Title: Die Staatsreligion
First published: 2000
Description: Human elites have converted the exception of living with roofs and walls to a norm and hence had been profiting thereof. Schulz Meinen refers to Stephen V. Boyden (1992), who has shown the issue of technoaddiction. The imprints of power and domination, but also between species, and how to overcome them, is the central issue of „Staatsreligion“ („State Religion. Human Rights against Area Protection.“ 2000). By promising and handing out shares of domination and power (f.e. over cattle, pets, and service people), the author states, is has been possible to convince almost everybody to obey the rules. „Human dignity“ and „Human Rights“ here are useful tools.
