#02 El Niño

Seeing people who pretend to be blind


Politics of Beginners versus Advanced - from El Niño #02

This title is by no means intended to be ableist, quite the opposite: the appropriation of blindness by politicians is an imposition and a real danger. For those who are truly visually impaired and for everyone else.

Metaphors aside: in the midst of a shift to the right, government parties that give themselves attributes such as "social, green and liberal" are being carried away into implementing policies that would have been considered "antisocial, environmentally harmful and illiberal" until recently (and are de facto), and we are also experiencing a drastic deterioration in the visible circumstances in our sector. Our sector is of course transport - after all, we are still Berlin's car-free courier service from the heart of Kreuzberg. What is happening there, from the highest to the lowest level, is a renewed promotion of the car as a panacea, as the binding agent of our society. "Everyone in the cars!" , as if it were a wake-up call for our fellow human beings who have fallen asleep, who are drowsy and apathetic and almost fall off their bikes because of all the environmental awareness. Those on public transport are dying of boredom. No, finally 620 hp again to show what the hammer hangs on the Gitschiner! Parking for free in the middle of the city, the only capital in the whole damn world! More cars, yes, let's clog everything up until nothing moves at all and the stupid bike hooligans choke on our exhaust fumes and finally realize that only the SUV will save us all!


Approximately 2,800 dead and 366,000 injured in 2023. About ⅓ of the dead were not in the car. Well, is there anything that stands out? No.

Schizophrenia turned into politics, in other words a loss of reality, there is no other way to describe these ultra-reactionary moves. Completely ignorant of the facts that are established in the universities from which they hold degrees - which in turn allow them to sit where they are sitting in order to ignore those same facts. "Christian, Volker, Kai, Ute, Manja (oh no, you were already plagiarizing anyway) - six, sit down! In any other job you would be thrown out - because of all-encompassing laziness, but especially when it comes to thinking."


The Berlin bike courier "El Niño #02" belongs to the courier service CROW, which specializes in replacing cars with environmentally friendly cargo bikes. CROW offers efficient cargo bike transport and the sale of reliable cargo bikes, thereby contributing to improving the quality of life in the city. The sustainable courier service also promotes a cooperative way of working. Information at crowberlin.de
