I Auschwitz, en plats av outhärdlig brutalitet och död, tvingades kvinnliga fångar spela musik för att skapa ordning och lugn när arbetskolonner marscherade och vid ankomster som ofta slutade i gaskamrarna. I den nya boken The Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz: a Story of Survival (2025) berättar Anne Sebba, journalist och levnadstecknare, om den paradoxala roll som orkestern spelade i lägret: en orkester vars uppgift var att ackompanjera nazisternas folkmordsmaskineri, men vars musik samtidigt erbjöd ett slags mänsklig tröst och mental tillflykt mitt i helvetet.I detta avsnitt diskuterar Anna-Karin och Ivar detta, och mer specifikt dirigenten Alma Rosé, den kompromisslösa perfektionisten som styrde orkestern med järnhand – men som också räddade liv genom sin stränghet och krav på musikalisk kvalitet. Hur såg den moraliska bördan ut för dessa musiker, som dagligen tvingades spela i nazisternas groteska föreställning, samtidigt som de själva kämpade för överlevnad? Var de privilegierade överlevare eller offer som utnyttjades och förnedrades?Det handlar också om musikens kraft och skönhetens omoraliska dimensioner, skuldens djupa sår hos överlevarna, och varför orkesterns berättelse fortfarande provocerar och berör.Prenumerera på eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.

Dagens gäst är Johan Tralau, som är professor i statskunskap vid Uppsala universitet. Samtalet äger rum mitt i Uppsalas akademiska hjärta, samma miljö som i Tralaus deckare Höken sjunger om död (Polaris 2023) och Ormens öga (Polaris 2025), där han förvandlar universitetet till en plats som känns både hemtam och olycksbådande. Vi börjar med mordet vid fontänen nedanför Uppsala slott, där doktoranden Kim Nyman dränks en stilla vårnatt, och talar om det mystiska “Ulvaförbundet” – ett hemligt sällskap med dunkla motiv och uråldriga traditioner. Vad är det med universitetets historia och akademiska prestige som gör det så lämpligt för intriger, våld och myter? Och varför fascineras medierna så gärna av dessa hemlighetsfulla kretsar?Vi fördjupar oss också i Tralaus idéhistoriska verk – från Myten om tidens början (Ellerströms 2024), där han utforskar hur världen enligt myterna startar med Kronos kastrationshugg mot Uranos, till böckerna Monstret i mig (2015), Havets väldiga ryggar: offret och de flytande bildernas gåta (Ellerströms 2018) Draksådd: den grekiska tragedin som politiskt tänkande (2010). Varför uppstår världen så ofta genom brutala våldshandlingar i antika skapelseberättelser, från Greklands Uranos till nordiska Ymir och indiska Purusha? Och varför fortsätter monstren att fascinera och skrämma oss – vad avslöjar dessa gränsvarelser egentligen om människans dolda längtan efter det förbjudna och kaotiska?Prenumerera på eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.

