Peter Kurrild-Klitgaard: Lad os ikke trivialisere fascisme og nazisme
Læs mere her.

Det fyger gennem den politiske debat med anklager om, at politiske modstandere er »fascistiske« eller endog »nazistiske«.
Men anklagerne kan blive så løsagtige, at de udvander og trivialiserer begreberne.
Min klumme i @berlingske.bsky.social om det.

Så er der gammel vin på nye flasker. TV2 vil endnu engang koge suppe på gamle historier om Herlufsholm. Sidste gang førte til chikane, trusler og overfald på elever fra skolen. Hvorfor er det okay? Det er børn det går udover.

Hvis man udhuler domstolenes mulighed for "judicial review", undergraver man retssikkerheden--og det kan bide én bag i den dag, man ikke længere har den politiske magt. Min fredagsklumme i Berlingske om det.

Igen igen pynter Macron sig med lånte fjer. Nu siger han åbenbart, at Rusland intet har at skulle have sagt ang. europæiske tropper i Ukraine. I teorien er det rigtigt, men i praksis er det forkert, fordi hverken Macron eller andre regeringsledere er parate til at sende tropper uden russisk accept.
