Extreme right is not an answer as it kills

Christchurch attack: suspect had white-supremacist symbols on weapons

For all those who think that extreme right is the solution, think again. New Zealand, a country without Muslim terrorism, still a mad white extremist (and some helpers) killed at least 49 Muslims who were praying in a mosque. The same happened a few years ago in Norway where another mad guy, it seems an inspiration for this one, killed many youngsters who wanted to discuss how to improve a multicultural society.

Yes, there are Muslims who cause troubles and kill and not a normal person says we should not yet rid of those individuals. Still, these persons did exactly the same as those other terrorists they despise: they kill innocent people. These people use violence in the hope violence will return. They are the same type of people who hate others, even without being hurt by them. Yes, worldwide people suffer from Muslim extremists and thus people become angry, but in New Zealand, no-one suffered until this white person killed. Extremists of whatever religion hate others, often because they think they are better than the rest, i.e. people from other religions, LGBTs while they also condemn equality between men and women and claim men are suppressed. Of course, Muslim terrorists are to blame for growing anti-Muslim sentiment, but also extreme right who always blamed others, whether righteous or not. And thus, no, not a "thank you" to that person because now we must hope there will be not someone else who wants revenge.

But one good side-effect: politicians are saying that hate messages should be more severely punished; I think an educational message should be posted why the content is no longer available: because it spreads hate. Indeed, such a message should explain why the content is only partially available. Indeed, partially available because then people can read the content as well as the explanation why most of the content is not readable so people are educated that insulting others is not done. I agree, freedom of speech doesn't equal freedom to insult and hate. But, removing the videos should not result in deletion of evidence.

(12z) Don't blame animals for the climate crisis

Image
In today's society, many people comment how animals are a main contributor to climate change. However, we should stop blaming animals for the production of too much methane as they are victims because of the industrialised meat industry and habitat loss due to human activities, and thus the resulting climate change. Animals release methane, but are not responsible for climate change As usual, nowadays many people in comments under articles about climate change accuse animals that they produce too much methane and, although animals release methane (a potent greenhouse gas), humans are mainly to blame as we pack animals together so locally animals produce high levels of methane. Therefore, we should condemn the practice of today's meat industry, an industry whereby animals are considered to be things that are locked up with too many animals in cages that are too small so animals can't move. Therefore, they are given antibiotics to prevent they become ill and thus to prev

(18l) Belgium, king Leopold II and Congo

Image
Leopold II in Congo Belgium has a terrible human rights track record because of its second king Leopold II (1835 - 1909) during whose reign millions of people in Congo died. People may say he is not personally responsible but the same can be said of Hitler. However, Leopold II could have ruled only Belgium but this he considered too small and thus he lobbied to gain Congo for himself and succeeded on the condition he would treat its people correct, something he refused to do from day one. Therefore, he is responsible as he actively searched for this expansion to enrich himself so he could enlarge his own glory in his kingdom Belgium with neglect of his "subjects" in Congo. And people in those days had already a conscience because the king had to replace the first ambassador who refused to collaborate to expand the king's personal property.   To have an impression of the terror Leopold ii allowed in Congo is a picture in this article that shows a black father who l

Extreme left joins extreme right over Ukraine. Hard to understand

Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov analyses 2023's Russia Russia's Nobel-winning journalist Dmitry Muratov, whose newspaper was closed by the authorities, speaks about Russia's war in Ukraine . Does president Putin have a support base he asks? He answers himself: an enormous one of mainly elderly people who see Putin as their own grandson as they are pleased he wishes them each year "Happy New Year". Many of those elderly wouldn't mind sending their real grandchildren to die for Putin. In contrast, many younger people oppose the war against Ukraine, and many of them are now even imprisoned. So, he hopes the future of Russia will be different.  But yes, while Russian propaganda tries to convince Russians that even nuclear war may be something positive, there are also people in the West who create their own propaganda to justify their support for Russia, and condemn Ukraine because it wants to remain a free democracy, and therefore opposes Russia's invasion.
