Historians of the communist experience around the world have estimated that as many as 200 million people—innocent men, women, and children—may have been killed, including 64 million in the Soviet Union and up to 80 million in China. https://t.co/11OX0Lh7f9
Please, for the love of god people, stop being offended by everything. You’re still going to be fine tomorrow if you got insulted today.
“It offends me so you can’t like it or have it!” is absolutely nonsensical.
Erhard Nimtz, Pressesprecher Stadt Kerpen, saß gestern im Einsatzfahrzeug, das mit Molotowcocktails beworfen wurde. „Das war eine schlimme Situation für alle, die im Fahrzeug saßen“. #HambacherForst
Das geht zu weit: Im #HambacherForst wurde ein Polizeifahrzeug aus dem Wald heraus mit zwei Molotowcocktails beworfen. Nur mit Glück wurde niemand verletzt. Hierdurch werden leichtfertig Menschenleben gefährdet. Distanzieren Sie sich von gewalttätigen Aktionen. #Polizei#Aachen
BREITBART EXCLUSIVE.

@AussieDon13 @Timcast Germany is also the main actor behind the EU copyright reform with the link tax and the upload filter that passed today. Germany not Russia is by far the biggest threat to the internet and therefore democracy today since new parties like UKIP, AFD and so on depend on the internet
@AussieDon13 @Timcast Absolutely. You likely heard of the NetzDG law Germany passed this year which fines social media firms €50 million for not censoring posts within 24 hours, but it's citizens who write a complaint to get a post censored, so Germany has crowdsourced state censorship (yet again).
@Timcast To be fair though, Facebook is a lot more sinister than Twitter ever was. Just think of the large scale psychological manipulation experiments they carried out on users: https://t.co/BPfPFL92Kq
@Timcast That's not actually that unlikely, Twitter most likely won't shut down entirely unless they go bankrupt but some employees might leave and apologize. Former Facebook employees have already apologized for what they did to society. One example: https://t.co/THNjB1iybQ
In a surprise move, the online video game store @GOGcom from parent company CD Projekt of Witcher fame comes out against gamers, calls them an "abusive movement". I'm not a marketing expert, so I fail to see through their plan here. 1) Sell games 2) Call gamers names 3) Profit???
• The intention behind our tweet was to inform about a release known for controversial content.
• Unfortunately, we've failed to make the association between the image, the date, and an abusive movement.
• Our intention was never to hurt or condone hate.
Really enjoyed this chat with Libertarian gubernatorial candidate from the great state of New York, @LarrySharpe: https://t.co/TeVFLNx2I8 Would love to sit down with you too, @andrewcuomo!
Today marks 70th birthday of Andrzej Sapkowski, the creator of The Witcher novels and short stories. On this day we’d like to thank him for bringing this vast and rich universe into existence.
Cheers!
I can handle all this, but universities need to know that this stuff is unacceptable. Despite ppl urging me since Nov, I didn’t want to sue. I still feel ambivalent about it. But the harassment and discrimination complaint (details are confidential) was the final straw.
