  • Sorry, I misread your comment as saying you were in the UK. That’s on me, you didn’t formulate it badly.

    I do think that Erdogan’s reelection is worse for Turkey than Brexit is for the UK. And I think the latter is fucked up.

    Still, I truly believe that a lot of people that voted against their own interest are victims of themselves and the lies they were fed. But I’m definitely too soft hearted and naive at times.

    Like you said, I’m an outsider and didn’t mean to imply to mandate who you should have sympathy for.



  • Anyone burning down schools to “protect the children” should take a very hard look at themselves. I hope they catch the people responsible quickly.

    I do fear that this will cause some more islamophobia here (and we already have plenty). The problem isn’t religion per se, it’s misinformation. People believe that this program would cause teachers to teach kids how to masturbate, which is obviously ridiculous.

    Unfortunately, fake news is more common in certain groups. One of those groups is muslims. It’s the same reason why vaccination rates are much lower among them.

    It’s a problem that runs very deeply and is a consequence of a failed integration approach.









  • The Netherlands exports an enormous amount of meat currently. It’s the largest exporter of meat of any EU country. They export 60% of the meat they produce. So yeah, they would be fine.

    The Netherlands is currently really suffering from nitrogen pollution, in a big part because of the meat industry. So it would also be a great improvement for the environment to reduce the meat production.

    Having such a big part of the European meat production localized in one of the most populated regions in the EU is just a recipe for disaster.
