the Commemoration of the Holocaust occurs every year on the same day that the prisoners in the concentration camp in Auschwitz was liberated in 1945, on January 27. A day for all who combat intolerance, xenophobia, racism and anti-semitism to highlight this crime against humanity.
On this day, choose the activist Navid Modiri in the year to release a poddavsnitt where a central person within the Swedish extreme right, including questioning the Holocaust, during the one hour and 45 minutes will tell us about his worldview.
In principle, completely oemotsagd. An extremely elaborate provocation, according to today’s medielogik that also went home.
a few years ago when he, with the help of 130 people budade home a round of golf with Jimmie Åkesson in new york. He was curious of the person Jimmie and in interviews from the time, he speaks about the importance of ”listening soft to understand, not to be right.”
since Then much has happened and both he and the guests radicalized.
today, he runs the pod, ”How can we?”. The starting point for the talks is that in Sweden there is a freedom of expression and it is a recurring criticism of other media. In a recent live broadcast cheered the audience for quotes about how the public service deals with historierevision.
the Methodology that speaks to the power of, according to Modiri, is that in order to be able to change need to learn new things, and to be able to learn new things you need to understand, and to be able to understand, you need to listen in depth.
check on the Holocaust in the latest episode of ”How can we?” questioned the reasonableness of all who claim to have been koncentrationsfångar really been there, and the total number of people who died. This is commented on by Navid Modiri to the Holocaust ”is an incredibly sensitive area with a lot of grief and trauma embedded that, for many people and families still living, so I understand on an emotional plan, why it is so lättriggat. I understand that people get angry and upset for the challenges and shadings can be easily felt as avfärdanden and criticism.”
So the Holocaust survivor is lättriggade?
And how it was now – would not these talks lead to that you learned something? Or is it perhaps so that is the only one whose development is obvious is Navid Modiris own?
Several times during the call, use the Navid Modiri the word ”nuance” to describe the denial of our common history as presented by poddgästen and he concludes by saying that ”I can imagine that it is damn difficult to determine also exactly how many and what it was that happened.”
And what are the consequences of mjäka with the stress received in the description given? The answer is a normalisation of extreme views. Navid Modiri trivialize, by inaction, the Holocaust, and to let extreme views appear to be completely legitimate.
Madness is met with pliable hummanden and ends in a delight to have the courage to face any who dare to approach subjects that are taboo.
And how was it – would not these talks lead to that you learned something? Or is it perhaps so that is the only one whose development is obvious is Navid Modiris own?
see how fast it goes when you want to give it obscure and extreme air online because it brings traffic, engagement and a stream of money.
And there will be a lot of examples, libraries that invite nazis to ”discuss”, the municipalities that grants fitness for the nazis to practice melee with the knife to not see that the boundaries are displaced.
the freedom of speech in Sweden has never felt better – but the conditions for democratic conversation is threatened.
day of remembrance for the Holocaust to promise each other to listen more attentively to the voices that still remember and not be sucked into the högerextremismens undergrowth.
It is not the most extreme voices who need more platforms today. But, on the contrary.
