在《Hidden Forces》第146集中,主持人Demetri Kofinas与公共知识分子、畅销书作者、艾美奖提名纪录片制作人Irshad Manji对话,讨论了如何在文化战争的氛围中,就政治敏感话题进行对话。Manji的新书《Don’t Label Me》旨在教育读者如何做到这一点。这次对话是播客史上最愉快、最诚实、最有意义的之一。

📖Irshad Manji的新书《Don’t Label Me》旨在教导读者如何就政治敏感话题进行对话,而不加剧文化战争。

🗣️当前的公共话语常常像是两种僵化观点之间的战斗和冲突,而真正的讨论则被视为在公众舆论法庭上审判对方的机会。

🌐在一个多元的民主社会中,保护价值观和自由,使我们能够展现个人身份,然而我们却被告诉要限制这些自由以保护身份。

🌟多样性已经成为一种集结号,但其倡导者仅从种族、性别和性取向的角度来谈论,而在观点、价值观和信仰上,对多样性的容忍却无处可寻。

🗽一个多元社会要求其公民有表达自己和信仰的自由,无需担心报复或谴责。那些试图压制我们的人不是自由的拥护者,而是伪装成受害者的暴君。

In Episode 146 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Irshad Manji, a public intellectual, best-selling author, and Emmy award nominated documentary filmmaker whose latest book “Don’t Label Me,” attempts to educate readers on how to have conversations about politically sensitive subjects without inflaming the culture wars. It should not surprise anyone to learn, therefore, that today’s conversation with Irshad is one of the most pleasant, honest, and meaningful that we have ever had on this podcast. 

Unlike this conversation, public discourse today often feels like a series of battles and skirmishes between two monolithic view points. Discussions likewise, are often seen as opportunities to try one another in the court of public opinion. If we accept that a pluralistic, democratic society is the best way to safeguard the values and freedoms that have allowed us to manifest our individual identities, then how can we be told that in order to protect those identities we should curtail the very freedoms that gave rise to them in the first place?

We are living through a very dark period in American life. Diversity has become a sort of “rallying cry” whose champions espouse exclusively in terms of race, gender, and sexual orientation. When it comes to opinions, values, and beliefs, tolerance for diversity of opinion is nowhere to be found. And yet, a pluralistic society demands that its citizens are granted the freedom to express themselves and their beliefs without fear or reprisal or condemnation. Those who seek to silence us therefore are not champions of liberty. They are tyrants masquerading as victims who seek to exercise power over the very people who they label as their oppressors.

Today’s conversation should serve (hopefully) as an inspiration for the types of discussions and free exchanges of ideas that we should all strive to have and which we need to have if we want to make it through this difficult period in our history.
