@shaialbrecht A “legitimate title”? Really? Saying “UN special representative” is now just like saying “special antisemite” in charge of x or y. Legitimacy stems from the truth and rationality of an argument, not from titles. Let’s not be fooled by labels.

@FFeigling Es ist immer dasselbe. Manche Leute lernen die Sprache zwar, aber nicht einmal besonders gut, und das war’s dann auch schon. Wahrscheinlich, weil die westliche Gesellschaft außer Konsum und Muße nichts mehr zu bieten hat.
@RabbiPoupko These are the offspring of the post-fascist Italian bourgeoisie -- just like their grandparents and fathers, so too their children. Nothing new. Italy has never truly come to terms with fascism, and here are the results. They've only changed the color of their shirts.
@TruthBridgeV You know the fable of the scorpion and the frog, right? Who is really to blame? The scorpion is just following its nature. The one truly responsible for its downfall is the frog...
@TRobinsonNewEra This is not only because of the political climate created by the media and politicians, but also because these uniformed stooges are cowards who bully young girls because they know they won’t face any consequences. The cowardice of some men has always been a huge problem.
“One cannot but feel sorrow for people who think that by permanently disfiguring themselves they are somehow declaring their independence or expressing their individuality. The tattoo has a profound meaning: the superficiality of modern man’s existence.”
Theodore Dalrymple
@sowelleconomics And the fact that it’s pure nonsense doesn’t matter, right? What counts is making a fuss, spouting silly stuff, and ignoring the facts—oddly, this too is a consequence already predicted by the Frankfurt School. The 21st century is the most foolish era in the history of humanity.
@erin_azam@TrondyneMedia@RabbiPoupko There's no point in trying to argue with these people; they can't recognize anything and are filled with a barbaric, antisemitic hatred. Dante would say of them: “both mercy and justice disdain them. Let us not speak of them, but look and pass on.”
@HeidiBachram Anyone who claims to be an intellectual but has no respect for free speech and the facts is simply an ideologue or a propagandist, nothing more. Ilan Pappe is a sad and pathetic example of how some people would even sell their souls for a crust of bread.
@elonmusk He basically played all the roles in the comedy... What's amazing is how half the world followed this individual... That's the truly surreal part of it.
@_david_brg Noch vor 10 oder 15 Jahren hätte sich niemand vorstellen können, dass ausgerechnet in Deutschland solche Äußerungen in den Medien wieder auftauchen würden, insbesondere von Personen in wichtigen öffentlichen Ämtern... Was ist denn wohl passiert?
Teddy Roosevelt once asked Emperor Franz Joseph I: "What does a monarch even do in today's day and age?"
The emperor replied: "My job is mostly to protect my people from politicians."
@BB12_DE It’s really hard to believe that Europe’s fate lies in the hands of these amateur politicians. However, we must always remember that, in the end, it is the people who choose these representatives, so they are merely a symptom of a far more radical and profound disaster.
