Eppo Tjuchem wrote that during a housing protest at De Dam, climate, refugees, and Palestine were mentioned alongside the housing market. According to him, no one could explain the substantive connection, and various fixed action points were brought back to the table. #Woonprotest https://t.co/aSj8DXCuoE #klimaat #vluchtelingen #woningmarkt (translated)

Vala van den Boomen wrote that her son resisted what he saw as inclusivity being imposed in an exclusive manner. She mentioned that students who, a year earlier, did not want to walk under purple balloons on a purple carpet clashed with the student coordinator. According to her, people who did not actively participate in the "rainbow circus" were therefore labeled as intolerant. Van den Boomen wrote that her son knows what it is like to belong to a minority and to be different, but that acceptance, according to him, does not arise from having children walk on a purple carpet or keeping 150 parliamentarians in the Chamber late into the night for a vote on an activist flag. She argued that acceptance calls for treating it as normal. https://t.co/eGvv04SCVf #acceptatie #inclusiviteit #vrijheid (translated)

Ronald Brok wrote that this showed him that the political priorities were not focused on energy poverty, housing shortages, or the asylum crisis, but on the activist rainbow flag. He also stated that activists in the Netherlands were calling the shots. https://t.co/yiGg1RMPO0 #politiek #Nederland #activisme (translated)

Marysol wrote to Lientje that she found the motion absurd and even sickening. She also said she did not understand why 50PLUS was concerned with the flag: according to her, reasonable people could accept gay men and lesbians without that activist flag. #discriminatie #acceptatie #homorechten (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that the public broadcaster had mostly given a voice to people in recent weeks who were in favor of a larger government and against cuts. A cut of 1 percent in subsidies was proposed as a national disaster, among others in discussions with trade unions and Paul De Grauwe, whom Vande Reyde said had claimed that the government debt would vanish like snow in the sun. He also stated that the broadcaster was actively looking for protesting students to give legitimacy to the riots. Vande Reyde accused the VRT and other traditional media of ignoring issues that people were concerned about or portraying those with such concerns as foolish. According to him, subsidized activist organizations were given ample space, while guests advocating for a smaller government or who were critical of migration were invariably surrounded by additional commentary and counterarguments. Vande Reyde wondered whether this reporting explained the loss of trust in traditional media. He wrote that media subsequently labeled social media as suspicious and presented themselves as the only reliable source, while according to him they were pursuing more subsidies and advertising revenues. #MediaBias #Overheid #VRT (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote that of the 70,000 people invited to the climate consultation, approximately 6 percent responded. According to him, a panel of 175 people was formed from that group through weighted lottery. He argued that participation in itself selected people based on interest and opinions, resulting in the panel not being a representative cross-section of the Netherlands. According to Sassen, the assignment was also limited beforehand: the consultation was not about whether climate policy should be implemented, but about its scope and ways in which the Dutch could eat, travel, and consume more climate-friendly. Documents requested through the WOO showed, according to him, that among others, Extinction Rebellion had provided input for the invitations, guiding principles, and knowledge panel. According to Sassen, critical experts were selectively fact-checked or neutralized. He concluded that the citizen consultation was therefore not a neutral democratic instrument but a process with a left-progressive and, in his view, even left-activist inclination. #Klimaatbeleid #Democratie #Feiten (translated)

The Republic of Moldova will have ONLY 3 (three) regions after it will dismantle 32 county councils made by the socialist supporters of Moscow to place former USSR activists in positions. AFTERWARDS, there will be a rapid reorganization in all state institutions. ALL OF THEM. We have 41 counties and 8 development regions that are actually nothing, even though we have been in the EU for almost 20 years. It's precisely the socialists in the PSD who block any real administrative reform to feed the party clientele. #Moldova #ReformaAdministrativa #Politica (translated)

Typerend. This is the director of Avansa VZW. His organization, linked to the Catholic union, receives 13.6 million euros in subsidies each year. What do they do with it? Organize forest walks. With a left-activist approach. And as he aptly explains here: "doing things for people". Like "writing a book about the elderly" and then "touring schools with it and making a theater presentation". The man risks losing a maximum of 5% of subsidies with this government agreement. That means: instead of 13.6 million euros, he will now receive "only" 13 million euros per year (it is likely to be around 13.4 million in reality). According to the public broadcaster, this is "cold, bleak" almost inhumane. Those not invited to discuss this: working dual-income earners who struggle to save a little money. They will continue to pay the 13.4 million euros to Avansa. In this country, you are already seen as cold and bleak when you question that. Abolish the entire subsidy pot of 80 million euros. If there are a few organizations that could use some support, that can perfectly be done through a regular subsidy. #subsidies #maatschappij #vakbond (translated)

