Filip Zator wrote that the KO MP Kierzek-Koperska described a verbal attack on another person as fascism. He added that, in his opinion, the authorities want to combat this understood fascism through the DSA law, which — he claimed — the MP herself admitted. He called on the president to veto the law and warned that otherwise reality would resemble "Orwell IRL." #faszyzm #wolnośćsłowa #DSA (translated)

Bojan Požar stated in an interview with Nova24TV that he joined the Institute for the Protection of Victims of the Parliamentary Inquiry 2022-26 as a co-founder because he wanted to more effectively highlight alleged abuses. He mentioned Tamara Vonta, Vesna Vuković, and Tomaž Modic as responsible individuals and said that Robert Golob gave the green light for their actions. He rejected the accusation that the institute is politically or right-leaning. He cited their diversity as evidence that the founders come from different political backgrounds. Požar mentioned that he appeared before the commission as a witness, while the company he leads was being investigated. He claimed that more than 90 percent of the questions during the several-hour hearing did not pertain to the topic of the commission and that he was accused of having published too many articles about Golob as a journalist. According to him, the articles were printed and placed before Vonta. He alleged that Vonta, despite reviewing the bank accounts of him and his company, which the commission allegedly accessed illegally, requested his hearing. Požar described this as a planned attempt at personal, journalistic, and business discreditation. He also mentioned that the institute filed a complaint against Vonta and that he expects sanctions against her and the leadership of the parliamentary inquiry. #žurnalizem #politika #parlament (translated)

Carl Eos wrote that Fredrik Lindström had referred to Swedish emigrants to the USA as refugees on På spåret the day before and asserted that the designation was incorrect. Eos referred to a definition of refugees as persons outside their country of citizenship due to well-founded fear of persecution, who cannot or will not seek the protection of that country. According to Eos, one did not become a refugee merely by leaving one's country. He described Swedish emigrants, such as those in Vilhelm Moberg's books, as emigrants and wrote that they primarily left Sweden for economic reasons. He added that it might be possible to argue that certain Christians in other European countries had fled religious persecution. Eos believed that it was politically motivated to call Moberg's emigrants refugees and described it as an attempt to rewrite history for political reasons. He called the reasoning "purely Orwellian." #flyktingar #utvandrare #historie (translated)

Max Otte described the awarding of the Westphalian Peace Prize to NATO in Münster as "Orwell Day." Upset citizens had booed Mark Rutte, Friedrich Merz, and Hendrik Wüst; according to his assessment, it would be hardly seen on television. Otte also wrote that only a war could still save Merz and referred to Orwell's inversion of war and peace. #Münster #NATO #Frieden (translated)

Überraschung 🎉 Stunden, nachdem sich Klingbeils bevorzugter Koalitionspartner offen als antisemitischer Hort von Terrorpaten geoutet hat, forciert er ein Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD. Orwell käme aus dem Lachen und Weinen nicht mehr heraus. https://t.co/ro1Ai8v3LZ #Politik #Antisemitismus #Deutschland

Wenn ich das jetzt richtig verstanden habe, wird man beim „freiwilligen Wehrdienst“ zur Zwangsmusterung im „Karrierecenter“ vorgeladen, selbst wenn man „kein Interesse“ angekreuzt hat. Und wenn man den „freiwilligen Fragebogen“ nicht ausfüllt, kommen Bußgeldbescheide. Wir leben in einem Orwell-Roman. #FreiwilligerWehrdienst #Zwangsmusterung #Orwell

Hieman ihmetytti Hesarin "vakituisen esseistin" ja Ylen vakituisen tv-asiantuntijan pasifistis-defaitistisen HS-jutun faktapohja. Esim. tämä: "jo talvisodan ensimmäisinä päivinä ilmeni, että hävittäjäkoneille olisi tarvetta. - - Suomeen hankittiin häthätää Britanniasta kalliita hävittäjiä, mutta ne eivät ehtineet sotaan." Ettei Suomella muka ollut talvisodassa hävittäjiä? No olihan niitä, vaikka ei tarpeeksi. Opetus nykypäivään voisikin olla, että aseita pitää olla riittävästi, eikä se että ne ovat turhia koska turpiin tulee kuitenkin. Pasifismi sinänsä on ok ideologia, mutta kannattaa muistaa George Orwellin havainto Espanjan sisällissodasta: pasifistit ovat viime kädessä fasismin asialla. Jos rautaa on oikein paljon, voi jopa käydä niin että vihollinenkin ymmärtää rauhan merkityksen. KVG #pelote https://t.co/g4Q6KOO4NU #pasifismi #sota #historianopetus
