Climate catastrophe, wars, colonial crimes. Our present day knows someone to blame for all evils: the old white man. Media scientist Norbert Bolz strongly disagrees and, in a debate with Wolfram Eilenberger, sings the praises of traditionally "male" virtues. Topics in this episode: 00:00 Criticism of the old white man as a questioning of liberal modernity 11:07 The old white man and woke communication 34:12 How much polemic can communication tolerate? 46:51 How can a conservative today position themselves productively on climate change? ???? Subscribe now to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube ???? https://www.youtube.com/srfkultur?sub... Classically "male" virtues are not having an easy time at the moment. Especially not those associated with "old Europe" and its "white" elites. Because the global future should be above all female. Diverse. Empathetic. Consensus-oriented. For media scientist Norbert Bolz, this is a dangerous social one-way street. Instead of giving in to political correctness and woke cancel culture, he advocates preserving and protecting everything that the "old white man" really stands for. As a conservative publicist, Bolz even sees Western democracies and their universities as embroiled in a "cultural civil war" in which a hostility to technology and forgetfulness of tradition propagated by the left are endangering the foundations of our democratic systems. In a debate with Wolfram Eilenberger, Norbert Bolz sets out his vision of a coming conservatism, which he believes could be used to defend the open society - and to tackle the climate crisis.
