Explanation and justification<\/h3>\n\n

In modern societies, state or institutional action is often legitimized with the term \u201cprotection\u201d. There is talk of \u201cprotecting health\u201d, \u201cprotecting democracy\u201d, \u201cprotecting public order\u201d. But what if this \u201cprotection\u201d is not based on education, participation and freedom – but on coercion? <\/p>\n\n

Coercion<\/strong> means that people have no choice. They are forced to do something against their will – be it through laws, punishments, social ostracism or physical violence. They lose control over their bodies, their opinions and their decisions. That is by definition: violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The dangerous reinterpretation<\/h3>\n\n

It is a dangerous linguistic trick to reinterpret coercion as care. Because this legitimizes violence – no longer as an exception, but as a supposed duty. Those who \u201ccompulsively protect\u201d do not protect – they rule. And anyone who resists this \u201cprotection\u201d is criminalized, pathologized or morally devalued. <\/p>\n\n

Examples from the recent past:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Compulsory vaccination under the pretext of the common good, although medical freedom is a fundamental right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Banning opinions under the pretext of \u201cprotection against disinformation\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Movement or occupational bans on the grounds of \u201cinfection protection\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Compulsory measures in schools, clinics and the workplace without individual risk assessment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    These measures were not sold as violence, but as \u201cnecessary\u201d – and yet they have disenfranchised, divided and traumatized people.<\/p>\n\n

    Legal and ethical principles<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    • The Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/strong> guarantees the right to physical integrity, freedom of expression and freedom of choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The German Basic Law<\/strong> declares human dignity to be the highest norm – coercion contradicts this dignity if it is not used in the context of genuine self-defense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • In medical ethics<\/strong>, the principle of informed consent<\/em> applies – no one may be forced to undergo an intervention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Coercion therefore not only contradicts ethical principles – it destroys trust, personal responsibility and social coherence.<\/p>\n\n

      What real protection means<\/h3>\n\n

      True protection is based on:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Clarification instead of threats<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Voluntariness instead of obligation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Respect instead of paternalism<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Dialog instead of control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Only those who can decide freely can live in true safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

        Our position<\/h3>\n\n

        We2030 stands for a society in which people are treated as responsible beings – not as objects of state control or therapeutic omnipotence.Coercion destroys trust.Coercion destroys community.Coercion destroys freedom.<\/p>\n\n

        Coercion is not care – coercion is violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
