Meinungsfreiheit: Wer ist hier gekränkt? Oliver Nachtwey und Thea Dorn

In the organizer's words:

According to a survey conducted by the Allensbach Institute for Public Opinion Research and the media research institute Media Tenor, 44% of Germans currently feel that they have to be careful when expressing their opinions freely. There is a widespread feeling that they cannot speak openly about controversial topics such as migration and gender relations, pandemic policy and climate change, the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East without having to reckon with offended reactions, even shitstorms. However, this is countered by the objection that it is actually the other way around: the complaints about cancel culture and bans on speech are the offended reactions of those who fear for their privileges and therefore oppose social progress and the protection of minorities. So how justified is the concern about freedom of expression? Where is the line between a contentious and an unacceptable, even inhumane position? How much consideration must be given to the feelings and offenses of the participants in the debate? Philosopher Thea Dorn and sociologist Oliver Nachtwey (co-author of "Gekränkte Freiheit. Aspekte des libertären Autoritarismus") will talk about this.
