Riesige demo zu machen und Mulltonnen zu verbrennen? Wenn sie auch einfach im Bar ein Bier trinken könnten? Und solche "Journalist/innen" nennen so ein Denkwerk "Logik"? "Objektive reporting"? SRSLY? Immer dasselbe Scheissargument: "Die Leute können nicht selber denken" "Die haben keine Grund"

Danke für den link und das Artikel. Ich verstehe manchmal nicht, wie Leute, die "Journalist/in" als Beruf haben, sagen können "Die student/innen wollen einfach nicht in die Schule gehen" Dude, wenn Schüler nicht in die Schule gehen wollen, dann gehen die einfach nicht? Es gibt keine Grund eine 1/2

Kijk, reactie Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken België laat niets aan duidelijkheid over. Een voorbeeld voor het Nederlandse statement dat ik - hoe zal ik dat diplomatiek zeggen - hopeloos ondermaats vind. Géén verwerping maar ‘betreuren’ en ‘dialoog’. 🤷‍♂️

Habitat loss is the biggest threat to the world’s wildlife. Nearly all habitat loss is driven by the expansion of agriculture: we chop down forests and convert wild grasslands into farmland to grow crops and raise livestock.

That is a bacteria. We have antibiotica now. (And bacteriophagi) So either they do not have antibiotics in that Lab or Irkutsk (which is hard to believe) or.. it is not a bacteria - and therefore not the pest, but what is it then, that kills one in two days?

There was even a case where a raped 12 year old (TWELVE!) was told she did not fight back therefore wanted it. Ever since 2011 I am LIVID. Contrast this case to the many rape cases where women are the victim and you'll see what I mean. The shame MUST CHANGE SIDES. Thanks for reading my rant. /end

In the stand, this principle is not applied. When a woman is, it is applied on EVERYTHING, ad nauseam. In other words: women are always framed. At the root of this is a deep seated idea that women want sex: always, everywhere, with anyone. They are all sluts. That is the toxic idea 7/8

In court, the victim was never asked what they wore. Why they got drunk. It was also never said that, because the victim was drunk, the fact they did not want it could not be provemn without a doubt (something that often happens in rape cases. You were drunk? Then you might have wanted it 3/8

The victim had been talking and laughing offered to bring them home. Then brought them to a park instead,raped them and left them there. In the courtroom, the jury needed five minutes to come to a verdict: the rapists were guilty. They got YEARS in prison without probation. 2/8

General healthcare is exactly that: general healthcare. By making it conditional, you undermine that philosophy (and you open the door to the question who decides who may get which treatment? On what grounds? If you want to read more on that, you can start with Hannah Arendt's work)
