The pure air of creators now seems to be diminishing at the same rate as the Amazon rainforest. Today, everywhere in the world, "the pure air of creators seems to be diminishing at the same rate as the Amazon rainforest," notes Olivier Mannoni in his book published on Thursday, October 8, La Pensée piétinée: why fascism crushes culture (Editions Héloïse d'Ormesson), the last installment of a trilogy dedicated to uncovering "the fascist fumes of our time." #PenséePiétinée #Culture #ExtrêmeDroite (translated)

Mick van Wely wrote that his Dutch grandfather worked as an optician for the resistance in Leiden and took photos for forged documents. According to him, his father grew up with a strong aversion to Germans. When, as a five-year-old, he received an apple from a German soldier, he thanked him with a curse word for Germans, Van Wely said. His Hungarian mother, he said, grew up under communism, which he described as just as bad as fascism. Van Wely wrote that he had been raised at home with love for and respect for freedom. This, he said, explained why he sometimes reacted angrily when he saw that the carefully built Western lead and achievements, which had long been taken for granted, were coming under heavy pressure and were slowly being rolled back. #vrijheid #geschiedenis #verzet (translated)

She found that reaction justified, but she wondered where everyone was now. #Nederland #Hamas #Politiek (translated)

Vincent Lapierre stated that the exercise was more difficult than his critics on X thought. He mentioned a constant threat of violence and a strong reaction to a simple joke, which he believed forced him to proceed with caution. He also described the time needed to respond to what he considered fallacious arguments as considerable. According to him, Elwan did not address his comments on the differences between the RN and fascism, the resources allocated to suburb plans, the situation of suburban residents, the generosity of the French social system, or racial profiling, for which Lapierre claimed to rely on a study. He accused Elwan of staying in the rhetoric and bouncing from one topic to another. Lapierre clarified that he was not seeking to win the debate, but to gather testimonies without being attacked and to allow the audience to form their own opinion. He distinguished reporting from debating and claimed to be, to his knowledge, the only one who had given these high school students a voice without provoking confrontation. He believed that this tact explained why his reports were viewed beyond the right-wing Internet sphere. #Débat #Journalisme #Témoin (translated)
