Ganz genau, @TheTomas 👏

Das deutsche #Grundgesetz schreibt ein #Parteiverbot gegen extremistische Parteien „vor“, das ist keine unverbindliche Empfehlung! Soll #RechtundOrdnung bzw. #LawandOrder nur für Migranten gelten? 🤔🇩🇪🇪🇺

Habe in meiner Demo - Rede in #Stuttgart schon im Januar 2024 zu #afd_verbot_jetzt unseren gewählten Abgeordneten gesagt: „Wir sind Euch nicht böse, falls das Gerichtsverfahren scheitert. Wir sind Euch aber böse, wenn Ihr es nicht einmal versucht!“ scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-

Natur des Glaubens · Die Rede zu Stuttgart hält zusammen 2024 - dual und monistischDie duale Rede von Dr. Michael Blume wurde von Medienaktiven auch auf YouTube eingestellt, so dass nun beide Fassungen vorliegen.

A few days ago, I mentioned that government officials are using Facebook, the same way they are using Signal. In that post, I noted that, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is likely not alive and well.

Sometime yesterday, that seem to have been all but confirmed. These people are not going to jail in El Salvador, rather, they are being sent there to die, well outside the view of the public's knowledge.

Dr Philip Polkinghorne is the latest in a long line of convicted criminals who fit the image of 'respectable citizen', not the reactionary caricature of what "criminals" look like (poor, underemployed, brown, etc);

Yet these inaccurate "law and order" stereotypes persist. Why? Implicit bias. The same bias allows governments to cancel programs based on researched evidence for the causes of crime, in favour of 3 Strikes approaches.

I am driven by my emotions.

"Our opinions generally have emotional rather than intellectual roots, and indeed rationality largely functions as a post hoc justification. Our political opinions, ultimately, are what we feel about the world, not what we think about it. And in turn, our opinions about particular events have a lot to do with how we feel about the world in general. It’s not an exaggeration to say that most people’s views about the kind of things that happen today are extensions of concerns of their own ego. And consequently, invitations to change their minds because new facts emerge, or because old ideas are discredited by new evidence, are in fact a threat to the strength and even survival of that ego."

"But few people, especially those who have received a decent education, want to acknowledge that their views are based on emotion and not reason. They therefore try to argue".
