For some time now, we have noticed in the media and in certain polemical works a frequent use of the notion of "moral panic": we will dare to question the precise meaning of this notion which has become fashionable.
Heretics is a political podcast that combines interviews and debates. This summer we will publish the shows from the first season here. Is it possible, today, to leave Islam? Hundreds of apostates testify to this, who have pulverized the identity assignment of relatives,
For over a year, the Hijabeuses collective has been attacking the French Football Federation to obtain the right to wear the hijab during competitions. The FFF has refused. The Hijabeuses have taken the case to the Council of State. In vain?
The Senate hearings on the "Marianne fund" affair are underway, and all the light has yet to be shed, but one point already invites us to ask ourselves: how could the government have thought, after the assassination of Samuel Paty, that the fight against Islamist radicalization could be limited to distributing a few million euros to associations, a fortiori without monitoring their use?

This is how multiculturalism has slipped into identitarian communitarianism, and how it is turning into totalitarianism before our eyes. Savage censorship is imposed by micro-collectives that only authorize themselves, in contempt of the law, while all-out politicization transforms activists into legislators and judges, in the name of "everything is political" dear to fascist militias, Stalinist apparatchiks and their leftist heirs.
