Zelf-pardonering, kent u die uitdrukking?

De misdadige fotocollage

Of: “Hooghartig, hooghartiger, Frits van Exter” Op 30 juli 2011 verscheen in het blaadje Vrij Nederland het meest weerzinwekkende Nederlandstalige artikel dat ik ooit gelezen heb in mijn best al lange leven. Het was geschreven door de VN-redacteuren Harm Botje en Freke Vuijst. Het orgaan waar ze in schreven was toen nog niet zieltogend. Zie… Continue reading Zelf-pardonering, kent u die uitdrukking?

It is organised in a considerable number of Dutch locations every year. My account… Continue reading Long walk & experiment involving transgenderism in passing

So an English translation could be useful for decent people in many other Western countries. It is mostly a translation but also slightly adapted for the international perspective and… Continue reading Antifa: hard core communists with a whiff of nihilism
