We Are the Faithful

The scene is the FC Basel stadium, the actors are the team supporters and the star is Tobias Haufner, their cheerleader. His task is to make them shout, and chant in unison in order to electrify the players and lead them to the victory. When all the fans sing together, they feel high, they feel as one, involving the spectators before their screens. Isn't that wonderful? But isn't this exhilaration a temporary loss of awareness as well, maybe the fist step to fascism?