Ivar har snöat in på människans självdomestisering, alltså processen där vi under tusentals år gradvis blivit snällare, svagare och skörare – precis som tamdjur. Men har vi verkligen tjänat på att minska vår styrka, robusthet och reaktiva aggression, och ersätta det med social anpassningsförmåga, planerat våld och civiliserad svaghet? Podden reder ut varför människan kanske blev sämre när hon blev bättre – och varför vi idag kanske borde gå ut i skogen och lyfta något tungt istället.Anna-Karin tar med oss på en rörande resa om döden och konsten att förbereda sig på den. I en dokumentär får vi möta Gunnar Jönsson, bysnickaren från Småland som bygger sin egen likkista – och sedan fortsätter med kistor åt resten av familjen. Ivar och Anna-Karin diskuterar varför den här typen av omsorg inför döden känns ovanlig i en tid där trenden går mot anonyma minneslundar och så kallade "direktare", där man begravs utan ceremoni. Hur påverkar det oss levande att vi inte längre tar farväl av våra döda med värdighet?Kom och lyssna på Ivar i Göteborg den 9 juni!Bör vi lägga ned integration som politiskt mål? Tankesmedjan OIKOS har bjudit in mig för att tala om just det i Göteborg den 9 juni kl. 18.30, på GTS konferens & festvåning. Jag kommer att hålla ett anförande, följt av ett panelsamtal och frågestund.På scen med mig:* Peter Esaiasson, statsvetare och författare till ”Förorten: ett samhällsvetenskapligt reportage”* Andreas Johansson Heinö, statsvetare, författare och förlagschef på TimbroModerator är Arvid Hallén från Oikos.Ämnet är som sagt integration, som ju länge varit ett politiskt honnörsord. Men vad betyder det egentligen idag? Sverigedemokraterna har gått från att mest prata om assimilation till att mer fokusera på återvandring, medan Socialdemokraterna svängt tillbaka från multikulturalism och åter talar om assimilation – trots att de för några år sedan ansåg att ett jobb var lösningen på allt.Fortfarande beskrivs integration ofta som en tvåvägsprocess. Men räcker det för att hantera segregation och konsekvenserna av den snabba demografiska förändringen?Frågor vi tar upp under kvällen:* Vad menar vi med integration idag?* Vad vill de olika partierna uppnå med integrationspolitiken?* Är det realistiskt att ha integration som politiskt mål?* Vad händer om vi ger upp integration som mål?Kvällen avslutas med mingel.

Why do domesticated animals develop white fur? Why do they get floppy ears? My German shepherd excluded. Surprisingly, these seemingly random traits are common indicators of domestication and friendliness. But how does this relate to us humans?Today I'm speaking with Richard Wrangham, a distinguished primatologist and professor at Harvard University, whose influential research has deeply reshaped our understanding of human evolution. Wrangham has popularized the intriguing concept of “self-domestication” through extensive academic work and especially his acclaimed book, The Goodness Paradox: The Strange Relationship Between Virtue and Violence in Human Evolution (Profile books 2019).According to Wrangham, self-domestication is an evolutionary process where humans gradually evolved by selecting against impulsive aggression, making us more cooperative, social, and even influencing our moral decisions. Yet, paradoxically, he explains that this increased peacefulness coexists with an undiminished capacity for carefully planned violence, like warfare. We are, he argues, remarkably peaceful in daily interactions, yet simultaneously capable of organizing lethal aggression on a massive scale.In our conversation, we delve into what self-domestication truly involves, what bonobos and chimpanzees reveal about our behavior, and why understanding both reactive and proactive aggression is crucial today. Wrangham challenges many common assumptions about human nature, offering insightful explanations for both the peaceful cooperation and conflict seen in our societies.This discussion matters because it encourages us to reconsider our assumptions about what it means to be human, providing deeper insights into our past, our current social dynamics, and potentially, our future.Prenumerera eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.

När Märta Stenevi gjorde snabb karriär och blev språkrör för Miljöpartiet hamnade hon snart i en storm av anonyma anklagelser om toxisk ledarstil. I sin nya bok – Andas. Överlev (Forum) – beskriver hon ett kafkaartat drama där ingen vågar tala klarspråk, alla undviker ansvar och där anklagelserna aldrig blir tydliga nog att bemöta. Hon skildrar en tid av personlig kris med ätstörningar, depression och självmordstankar. Men vad innebär det egentligen när en stark politiker väljer att framhäva sin egen sårbarhet på det här sättet?I dagens Under all kritik pratar Anna-Karin och Ivar om Miljöpartiets paradoxalt ”platta” organisation – där ledarskapet inte existerar på pappret men maktspelet ständigt pågår bakom kulisserna. Är sådana organisationer dömda att skapa giftiga miljöer där konflikter aldrig kan lösas öppet? De funderar också över varför Stenevi väljer att återvända till riksdagen efter sin sjukskrivning – handlar det om revansch, personlig upprättelse eller ett försök att tämja sina inre demoner?Ett avsnitt om politikens giftiga maktspel, tystnadskulturer och varför politiken kanske inte är rätt arena för terapeutiska självförverkliganden.Prenumerera på eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.

