  1. A quotation from Cicero

    Those very philosophers even in the books which they write about despising glory, put their own names on the title-page. In the very act of recording their contempt for renown and notoriety, they desire to have their own names known and talked of.
     
    [Ipsi illi philosophi etiam illis libellis, quos de contemnenda gloria scribunt, nomen suum inscribunt; in eo ipso in quo praedicationem nobilitatemque despiciunt, praedicari de se, ac nominari volunt.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Pro Archia Poeta [For Archia the Poet], ch. 11 / sec. 26 (62 BC) [tr. Yonge (1856)]

    @OhWeh Der #Cicero-Titel bezieht sich wohl auf einen Artikel, der #Milei feiert und die #Hausdurchsuchung bei #Bolz nach dessen Verwendung eines #Nazi-Wordings als Meme kritisiert und das Ganze zu einer Fundamentalkritik am Staat an sich hochstilisiert.

    Die Hausdurchsuchung bei Bolz, die schlicht darin bestand, sich von ihm bestätigen zu lassen, dass er Urheber des zum #Ermittlungsverfahren führenden Postings war, kann man natürlich kritisieren. Die Strafnorm will verhindern, dass Nazi-Symbole wieder alltäglich werden. Hier stellen sich immer Fragen der #Verhältnismäßigkeit und auch des #Anfangsverdachts, wenn im Rahmen einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung derartige Memes oder Wordings z.B. ironisch oder - wie bei durchgestrichenem #Hakenkreuz
    - klar ablehnend verwendet werden.

    In dem Cicero-Artikel wird das Ganze aber plump dazu benutzt, den Staat statt als Garant für #freiheitlich-demokratische #Rechtsstaatlichkeit als Feind und Gefahr dafür zu framen, #libertär eben. Da wäre jede Differenzierung störend, logisch.

    Tatsächlich ist staatliche Macht in einem demokratischen Rechtsstaat immer regulierungs- und kritikbedürftig, damit sie Freiheit nachhaltig schützt und nicht abwürgt. Darum geht es den libertären Kräften aber nicht. Sie wollen einfach unkontrolliert ihrem Drang nach Bereicherung nachgehen können.

    Wer sich differenziert über die Durchsuchung bei Bolz informieren möchte, sei der verlinkte Artikel empfohlen.

    Und zu Deiner Frage: #Notheis und Cicero vertreten damit zwar sicher nicht die gesamte #CDU, aber ich fürchte, doch eine aktuell relevante Strömung darin, die sich gern rechtsstaatlicher Kontrolle von Regierungsmacht entledigen würde.

    What juster reason is there for the waging of war than to repel slavery? a condition in which, though your master may not be oppressive, yet it is a wretched thing he should have the power to be so if he will.

  31. A quotation from Cicero

    What juster reason is there for the waging of war than to repel slavery? a condition in which, though your master may not be oppressive, yet it is a wretched thing he should have the power to be so if he will.
     
    [Quae causa iustior est belli gerendi quam servitutis depulsio? in qua etiamsi not sit molestus dominus, tamen est miserrimum posse, se velit.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 8, ch. 4 / sec. 12 (8.4/8.12) (43-02-03 BC) [tr. Ker (Loeb) (1926)]
