Utrecht, 9 september: een onvermijdelijke confrontatie?

Icoon Kellie-Jay Keen: een voorbeeld van kalmte en flexibiliteit. De foto is van een paar tellen nadat ze -in Nieuw Zeeland- was aangevallen omdat ze zich uitsprak als vrouw.

Ongewenste polarisatie? Het onderwerp transgenderisme leent zich voor ongewenste polarisatie.Het leent zich echter ook voor het scheppen van alleszins wenselijke duidelijkheid.  Het hanteren van het bijzondere scheldwoord “TERF” (Google of DuckDuck aub zelf wat met dat als  zoekterm) is een voorbeeld van ongewenste polarisatie.  Een iets sterker voorbeeld is het gebruik van de term ‘transfobie’… Continue reading Utrecht, 9 september: een onvermijdelijke confrontatie?

Boomers and communist- versus history- bubbles

Boomer is a strange word. According to the Oxford dictionary (for example) it has two different meanings. Very different meanings. Especially the so-called ‘disambiguation’ page of ‘Boomer’ in Wikipedia is an illustration of why that medium has such a bad name.

The Poison Cup and Der Neue Untermensch

Only a small fraction of scientists and medical practitioners worldwide in recent years resisted the unfolding circus of lies surrounding SARS_CoV_2 the lab leak and the actually extremely experimental mRNA vaccins.  In many countries, these heroes showed their backbones of steel despite almost unlimited hate campaigns against them by spineless colleagues, extremely stupid or -more… Continue reading SARS_CoV_2 & ‘der neue Untermensch’

German chancellor receives Kalergi Prize from the hands of some Liechtenstein aristocrat

Among other things this text is about the history and present day importance of the highly acclaimed insanely insane count Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi. This count produced absurdly racist texts, yet an award named after him has been handed to numerous presidents and prime ministers (and one violinist). It is preferably presented by men of nobility.… Continue reading Starting ‘history’ at date of your own birth or foundation