När Tobias Thyberg utsågs till ny nationell säkerhetsrådgivare hann han inte ens hälsa på vakterna vid entrén innan blev av med jobbet. Skälet? Sex bilder på hans nakna bringa från dejtingsidan Grindr och – håll i pussyhatten – en bild av hans kön. Av allt att döma skickad privat, för ungefär sju år sedan. Vi diskuterar hur märkligt det är att en sådan bild kan ses som ett säkerhetsproblem i dagens värld. Thyberg är öppet homosexuell och lever med en man. Det är inte som att hans läggning är en hemlighet som kan användas som kompromat. Borde inte Ulf Kristersson snarare ha slagit fast att detta visar att Thyberg är en nationell säkerhetsrådgivare med precis det storkukslugn som krävs i världspolitiken?Från diskussionen om penisbilder till frågan om könets vara eller icke vara. Den nya könstillhörighetslagen, som träder i kraft den 1 juli 2025, diskuteras ingående. Juridiskt kön blir nu en fråga om självbestämmande från 16 års ålder utan krav på diagnos eller medicinska ingrepp. Vad betyder det för fängelser, kvinnojourer och andra könssegregerade utrymmen? I podden jämför Anna-Karin och Ivar den svenska reformen med den brittiska modellen, där högsta domstolen nyligen slagit fast att diskrimineringslagen baseras på biologiskt kön.Under all kritik är tillbaka med ett avsnitt där skillnaden mellan att vara “bögig” och att vara homosexuell också avhandlas, och där politikens feghet ställs mot könets komplexitet. Och som vanligt slår Anna-Karin Wyndhamn och Ivar Arpi både näven och handväskan i bordet.Prenumerera på eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.

I veckans avsnitt pratar Anna-Karin och Ivar om regeringens besked att en ny utredning om akademisk frihet ska tillsättas – och vad det egentligen är som hotar den. Är det staten, universitetsledningarna eller trycket inifrån lärosätena själva?Vi går igenom Johan Perssons presskonferens, genussekretariatets enkätundersökning och hur siffror om hat och hot snabbt får eget liv i debatten – trots låg svarsfrekvens och varningar om metodproblem. Samtidigt verkar minnet kort: vad hände med den tidigare kritiken mot jämställdhetsintegrering, obligatoriska perspektiv och ideologiska styrsignaler i forskningspolitiken?Och så handlar det om USA. Trumps hårdföra universitetspolitik används nu som varnande exempel – men också som bekvämt alibi för att ignorera eller tysta den kritik mot ideologisk styrning som många lyft. Vad betyder egentligen akademisk frihet när alla gör anspråk på den?Prenumerera på eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.

Send us a textStronger Together: Unlocking the Power of Collective Fundraising
Britain's free speech crisis is deepening. Police are knocking on doors over online opinions, and laws meant to target hate speech are being used to silence dissent. When Elon Musk highlighted the UK's grooming gang scandals, the media attacked him rather than the perpetrators or the people in power who neglected it.Tom Slater, editor of Spiked Online, joins me to break down how Britain is sleepwalking into censorship. We discuss the rise of authoritarian speech restrictions, how woke culture shapes media and politics, and why merely mentioning the background of grooming gang offenders is now politically dangerous.We also dive into Slater's viral Cambridge Union speech, where he dismantled claims that Trump is a 21st-century fascist. Is labeling populists as fascists a way to shut down debate? And what does this say about the political elite's fear of ordinary voters?Prenumerera eller stötta Rak högerI takt med att fler blir betalande prenumeranter har Rak höger kunnat expandera med fler skribenter och mer innehåll.
