I am talking about negationism. Is that okay?
Basically, there are two opposing theories in this kind of debate. There are those who defend freedom of expression, those who say that you cannot impose an official historical truth. Then, there are those who take the side of the victim.
For example, suppose I am attacked, beaten or raped by thugs. I go to court and have them convicted. Then, the thugs or their friends start saying that I made it all up, that what happened to me never happened. When they do that, they increase my pain and suffering a lot. The first thing that someone who has suffered so much pain or such a great injustice needs, after all, is the recognition that he has been wronged.
This is the debate between those who say that you cannot impose an official historical truth—people have the right to believe the version of history that they want to believe—and those who take the side of the victims.
What is your position? How do you see that question yourself?
