@kangminlee Correct. The Christian New Testament is older than the Talmud, Midrash and Zohar. The Hebrew Old Testament pre-dates all of the above. The people in Israel who follow only the Old Testament (Karaites) have been denied basic rights in Israel.
@ArmstrongEcon I have seen the inside of Europe and it is likely true and I don't want to believe it. The weakness of that theory is that it is hard to determine what happens in a full political class of people. Also some are Marxist indoctrinated and others are careerists. Two streams
The propaganda has become so absurd that perhaps we should finally discuss the REAL reasons Russia would supposedly invade Europe:
To acquire Germany’s energy policy expertise and finally learn how to shut down functioning nuclear plants while importing expensive energy from everyone else.
To experience the thrill of open borders and historic levels of crime in culturally enriched cities.
The reality is that the political class in Europe needs Russia psychologically more than Russia needs Europe economically.
Keynesianism is actually a virus. Keynesians get into power, and give the money that they print to their friends. Then the 'friends' tell the public shamefaced that the givers of the money are wonderful. I am not specifically talking about @markjcarney.
@MelissaLMRogers No, you are thinking about a keynsian monetarist paradigm. Any economy needs to be based on trust. If printing money could create economic progress, then printing degrees can prevent stupidity. It might have been Javier Milei who said it, but it is still a great quote
@BowesChay Xi Jin Ping and Vladimir Putin have good survivability in terms of the Lindy Effect. They are both likely to survive for at least a decade IMO. I do not understand internal RU or Chinese law so I cannot say more than that.
One thing that surprises many foreigners about Japan 🇯🇵
Young children often walk to school by themselves.
Wearing little yellow hats,
carrying backpacks,
quietly walking through neighborhoods together.
Not because parents don’t care.
But because society is safe enough
for children to grow independent.
For many Japanese people,
this is completely normal.

“If you don't stop people that you've never seen before, that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail...
You are destroying your heritage.”
Bill C-22 is being sold as a tool to fight crime, but its biggest targets are the privacy rights of ordinary Canadians. When Signal, Apple, Meta, Shopify, NordVPN, and civil liberties advocates are all sounding the alarm, Parliament should listen. Contact your MP and tell them to stop Bill C-22.

A very sad announcement.
I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration.
In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least.
Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration.
In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.
Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”
That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.
Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration."
You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible.
Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it.
The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration.
Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail.
Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win.

If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.
@jmilei_english Marx's demonology is literally true. Marx heard voices from demons, just like the disputed "Satanic Verses" describe Mohammed hearing voices from Satan.
