This capital crime, invented by the Nazis, meant “negatively affecting the fighting forces.” Many people who expressed doubts about Germany winning the war or about Hitler’s leadership were summarily put to death by a firing squad at dawn’s first light. Or, at the very least, imprisoned for a very long time in a nasty place.
Wehrkraft (Warcraft) zersetzung is, to this day, a crime in every workplace in the world. Criticizing your own company – “mein got in heaven, but your own supervisor” – is justifiable cause for transfer, demotion, harassment-by-work-overload, and then if you don’t quit of your own accord, a pink slip.
Obama is an expert at zersetzing. He’s browbeating the media constantly, so harshly and so viciously that even Fox News gives him stellar coverage.
Tech support for computers or web hosting services or automobile repairs or anything that needs fixing – they love to put a zersetzing clause in the fine print so they can get rid of you when you criticize their workmanship or their quality of service – Achtung! You filed a report with the Better Business Bureau?
Nazis in the Fine Print
The sublime beauty of zersetzsing is that tech support can put in the fine print “terms and conditions” that you sign when you submit your work request. Then when you give them lip, they return your broken item – and keep your money!
“You agreed to the terms and conditions. You broke them. Bye.”
Lawyers love zersetzsing.
