Interpretation
The song lyrics 'Dummheit kann man nicht verbieten' by
Dritte Wahl deal with the theme of stupidity and how to deal with it. The text criticizes the fact that the problems of racism and the brown flu in Germany have been silenced and ignored for a long time. It shows that violence against people of color is not acceptable and harms Germany.
It is pointed out that stupidity cannot be prohibited, but something can still be done about it. Education is mentioned as a means against stupidity. The stupid are often immune to bans, so it is important to focus on education.
The text also addresses extremism, both left and right. It is pointed out that for a long time there was no need to take action against the right, while the left was immediately condemned. It is emphasized that extremism that violates the constitution should be banned. But those who have revived the old right-wing germs now want to ban the ghosts they themselves have called forth.
It is criticized that those who spread stupidity are getting longer and longer, but fewer and fewer people fall for their deceptions. The stupid catchers are waiting for a 'big catch', stupid people, but there are fewer and fewer.
Overall, the song lyrics show that stupidity cannot simply be banned, but that education is a means to fight against it. Bans alone are not enough to reach the stupid. It is important for people to become aware and engage in the fight against stupidity and extremism.
