Can I complain about something? The Masoch café in Lviv and it's stupid statue makes me so mad. It is the sensationalization and dehumanization of his person materialised into a physical object. They are so thirsty for tourist money they made a statue of a dead person where you can feel it's genitals. He would have fucking HATED this, why are they so selfish. Imagine if they did this with any other person, I don't think that would be recieved quite well. He is not a person in the eyes of society, just a freak show to gawk at. Before I discovered Masoch there was still this false hope in me that believed in humanity but learning stuff about him was the final nail in the coffin for it. How he was trying to better this world but society who on one hand judged him for his fetish also didn't want to hear about ANYTHING else. How he naively believed that hatred comes from a lack of education, how he supported rural education and worked against antisemitism and all that stuff and nobody gave a f. He probably couldn't even have imagined the atrocities that happened only a few decades after his death. What he could not prevent despite his efforts. Because people are by nature rotten. I witness the future he didn't live to see and think, what unimaginable horrors are in the future from now? Humanity cannot be saved if it doesn't want to save itself. All I feel is disgust and misanthropy.

As far as our wide wonderful world goes, you are... you are... hmm, how do I say it nicely? I assume it is not exactly possible to put such thing nicely. Let's get to the point, you are dead. Morti, kaputt, et cetera et cetera. Capisci?
Happy birthday to my favourite dead person ever. Leopold, you taught me how to fully accept and appreciate the subjectivity of the human experience, and for that you and your work will always be dear to me. As long as I'm alive you will always be loved and remembered. Česť tvojej pamiatke.
