högercensurering

Högercensurering refers to the concept of censorship that is perceived to originate from right-wing political actors or ideologies. It is often discussed in contrast to or as a parallel phenomenon to censorship perceived to come from the left. The term is not universally accepted and can be contentious.

Arguments suggesting the existence of högercensurering often point to instances where individuals or groups with conservative or right-leaning views believe their speech or opinions are being suppressed. This can manifest in various ways, such as deplatforming from social media, boycotts of media outlets, pressure campaigns against artists or academics, or the perceived silencing of dissenting voices within right-wing movements. Critics of this concept sometimes argue that what is labeled as högercensurering is merely a consequence of public discourse, market forces, or the exercise of free speech by others, rather than deliberate suppression.

Conversely, those who identify with or support the idea of högercensurering may feel that a dominant liberal or progressive culture actively marginalizes or punishes conservative viewpoints. They might point to perceived biases in academia, media, or entertainment as evidence of this. The debate around högercensurering is often intertwined with broader discussions about freedom of speech, political polarization, and the role of different ideological groups in shaping public discourse and institutions. The term's usage can vary significantly depending on the political context and the specific concerns being raised by different groups.
