So his defense is that the complaints come from far right people? Is he really arguing that his political opponents are not protected by the same laws as others?

Why though? Who would benefit and how?

@winstonsmith7801 Do you speak Dutch? Because I do, and I watched the initial press conference, the debate with the mayor and city council, and this interview in which she reflected.

Where I live lots of people opened their homes for Ukrainian refugees. If you do not have an actual private room for them the government won't even allow it. It isn't as simple as just giving them a place to sleep. You can't just drop often traumatized human beings in a random family's home in a country they do not know with a language they barely speak and expect that to go well.

It's subjective of course, but that doesn't mean there is no difference between being sincere or not. The hosts here pretending not be aware of that, for example, does not seem sincere in the slightest.

@Kayuu7 Police here is getting fed up with climate protesters here in general. I can't really blame them. Nothing wrong with protesting, but they do it every damn week it seems, and every time it costs a ton of time for the police that they could better spend on other things. What they did is a wrist lock. It's harmless, but it hurts like hell unless you cave in and follow their movement. It's to make people walk basically, because these climate crazies just play dead when they get arrested and the police spends hours dragging and carrying them otherwise.

That's what usually happens at protests. There's too many people to take in police vehicles, so they use buses. Usually they don't even go to the police station. They just unload the bus somewhere and then go back to pick up more people.

So Peterson went from expert on English pronouns to expert in international military conflict? GTFO. Give me one good reason why I should listen to him on this subject.

@gepettosplaylists That is normal. I live here. I've seen and been to demonstrations here many times. Sometimes those people get a fine, but mostly the police is just removing them from the scene. They are driven to some other place in the city and just let go.

@innova1335 The police here and in the US are really no comparison. People generally have nothing to fear from them, not even when breaking the law. They are well educated with much emphasis on deescalation. The police academy here is a full education. It takes three years, and after that they can specialize in various areas. They also have the benefit of course of not having to fear guns all the time, which means they generally don't have to fear citizens either. I've been arrested without even being touched, not even to put handcuffs on. Only at jail did they quickly pat me down. That would never happen in the US.

It's sad that this is almost the only channel reporting on this, because I hate the fact that it rides on the wave of popular left/right divisiveness. This isn't about the left versus the right. This is about the elite versus the people. Normal left wing people dislike this just as much as you do.

We can't make such laboratory babies. There is some theoretical and experimental research regarding that but it's nowhere close to being an actual option for humans.

It's the same in Dutch where "good morning" is "goede morgen" which obviously came from the Dutch word for "mourning" which is "rouwen". There's no connection between the English "morning" and the Dutch "morgen" whatsoever, but the connection between "morgen" en "rouwen" couldn't be more obvious. They just changed a few letters.

This is a bit unfair to that last girl. Of course, you can't expect all those things after just graduating, but that doesn't mean it can't be frustrating to start out, and she's just venting that frustration. We've all (well, lots of us) been there. We just didn't have the culture to share those kinds of moments with the world.

I genuinely don't understand what they mean with "no climate justice on occupied land". They want climate justice except on occupied land? I mean, politics aside, this is just a confusing chant.

It's just another of those videos that are meant to create the illusion of intelligence. After it says the Sky News hosts are all knowledgeable and professional, he should have asked it what made it think that. It would have started hallucinating, i.e. given a nonsensical answer, because that isn't in the data they fed into it prior to shooting this.

@Angel_11_legnA Ah yes. Just another 16 year old with toy ears who's so shy she physically ducks and curls up in her own arms when spoken to.

It does. You're just looking at that wrong. She was at the United Nations because they wanted that, not because she wanted to and they accepted. It was just a propaganda stunt. The UN is a very strong advocate for the exact same things as Thunberg, but by presenting her as this underdog teenager fighting for a good cause, they managed to turn half a generation into activists for their agenda. They all think they're fighting against the establishment but they want the same things. Governments can't do much without significant support of the population though, so that stunt with Thunberg at the UN was a brilliant move.

It's not even just trespassing. It's contempt of court because he already had a court order to not go to the school. He had already ignored that and spent time in jail for that, only to go right back at it again. In addition, he wasn't even fired for refusing to use those pronouns. He was fired for gross misconduct because he kept publicly rallying against it, and violated the transgender student's privacy while doing that.

@timo386 Just have a look at her career. Her entire research career consists of complete horseshit, yet she seems to be doing fine. All of her publications are just utter word salad with no substance; all related to breakdancing.

Insect are dying out due to pesticides, fish are disappearing, agricultural soil is showing less and less microbial life, seas of plastics are floating around, rich bio diverse forests are cut down an replaced with monocultures, ... green politicians: we need a carbon tax trading scheme.

Why do we even give vaccines to people who have only weeks to live? These people live in nursing homes. That is their final resting place. They aren't taken to a hospital for surgery anymore either. These people deserve their last days in decency, not as part of some pharmaceutical frenzy.

@SpiralMystic Yes, lets call all straight men creeps because they like certain things about women.

You can see there are people waiting for him there. For once he actually doesn't wander off and seems to go where he's supposed to go.

But he's an expert cross country skier He's asking the wrong questions to the wrong person.

Well, they revoked her visa. If the UK is anything like the rest of Europe, that is still a long way from actually whooping someone back on a plane.

Viruses mutate. That's natural. There have been thousands of mutations already. What's also natural is that they become less lethal over time. Successful viruses don't kill their hosts; they evolve to coexist. A mutation that is supposedly both more contagious and more deadly makes no sense at all.
1
@simonharris4873 Of course they do. Mutations in viruses are no different then evolution in organisms; successful ones survive and others die out. Mutations that are more deadly are less successful because they spread less.
1
@frederiksmees5503 Agreed. Living is more than not dying.
1
@simonharris4873 And it takes much longer for them to die. If it becomes more harmful, more people will end up in the hospital, and more people will die. The virus can reproduce all it wants but dead people don't infect others. And walking around 3 days before ending in the hospital is a very different situation from walking around with no symptoms for 3 weeks.

Anderson Paak The Washington Post also reported on this. Besides, the research in the WIV with the EcoHealth alliance and Peter Daskzak is publicly available. Marion Koopmans also declared her three years advisory function for the Chinese government in her statement of interests for her current function for the Dutch government. I haven't looked at the other guy, but I'm pretty sure you can verify this yourself as well. So tell me, what's false?

Israel doesn't contest the absolute death numbers. They come from the Gaza ministry of health, which, while ultimately under Hamas control, is itself a civil organization. Regarding the natural deaths: They are not omitted. They are included in those numbers. They are total number of deaths, regardless of cause; basically they are simply population statistics.
