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.

(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...

(05d) PM Merkel is against Eurobonds - I agree to some extend

I'm having again Internet after almost a three months break. Finally, back to the world. Many European politicians (and certainly economists) want to introduce Eurobonds and as I understand it, the EU may take some (most, all?) of the debts of poorer European countries and spread it over Europe so that both strong and weak shoulders will carry the problems. Of course, it is only understandable that Europe wants to help countries that are in need (as it should do because they are members). But, as the German PM Angela Merkel (a woman who thinks differently than most men and wants other solutions then the usual ones), I am against spreading debts because it will weaken every country that take some of the debts (it is similar to banks using savings of people to pay off their debts so that when people want their money the banks can't give it anymore (I wonder whether rating agencies threat some countries well so those countries are prepared to take responsibilities to save count...

Buildup of Tensions in Societies Throughout the World

Image
We notice worldwide tensions are growing within societies. This is mainly as a result of growing inequality but also other factors are involved such as a virus and climate change that destroys crops so people start to migrate as essentials become rarer and thus more expensive compared with what people earn. The result is likely that increasingly people in places where the migrants move to will demand a closing of their borders. Let's discuss. Financial crisis 2008-2009 While inequality was growing as a result of what many people earned versus rising costs of products, this accelerated when the financial crisis was organised just over ten years ago. As a result, people lost work and many even their home such as in the USA so poverty increased although the rich became richer. But, while house prices dropped because many flats and houses became available, those with money were able to buy them cheaper and sell or rent them out to make money when property prices rose again. The problem...
