Let’s Talk About… Anti-Democratic, Anti-Queer, Misogynist, Antisemitic, Right-Wing Spaces and Their Counter-Movements

This involves resorting to strange, ideologically charged, twisted narratives that ignore differentiations, contradictions and historical events – fuelled by algorithms in favour of closed worldviews. With this issue, we want to look for some missing links in the history of cultural developments and hopefully show historical developments and contra­dictions, removed from the simplifying theory in which right- and left-wing tendencies are seen as being similar.
