Editorial on Tiktok and Osama bin Laden: Not everything was better before

“Letter to America”: Osama Bin Laden (1957-2011).
Reza RafiEditor-in-Chief SonntagsBlick

Osama bin Laden has been dead for more than a decade, but these days the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks appears to be resurrected. Reason: An influencer is sharing a text on Instagram that a butcher posted shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. His Letter to America is a crude mixture of postcolonial theory, Arab superpower fantasies, and evergreen anti-Semitic ideas. In short: Muslims everywhere are simply victims, the West is in the grip of a war frenzy, and Judaism still controls the situation in the background.

The fact that ignorant millennials shared this nonsense caused a stir around the world. The British Guardian, which published the text in full, immediately deleted it, and Der Spiegel was horrified: “Young people are suddenly promoting al-Qaeda propaganda and justifying violence.” This episode puts the younger generation in a bad light, including misguided climate icon Greta Thunberg in a Palestinian scarf. The image of Generation Z is already in the basement: with a fake Linkedin profile, media abstinence and a 170-character intellect, they indulge in a twenty-hour work week and want to become millionaires by the age of 20.

The accusations are unfair. Two or three generations ago, young people glorified China’s “Great Helmsman” Mao, who was blamed for the deaths of up to 80 million people. Other heroes of the then supposedly highly educated young generation were named Lenin and Trotsky. This Soviet nostalgia later spilled over into pop culture.

Today, the biggest problems in schools are not students, but their parents. Numerous integration problems also stem from migration policies, which are not pursued by young people. Moreover, ideological cheese in Tiktok is spread not only by young people, but also by gray-haired educational philistines and salon fascists in their prime, inexperienced assistants of totalitarian powers, in all sorts of publications.

Hope comes more from the next generation. Osama bin Laden is dead.