Twee op drie Nederlanders geloven Den Haag nauwelijks nog in eerlijke oplossing voor de boeren. Twee op drie Nederlanders hebben gelijk. We worden enorm genaaid door een activistisch kabinet. Kost miljarden. De natuur schiet er weinig mee op. Op kosten van de belastingbetaler. https://t.co/vpvh8593Y5 #Nederland #Boeren #Politiek

‘De dissidenten’ van stripmaker Backderf biedt een historisch accuraat, ontluisterend beeld van de onderdrukking van activistische cartoonisten in het Amerika van de jaren 1910, waarbij de angsten van autoritaire machthebbers voor kritische stemmen worden blootgelegd. #DeDissidenten #Backderf #TheMasses

Rita Flores, fostă membră a Pussy Riot, a relatat cum a fost recrutat și amenințat timp de trei ani de către ofițeri ai FSB-ului rus pentru a-și denunța colegii activiști, în urma unei campanii de șantaj și intimidare, și a decis să vorbească despre experiența sa după ce a fugit din țară. #PussyRiot #FSB #activism

Boeh! aan de "experten". De journalisten kennen het verschil niet meer tussen activisten en experten. De mevrouw rechts wordt hier opgevoerd als experte maar ze is in werkelijkheid de mede-oprichtster van Boeh! Een activistische vereniging die opkomt voor de hoofddoek. Ja, ze is daarnaast ook post-doc researcher aan de U Gent in de sociologie. Het is niet verstandig van onze universiteiten om activisten als wetenschappers in te zetten. Een wetenschapper behoort te kunnen twijfelen aan zijn eigen stellingen. Deze activisten zijn vooral daar niet goed in. Met als gevolg dat zowel de gazetten als de wetenschap alweer hun eigen geloofwaardigheid ondergraven. Ter zake trouwens: nergens in dit interview met deze valse "experte" leest u iets over de intussen gevestigde rechtspraak van het Europees mensenrechtenhof dat een verbod op een hoofddoek in het onderwijs toelaat. Wat meteen treffende illustreert dat haar verontwaardiging over de schendingen van de mensenrechten waarmee ze schermt, berust op een onwetenschappelijke lezing van wat die mensenrechten inhouden. Dit is geen wetenschap maar activisme. Boeh! voor de krant @HLN_BE die zo'n misleiding brengt. #wetenschap #activisme #journalistiek

Kamerleden van D66 en Pro uiten hun bezorgdheid over de impact van Amerikaanse sancties op Europese internetbedrijven, met als meest recente voorbeeld de Italiaanse activistische webhoster Autistici/Inventati, die gedwongen werd zich op te heffen. #AmerikaanseSancties #Internetbedrijven #DigitaleAutonomie

Victor Vlam reageert op Gerrit Hiemstra: "Dit vond ik echt extreem activistisch." "Er zit een speciaal somber muziekje bij om je maar te laten ervaren dat deze klimaatcrisis echt verschrikkelijk is." "Sowieso was het heel apocalyptisch. Want we zagen allerlei beelden van branden en overstromingen en grote uitstoot. Er wordt heel erg een beeld gewekt waar ik van denk: dit is wel echt extreem apocalyptisch." "En wat ik opmerkelijk vind is: er is gewoon geen kritische bevraging in zo'n uitzending. Een van de dingen die hij bijvoorbeeld zei: er zijn afgelopen zomer door de hitte 35.000 doden gevallen in Europa." "Maar wat daar eigenlijk gaande is: mensen die door de hitte zijn overleden, dat zijn vaak mensen die oud en zwak zijn. En die feitelijk een paar weken eerder doodgaan dan anders. Dus als er een hittegolf is, heb je vaak oversterfte, de periode daarna heb je ondersterfte." "Die nuances ontbreken. Het wordt benaderd als een soort van dominee." "Ik vind het onacceptabel om vlees en zuivel op te geven. Dat ga ik niet doen. Ik denk dat heel veel mensen in Nederland van hun kaas houden. Om tegen Nederlanders te zeggen dat moet allemaal verdwijnen vind ik extreem vergaan." "En zeker als je bedenkt dat de CO2-uitstoot van Nederland wereldwijd 0,3 procent is. Stel dat wij ineens ophouden met vlees en zuivel, dan heeft dat een vrij beperkt effect op klimaatverandering in het algemeen." #Klimaat #Activisme #Duurzaamheid

Klimaatwetenschappers VN klimaatpanel ipcc zijn gestopt met extremistische klimaatalarm scenario RCP8.5 vanwege niet realistich. KNMI gaat rustig verder met doemscenario. Bewijst nogmaals dat @KNMI een activistische eenzijdige politieke agenda heeft. Zeer zorgwekkend #klimaat #IPCC #KNMI
