Hoe is het mogelijk dat een docent van mijn @Radboud_Uni ongegeneerd terrorisme kan verheerlijken?
Op 7 oktober werden 1200 mensen vermoord en 250 gijzelaars meegenomen, daarvan zijn er 2 jaar later 40 nog steeds niet terug. Dat vieren is in en in treurig en kwaadaardig.
I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do.
“When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”
Als student aan @Radboud_Uni maak ik me ernstig zorgen. Een docent verdedigt Hamas publiekelijk en noemt wie hen niet steunt “radicaal”. Hamas is een terroristische organisatie. Het steunen van terrorisme is extremistisch. Hoe kan #Radboud dit blijven accepteren?
Ik word kotsmisselijk van het narratief dat we een probleem zouden hebben met mannen.
Dit is geen mannenprobleem. Het is een migratie-/open grenzen-probleem.
@basilthegreat We must ban both halal and kosher slaughter.
Slitting an animal's throat and allowing it to bleed to death in the most unimaginable pain is pure cruelty.
Both must be banned.
New polling has found that 52 percent of Gen Z (aged 13-27) despise democracy, and would rather a dictator was in charge.
33 percent said the UK would be better off 'if the army was in charge'.
47 percent agree 'the entire way our society is organised must be radically changed through revolution'.
In January, an FGS Global Radar report found 21 percent of people aged 18-45 would prefer 'a strong leader who doesn’t have to bother with elections' were running the country.
In 2022, Onward polling found 61 percent of people aged 18-34 wanted a 'strongman' in charge.
As I explained in my Triggernometry interview last year, this doesn't stem from a love of uniforms, marching, and mass killings.
Rather, Zoomers, for whom the taboos of the twentieth century are most distant, are less afraid of executive power than they are demanding things promised by politicians are delivered.
Having been put under house arrest for two years, they know to what extent state power can be used. It's no longer a matter of *if*, but of *how*.
Combined with the outsourcing of Parliamentary sovereignty and decision-making to a faceless bureaucracy of committees and quangos (a Deep State), this has left many believing that democracy doesn't exist.
Looking at figures like Trump, Milei, and @nayibbukele has made many patriotic minded, hard-working Zoomers aware of what is possible when an executive cuts taxes and locks up criminals.
If democracy *worked*, then you wouldn't have British Zoomers on both sides of the issue demanding it be abandoned.
It shows a large cohort of young voters lack representation, and a lot of eager political talent is being left on the table.
Which party will heed the call, dismantle the Deep State, and govern as demanded?
The most important lesson I teach my son every single day is not to make excuses, ever. If something doesn't go his way, if he doesn't succeed some how, or someone wins instead of him, his natural and understandable response is to make an excuse; everyone does it.
It's fine to analyse the situation and identify your weaknesses and your opponent's strengths, but they must never become an excuse as to why you lost, but the reason you won't lose next time because it's what you're going to work on to improve yourself.
I explain to him frankly and fairly that an excuse is him saying "I don't need to change," and the excuse itself is a way of formulating a post-hoc rationalisation as to why the other guy got the better of him.
I am trying to impart the most important of lessons for men: if you didn't succeed, if you didn't get what you wanted, if the other guy beat you, then you do need to change because you are not the best version of you that you can be.
Change is often painful, it is often tiring, and it is often a long time until you see the result, but if you want to win, change you must.
This is how Rome won its Empire, and we, as men, need to start thinking in these terms again. No more acceptance of defeat, or being lulled into a torporous sleep by hypnotic ideological spells. No more.
We can and must win, and we will change ourselves into whatever form is necessary for that to happen.
