Gilles-William Goldnadel is a lawyer and essayist. Every week, he deciphers the news for FigaroVox. He publishes
Manual of resistance to far-left fascism
(New editions of Passy, 2021).
I subtitled my
“Media Neuroses”
, an essay I published with Plon in 2018,
“The world has become a raging mob”.
Taking up the theories of Le Bon and Freud, I maintained that the electronic media universe was maddening the debate by transforming it into an irrational universe of hatred.
The way Éric Zemmour has been treated since Saturday, concerning his statements on disabled children, does not cruelly contradict me.
I have sufficiently criticized, publicly, his excessive indulgence with regard to Vichy or his unfortunate declarations on the unfortunate Sandler children not to pass for one of his acquired thurifers, even less for a yes-yes-yes.
I will therefore situate myself solely on the terrain of the fight against unreason.
I will therefore recall that the candidate on the right had the misfortune on Friday, visiting a school in Hauts-de-Seine where he was presenting his program for education, to consider that handicapped pupils should be placed in specialized establishments,
“ except those who are obviously slightly handicapped, who can stay in the classes”.
This remark aimed to challenge a sacred egalitarianism, harmful to children in great difficulty.
"But for the rest, yes, the obsession with inclusion is a bad way for other children, and for those children, who, poor people, are completely overwhelmed by other children."

Who can, in good faith and reasonably, see in this statement, like any statement subject to free debate, a contempt for children in great difficulty?
The ban and backbench of the political class have had a blast shouting the magic word: Inclusion!
Inclusion !
Gilles-William Goldnadel
Many psychiatrists advocate placing autistic children in special schools where they can benefit from effective behavioral therapies.
This is also the opinion of associations of parents of these different children and by them so loved.
What have we barely witnessed these words uttered by the controversial "polemicist"? To a neurotic surge of hatred, passion and excommunication. The bans and the back bans of the political class have had a blast shouting the magic word: Inclusion! Inclusion !
In the press, the palm of intellectual dishonesty goes without question to
Liberation
which, recognizing
"that it was time to look reality in the face, and that the school is not always adapted to the handicap"
, modified on the Canvas the title of the same article which surreptitiously changed from
“Schooling of disabled students: what if Zemmour asked the real questions?”
... to the most conformist:
"Schooling of handicapped pupils: if the school fails, Zemmour derails" ...
It is true that today there is no good neurotic lynching without the obligatory recourse to anti-Nazism gone mad.
Gilles-William Goldnadel
We even found some electronic neurotics to reproach the media lynched for having had parents who had placed him in a Jewish school, therefore not inclusive.
Or another, a professional journalist, accusing him of preparing handicapped children the same fate as the Nazis reserved for them.
It is so true that today there is no good neurotic lynching without the obligatory recourse to anti-Nazism gone mad.
When the reason will be returned in a few days, one will be able to erect a new gibbet firing from another bad wood.
So I have just shown that the media world had become a raging crowd.
But in other ideological circumstances, it conversely produces a chained crowd, by way of media concealment.
In my "Handbook of Resistance to Far-Right Fascism", I have given some examples of events carefully concealed because they did not correspond to the ideological scheme drawn in advance.
Thus, on March 22, a mass massacre such as had not been perpetrated for two years in the United States was committed in Boulder (Colorado) and completely passed over in silence in France.

Ten people were murdered after a man opened fire in a large grocery store.
But the shooter was Syrian and his victims were all white.
Just compare that dead silence with the sound and fury that followed the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, after an “anti-racist” protester was run over by a truck driven by a white man nostalgic for secessionist Southerners. This event was commented on for several days and triggered millions of words.
We witnessed the same bad ideological remake this weekend. On Saturday night, an Islamist demanding the release of a Pakistani woman sentenced to death for terrorism took worshipers and a rabbi hostage at a Beth Israel synagogue in Texas. The terrorist was shot dead by the police. Not a word, not an image in a French audiovisual space usually quick to evoke this type of dramatic event against a background of racism. Thus, at 10 am, on Sunday morning during the complete and detailed news bulletin of the progressive and very anti-racist public radio France Inter, many subjects were mentioned: Taubira, Mélenchon, Trump, Djokovic etc. .. But not this one, yet unusual.
It's because for many months, Le Monde, Arte and other media have been trying to explain that in the United States, the only anti-Semites are the supremacists and not the necessarily nice Black Lives Matter or certain Muslims...

But it is that this one did not correspond to the diagram drawn in advance.
It's because for many months, Le Monde, Arte and other media have been trying to explain that in the United States, the only anti-Semites are the supremacists and not the necessarily nice "Black Lives Matter" or certain heated Muslims blank by the Democratic far left.
The media world is a raging crowd.
Except when she's chained up.
