#NewspaperNLTabloidHaarlemsDagbladJoostPrinsen "We live in a scary time. I'm not talking about wars raging. Miserable enough, but wars are always raging. Humanity simply cannot do without it. I'm talking about an invisible power that, stronger than I've ever experienced, controls our actions.
Concrete example. De Volkskrant published a cartoon by Jos Collignon last week. We see two young men, dark-skinned, who, armed with the Moroccan flag, take off laughing on a moped. In their hand is the World Cup champion trophy that they snatched from Infantino, the president of FIFA. Moral of the picture: we did not become world champions, but we still take the cup.
The print is of course related to the riots that Moroccan youths started on Mercatorplein after earlier victories by the Moroccan national team.
Buzz on social media! 'Go and be ashamed,' tweets Farah-Silvana Kanaan of VPRO. Director Abdelkarim El Fassi: 'Forty million partying Moroccans all over the world, but Jos and de Volkskrant reduces them to thieves on a scooter.'
De Volkskrant has since removed the print from its website 'because this print stigmatises Moroccans in Morocco and in the diaspora'. Finally, the editors-in-chief regret that the cartoon was distributed on paper and online.
What a sadness. The rioting youths have been more stigmatising in the Netherlands in the past month than those forty million other Moroccans. And in any case, they have been in the news more often and that's what a cartoonist has to rely on. That sadness of not wanting to understand a cartoon in its context. Those big terms like 'Go and be ashamed' and 'The print stigmatises'.
Those weak knees of the Volkskrant (chief) editors to remove the print from the site under pressure from readers crying out. It can't be from their own conviction because then they wouldn't have placed him first. Sad everyone.
In the early 1980s, feminism in our country was at its peak. I once stood with a lady in a hotel waiting for the elevator. When it arrived, I said: 'Go ahead.' She snapped at me: "We've had that time!"
But that was only feminism. Now there seems to be a moral police that prescribes in every possible way what we can and cannot say. Race, skin colour, creed, gender. Anyone who does not watch his words or his drawings should be ashamed of himself. With the proposal to ban the word 'nigger', I wrote about that last week, as a provisional low point.
We are becoming a society that has more than caught up with the good 1950s in terms of 'that's the way it should be'. As if provo and flower power never existed.
That is scary, very scary." https://www.haarlemsdagblad.nl/cnt/dmf20221220_54265773

"In the dispute over the 'One Love' captain's armband, national football player Thomas Müller criticized FIFA and defended his teammates.
'Anyone who expects us footballers to completely leave our path as athletes and give up our sporting dreams, for which we have worked all our football life, in order to position ourselves even more politically, will be disappointed,' Müller wrote on Instagram Tuesday evening one day before the World Cup opener against Japan on Wednesday." https://www.nordsee-zeitung.de/Sport/Thomas-Mueller-Pfad-als-Sportler-nicht-komplett-verlassen-102094.html
