Kant’s categorical imperative, I asked myself what would happen if this subjective principle of my actions were to become law.”

“Every morally responsible person would raise his voice with us against the menacing sovereignt of naked power over justice, against the menacing sovereignty of mere caprice against the will of what which is morally good. That was what I wanted to do, which I had to do…”

«Für Euch ist dieser Schlag leider schwerer als für mich, denn ich gehe hinüber in dem Bewusstsein, meiner tiefen Überzeugung und der Wahrheit gedient zu haben.» – Alexander Schmorell to his parents [July 13, 1943]

«Wenn ich mich frag: Was hab ich hinterlassen? Konzepte. Skizzen nur - Papierne Massen. Kaum eine Reinschrift. Reinschrift meines Lebens Ist nur der Tod - und der war nicht vergebens.» – Kurt Huber to his family [July 13, 1943]

I have colored these two pictures of the "Weiße Rose" (White Rose) resistance group. You can certainly get more out of it. I still find it fascinating how a little bit of color makes the picture much more real.

A state that suppresses all freedom of speech, and which by imposing the most terrible punishments, treats each and every attempt at criticism, however morally justified, and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason, is a state that breaks an unwritten law.

Kurt Huber, university professor and anti-Nazi resistance fighter.

He was later stripped of his doctorate and beheaded for suggesting that the (Nazi) leadership which had recently come into power was wrong and needed to be removed. And thus he paid the price for his defiance.

And now we have a President who goes before a crowd and says that those in Congress who didn’t applaud his mediocre speech are treasonous. Mere days after seeking the ability to circumvent democracy to fire anyone who “betrays the American people.” A five-time draft dodger, speaking about a group of people (in every party) whom are veterans. A man who is constantly creating an “us vs them” mentality, with the only constant “us” being him. All other allies can, will and have been thrown under the bus as soon as their usage has ended.

This has to stop. This never should have been tolerated this long, and cannot be any longer. Stop empowering hate and incompetence.

Oppose tyranny. Fuck Trump.

Nichts ist eines Kulturvolkes unwürdiger, als sich ohne Widerstand von einer verantwortungslosen und dunklen Trieben ergebenen Herrscherclique "regieren" zu lassen.

Nothing is more unworthy of a civilized society, than to let themselves be "ruled" by a ruler clique that is irresponsible and devoted to dark drives without any resistance
