ALADIN EL-MAFAALANI Misstrauensgemeinschaften – zur Anziehungskraft von Populismus und Verschwörungsideologien

In the organizer's words:

With his brand new book, our favorite guest Aladin El-Mafaalani provides a new explanation for the rise of populism and conspiracy ideologies.

For anyone who wants to understand why trust is becoming ever more important, but mistrust ever more likely, and what the consequences of major crises of trust are for society. In an increasingly complex society, we need to trust. Without trust in social systems and institutions, we become incapable of acting. To avoid becoming incapable of acting as a mistrustful person, there is a frightening alternative: trust those who also mistrust. And not on the basis of their competence or experience, but solely on the basis of shared mistrust. Communities of mistrust are created - a danger to social stability.

El-Mafaalani's razor-sharp analyses of the present always manage to dispel the clouds and provide a clear view of the state of our society.
