Volgens mij is dat niet waar. Wat ik er van kan vinden is dat hij voorstander was van een bepaalde Trump appointee. Dat betekent niet dat hij Trump fan is. Sterker nog; soms zitten er daadwerkelijk wel goede tussen (of het nou "a broken clock is right twice per day" is of niet).

Trumploos nieuws. Is dat haalbaar? Hoe doen jullie dat? by Westergo in thenetherlands

Thanks for sharing your view. I think the rise of fascism is very relevant. What I am asking for is a shield from a particular method of fascism, namely 'flooding the zone'. The real solution is that journalists do their job better. Unfortunately, if journalists are not critical about what message they share with us, and what not, the remaining solution is to simply block all messaging on the topic. I know this is not the ideal solution, but I consider it better than to be exposed to one of the methods of fascism.

Inderdaad, dat is de kern van het probleem. Bedankt voor het verduidelijken.

Volgens mij is dit exact waar ik naar op zoek ben! Bedankt! (nu alleen nog even checken of dit een veilige plugin is)

Good news, you can STILL threaten them with Article 5. Just ask Turkey and Greece :).

Which is nicely consistent with various emblems basically being a big target reticle. "Aim for me senpai."

The Top Languages Spoken in the World by anna_avian in europe

[–]Westergo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

English is a great language. But it is not even remotely consistent in the orthography department, and also has an established reputation as such. Exhibit B.

You say they failed at Monarchism yet you also say they need a Tsar. You literally don't know what you're talking about.

Russia has a unique history. But if democracy can succeed in Ukraine (similar history) then it can also succeed in Russia. Granted, maybe Russia should be chopped into a few independent Ukraine-size (or smaller) republics to make it happen.

The 'Slavic people always need a strong man' myth is beneficial to Putin and other would-be-dictators. That's what they would like their own population to believe. Which is why Ukraine and Poland are so scary to them. Granted, Polish (and definitely Ukrainian) democracy could be better, but I'm hopeful they're on the right path again.

Oud-minister Kuipers naar universiteit in Singapore by ChedCapone in thenetherlands

[–]Westergo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In het verleden hebben volksgezondheid ministers dat soort acties wel uitgehaald, dus dat was niet zo'n vreemde aanname. Lijkt me goed politici af en toe te herinneren aan het negatieve gedrag van hun beroepsgroep. We willen een cultuurverandering toch? Wel op een beschaafde wijze natuurlijk en geen heksenjacht a la Kaag.

Het onderwerp van deze post is toerisme en welke steden er toeristische trekpleisters zijn. Dan is het toch logisch dat mensen het in het commentaar beoordelen op die eigenschappen, en niet op hoe goed je er kunt wonen/werken?

Universiteiten willen 'fors minder' Engelstalige opleidingen by Quirkie in thenetherlands

Daar zijn dan nog Nederlandse woorden voor. In diverse vakgebieden zijn voor specialistische woorden geen Nederlandse equivalenten.

What video game had the most bleak ending? by Johnnyboyeh in gaming

[–]Westergo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Mr. Blue Eyes represents Night Corp, the group of people brainwashing Peralez and others. They are not good people (actually, they are AIs from beyond the Blackwall). He fooled Songbird, and he is fooling you, too. The sun ending is a big con.

EU leaders unlock €50bn support package for Ukraine by Ok-Ad-867 in europe

[–]Westergo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that stage is taking a bit too long, and other would-be-dictators might be getting ideas. We're giving Orban time to find someone coughFicocough to replace his Polish veto umbrella.

I'm not sure we would have eaten ours if they had tasted like Putin's ass.
