How do you face different opinions? Robert Campbell, August 20, 20:17

A problem that the exhibition of the International Art Festival was canceled in Aichi Prefecture. We made an article last week about a protest called “Denpo” that was discussed in this issue. This time, I spoke with Robert Campbell, a Japanese literary researcher who is also a “sender” and is facing other people with different opinions every day.

Mr. Campbell responded to his interview at his home in Tokyo. As the opening of the exhibition, which I had an invitation to, was canceled, I said “I am very sorry”.

“I can't really see what the exhibition is and what kind of context it is. It was appropriate to look quietly, confirm my position, accumulate various facts and exchange speech. However, threats were out of the question, and politicians or government officials should not be "waiting" for what has been published once, "Campbell In his SNS, he spelled, “People who sympathize with the content that should be spit should just discuss it loudly.”

“A place where 5 mm can be combined”

It is said that there were over 10,000 retweets from readers and many critical messages.

When asked, “How do you face those opinions?” He spoke frankly.

“My SNS has a lot of writing, and there are pros and cons. There are times when I think,“ What are you thinking about this guy? ”(Laughs) The words that lead the word are deleted and blocked, but the rest is free space.

It may be about 5 mm at least by showing a posture that does not block the voice of the other party, but I think it is important to have a place where you can fold together and have a “do” with one foot together. ''

"It's important to keep facing the facts

Then, when I asked again how to make a deal with someone with a different opinion, I answered, “I should once again review my values.”

“I feel that the power of hits increases, likes increase, and that power is getting stronger and stronger, so-called innovation and maintenance on both the right and left sides show off their respective positions and do not move. I refused to avoid talking about this exhibition, and this time, all the people who deny and sympathize with it as a thing to be spit are all passing each other and there is no dialogue. If you look at things that you think are common sense from a different angle of about 30 degrees, you might discover that it is not common sense. It ’s important to have a belief, but it ’s important to continue to face the facts that support that belief. ”

Mr. Campbell who spoke calmly from beginning to end. What do you think, everyone?
