A decade long transatlantic panic about the civilizational threat of left-wing cancel culture and we now have an "anti-woke" censorship campaign taking out Plato at a major American university. Absolutely pathetic.

Wildt ist deutlich in seiner Aussage: Natürlich hat NS-Gewalt viel mit kolonialer Praxis zu tun. Er wird unterbrochen, als er migrantische Menschen & rassistische Diskriminierung und NS-Regime thematisiert. Offenbar mangelt es, an Wissen über die Geschichte von Schwarzen Menschen in DE - oder?

But if it’s wielding rather than challenging authority then it’s not really identity politics, is it? Playing politics with identity, for sure, but not identity politics (I will die on this hill)…

Und weil wir über Rechtsradikalismus und ethnische Säuberungen sprechen, ist es ebenso absurd, das als „Debatte“ zu verkaufen. Über Rassismus debattiert man nicht, weil die Rechte von rassifizierten Menschen nicht verhandelbar sind. Man leistet Widerstand.

Wer jetzt noch von „Stadtbild-Debatte“ spricht, übernimmt und normalisiert Merz‘ rechtsradikale Rhetorik. Das „Stadtbild“ ist ein Euphemismus für den Nazi-Traum einer „gesäuberten“ Volksgemeinschaft — für die Vertreibung von Menschen, die das ästhetische Empfinden von Rassist*innen stören.
