Despite the fact that there have been several genocides in our time, there are many who really do not seem to be able to understand what the ethnic uprising really means and what paths take us there. I am surprised when I read a text by Thomas Gür, lead writer for the Bulletin, where he compares the currents of the 1930s with the impending 2030. He claims that it is now happening: “the same unknown requirements for mapping and recording based on ‘race’, ethnicity or religion and the same harmful requirements for ‘representation’ and different treatment. ” It refers to the struggle of marginalized groups to be seen and heard fairly, and the way Jews were treated during WWII. Why don’t we react more strongly to this kind of genocidal relativization?
25 years have passed since the Srebrenica genocide. During hot days in July 1995, 8,000 men and boys were shot and killed in the small Bosnian town. The questions that permeate the interpreter remain Aida’s mission in the current film “Quo vadis, Aida?” difficult to answer. Or there are simple answers: people are locked in hangars because they are Muslim. Mladic is admitted because the UN soldiers allowed him to. Men and boys go in another direction to be killed. But why? The evil and hatred that flow when a genocide or other war crime is committed cannot be explained.
But that does not mean that it is reasonable to attribute it to simplifications and to pretend that what the murderers do in an ethnic cleansing is to demand justice and representation, when in reality it is a bottomless hatred towards people who belong to a certain ethnic group. It’s hard for me to see that anyone really believes that callings like the Mitt SR or the Black lives matter movement are aimed at eradicating whites. What they are doing is recognizing that people are being treated differently because of their ethnicity and they want to counter that. What fascism does is treat people differently because of their ethnicity. The fact that both recognize the existence of the ethnic group is not dangerous.
I only see one explanation for Thomas Gür and others who reason like that, and that is that they are afraid of losing the power they have. Instead, their powerless peers fear that they will never get the power they deserve, because racists have persuaded the system that diversity is important. I understand that for everyone involved it creates a feeling of injustice and loss of control, but comparing parts of the struggle of marginalized people, where representation is an important tool, with what Jews were exposed during WWII is indecent and unique. It shows how little has been understood of what fascism is. This is despite the fact that he likes to use his rhetoric to convey his point of view.
