The Goldilocks Manifesto (of socialist dictated poverty for all) - Goethe-Institut

Such utter nonsense is paid for by German taxpayers!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is wildly spinning in his grave!

Who is to determine what is "Not too hot, not too cold; not too much, not too little"? The imaginary benevolent dictator?

"In our current era of financialized capitalism [???] the global social order is built around relentless growth and never-ending wealth accumulation. The result is upper-crust lives filled with exorbitant excess [???] that exists in parallel to people barely surviving on next to nothing. Often, the two opposites collide. In places like Los Angeles, it happens every day. And sometimes, this contradiction explodes into public consciousness more dramatically. Like this recent headline-grabbing juxtaposition: Billionaire adventure tourists perish while chasing six-figure underwater thrills as destitute migrants drown before reaching Europe’s shores. [???] These extremes, so chillingly highlighted by the two maritime disasters, are often front and center. Plutocrat extravagance [???] butts up against the most abject deprivation right under our noses. Hustle culture dominates social media spheres, preached by grind evangelists who have repurposed the age-old prosperity gospel. Cultural conditioning has us believing that striving for our own individual slice of too much is our God-given right, even a noble pursuit. Why be content sipping coffee in comfort when we can yearn for yachts and gazillionaire gadgets? After all, anything’s possible, right? Seeing this binary of too much and next to nothing, too many of us put our faith in those with deep-sea tourism levels of cash. In our aspiration, we side with tycoon interests, ultimately hoping that this will insulate us from ever having to join the ranks of those with next to nothing. But that’s a false choice, and there are others. There is enough. So travel with me to the Enough-O-Sphere. ...
Not too hot, not too cold; not too much, not too little — that’s the Goldilocks Principle. Used in a variety of disciplines to connote that precisely perfect condition, this needs to be our cultural goal instead. ..."
