@ytzen @Strandjunker Ok, wait. We’re talking about different things. I’ll answer your American comment in a different post. Let me share a secret with you, from a Jewish person. Analogizing virtually anything to the Nazis is almost always deeply offensive because there are very few things in

@AlanFJr @Strandjunker Indeed I think we're talking about different things. I haven't mentioned a Republican Party (?) nor Nazis. The question, what to do when a democracy becomes authoritarian. The parallel is the Weimar Republik. It's what every lesson from our parents and teachers was about.

@AlanFJr @Strandjunker > I was born after the war, and my parents came well through the war (my father went in hiding, my mother had to flee their home which was subsequently bombed and burned). Everyone who raised or educated us had experienced that period and teached us about defending freedom.

@AlanFJr @Strandjunker > The lessons of 1932-33 were not about atrocities but about standing together, not giving in to authoritarians, maintaining law and democratic rule. Also that when a (potential) authoritarian ruler tests out boundaries, he or his successors may take that space eventually.

@ytzen @Strandjunker As to European-American relations, I understand completely that no hostility towards America is intended. I am an Atlanticist. But this is a “men are from mars, women are from Venus” situation. The U.S. has been trying to get Europe to take security seriously for actually well

@ytzen @Strandjunker This was the topic: “Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.” It’s deeply offensive. And you kept defending it.

@AlanFJr @Strandjunker I'm sorry, I've really not been aware of the offensive nature or intend. Actually, it's only now that I'm aware that you were offended by this. In how I was raised and all the conversations we're having about this topic it's never been about offending anyone.

@AlanFJr @Strandjunker It's my bedtime now, I'll rethink it in the morning. It's kind of a dilemma for me if these lessons are being felt as offensive for others. I'm taking this seriously.

VICTORY! WE DID IT! We texted 71,000 Western Wisconsin voters courting their votes for Brad Schimel. A new campaign is uploaded & we included red, rural counties across the entire state. You want it? Come and take it. CC: @EarlyVoteAction app

@ytzen Don’t put words in my mouth. Be accurate. I never said that. No one who voted for Trump has said that. You’re making accusations and trying to put everyone in your little perception.

@jc_limitless ??? What words have I put in your mouth or accusations made? You said "I don't recall seeing that", I said , "open your eyes". Never about anything you or any voter supposedly said (!?), only about us apparently seeing (!) things differently, not accusing you or anyone.

@jc_limitless (P.S. I never commented on your political opinions, I don't know what they are nor what you voted for, and I don't make assumptions. Only replied to you mentioning not seeing what someone else mentioned seeing. So apparently seeing things differently.)

@telegraaf Dit is weer het zoveelste voorbeeld dat deze Mevr. totaal niet geschikt is voor haar functie. Ze lijkt op Trump. "Ben je het niet eens met mijn beleid, krijg je lekker geen lintje ook al hebben de burgemeester en de provincie hier mee ingestemd". Serieus?

Trump’s proposed annexation of Greenland against the will of its people would violate international law, senior researcher in Arctic Security Ulrik Pram Gad says. #Trump #Greenland

Wie US-Medien berichten, gab es innerhalb der Trump-Regierung eine Diskussion, ob der Nationale Sicherheitsberater Mike Waltz nach der "Signalgate"-Affäre rund um einen Militärschlag in Jemen noch tragbar ist. https://t.co/St5OLLj8Cz

Isar Aerospace hat erstmals von europäischem Boden aus eine Weltraumrakete gestartet. Es gehe bei dem Testflug vor allem um Daten und Erfahrungen. https://t.co/UgT1x3ryOw

@ytzen @hetiseenbegin Je zult ook antwoord geven op punt 1. Nee, je zoekt het in punt 2. Deugerij zoals bij de COA verdient geen lintje, maar een onderzoek.

@Roald1976 Voordat een lintje toegekend wordt, vindt inderdaad uitgebreid onderzoek plaats.

The US Embassy in Myanmar has issued a statement saying the US government will provide up to $2m “through Myanmar-based humanitarian assistance organizations” to support communities affected by the earthquake. 🟠 LIVE updates: https://t.co/ZbIU1EFP25

Myanmar’s military government has continued to carry out attacks, even as Myanmar’s main rebel movement announced a unilateral partial ceasefire to aid rescue efforts following the devastating earthquake. 🟠 LIVE updates: https://t.co/ZbIU1EFP25

‘Hun werk staat haaks op mijn beleid’, zegt minister Faber over haar weigering om te tekenen voor een lintje voor mensen die zich hebben ingezet voor asielzoekers. Saillant detail: ministerie A&M zegt dat het partijpolitiek is en wil niets hierover zeggen. https://t.co/t5owOVaBAI

#US President Donald Trump says he will impose secondary tariffs of 25 percent to 50 percent on all Russian oil if he feels #Moscow is blocking his efforts to end the war in #Ukraine, and they could start within a month if there is no ceasefire. https://t.co/kPWYq9bXX5

Lintjes weigeren aan de medewerkers van je eigen dienst (COA), waar keihard gewerkt wordt, is bizar. Nou, eens kijken of we deze week problemen kunnen oplossen in Den Haag. Genoeg te doen. https://t.co/85cPcmRiqb

@locuta Een land met meer wapens dan mensen in een autocratie proberen te veranderen, daar kunnen ze zich best eens op verkijken. Volgens mij wordt het een steeds groter kruitvat met Trump als lont.

@locuta Zien de Amerikanen niet dat er een dictatuur ontstaat waar alleen trump aanhangers van gaan profiteren. Model Poetin!

@elonmusk The same playbook is being used against Elon Musk today. Back in 1943, Communist Party headquarters in the U.S. issued a directive that read: **“When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them—after suitable build-ups—as fascist, Nazi, or antisemitic. Use the

Russel Vought is volgens kenners de architect achter de zeer conservatieve plannen van de regering-Trump. Ook Vought heeft een sleutelpositie in het Witte Huis gekregen. #Nieuwsuur

First of all, there are no cuts to Medicaid, Social Security or other entitlements, unless stopping fraud is considered a “cut”. Second, organizing a campaign to call for the death of someone is illegal. The organizers and funders will be found and prosecuted.
