Become a Slave of the Pushers.

I was invited to a dinner in Christiania and we discussed a lot. People get older here and with it comes less tolerance for noise and trouble etc. A lot of people here simply do not want conflicts anymore. 30 years of conflicts make you strong but as well tired.
In july 2008 now people here have to decide whether they want to work with this Real Danubia Fund or whether not. It belongs to one of the richest men of Denmark who has donated the opera house. This seems to be a good ground for conspiracy theories, espcially in Christiania. Well, that does not surprise me.
To me people here really seem to be overwhelmed by the sociologists, tourists and the politics ofcourse. Janusch is living in Christiania now since a few weeks and also has difficulties getting in contact with Christianians. He told me that when he tried to introduce himself to one of his neighbours and asked what his name was the man said that he forgot his name. XX said if she would be the good fairy she would give a surplus of energy to Christiania so people would be capable of handling more, especially what comes from outside.
XX said a main problem ist he pushers: They are not interested in a change. The ‚consensus decisionmaking is a pest’ and makes the pushers survive. She said: ‚Slowly we are becoming the slaves of the pushers.’

I did not take that photo myself. It is not allowed to take photos of pusher street and today somebody told me that they occasionally beat photographers up.
