To reclaim democracy

POWER:Today's autocratic regimes have turned what was once a domestic policy into a foreign policy doctrine. Autocracy Inc. is brilliant and terrifying from Anne Applebaum.

RESISTANCE: We try to analyze President Trump as a late-capitalist fascist whose political program is based on racial exclusion, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and a vision of national rebirth. This in a country where more than 30 people are killed by firearms every year, an average of over 000 victims a day. But also: we see a return to political crime to suppress protests. This is the case everywhere today, but besides the US it is especially visible in Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, the Emirates and Iran.

POLITICAL: Denmark is now a member of the UN Security Council and must try to contribute to developing or re-establishing respect for the UN's mission. What does the book Liberating the United Nations say? And what about seeing ourselves as part of nature – with the mindsets, systems and objects we surround ourselves with today, it is difficult to understand, according to Jakob Jespersen.

MEDIA: Populists use the same stylistic devices: scandalization, incitement and imitation – something that politicians exploit. Press ethics, source criticism, thoroughness and transparency are difficult enough in the midst of today's media crossfire, which is characterized by haste and a weak economy.
