"Authorities said he worked as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist" imagine being one of his patients

Doesn't sound that different from this

This may not have been a good time for anyone to have suddenly come out on, say, xitter, in support of AfD.

The enemies of Western societies and values are complex, should come as no surprise.

recombobulating.bsky.social•74 days ago

This is a product of western societies and values.

What happened to AfD???

rardeenus.bsky.social•74 days ago

‘Anti-Islam Saudi’. How does that work then?

johnp285.bsky.social•74 days ago

There are anti-Monarchists in the UK. You can’t characterise Nationalities by aspects of their Nations.

rardeenus.bsky.social•74 days ago

No, I was just flippantly observing that given the iron grip the Saudi state has on its people, and dissidents, for example, Jamal Khashoggi, the notion of an anti-Islam Saudi is interesting.

snabbkassa.bsky.social•60 days ago

Doesn't make sense, because of course, tolerance towards Islamists brings on its own punishment.

mikkelx.bsky.social•74 days ago

Turns out it wasn't true.
He lied to the German authorities to not be extradited for accusations of rape to Saudi Arabia.
Here he is celebrating Hamas.

jflinch.bsky.social•74 days ago

That's quite the contextual journey. Is this what Musk meant when he said only the AfD can save Germany?

zenlike.bsky.social•74 days ago

Maybe the particulars are a bit weird, but “right wing anti Muslim terrorist attack” shouldn’t really come as a surprise.

ianrobo.bsky.social•74 days ago

except the attack was not on muslims ... see what Nigel Farage first posted and then we see the truth

catsbetterthanmen.bsky.social•74 days ago

Why would anyone pay any attention to anything Farage has to say?

ianrobo.bsky.social•74 days ago

sadly enough do ... and always said about 25% of any country is racist ...

mcchris85.bsky.social•74 days ago

Eastern Germany, right?

Converts to any religion are kinda weird.
When you grow up in a Tradition, they steer you away from the stuff that just doesn't work, but when you Convert, you think whatever does not makes sense is a Lesson from Gawd, and you better Git Right With It.

Duda was a convert away from religion, not to it.

rockmondo.bsky.social•74 days ago

Said he was an Ex Moslem. I bet money he is Catholic now, just switched loyalties in the Crusades.
And German media covered it up.
But I could be wrong. Just goes with what he is now saying.

He did not Convert to Secular Humanism, that is for sure.

recombobulating.bsky.social•74 days ago

Liberal rationalism is one of the most dangerous religions.

rockmondo.bsky.social•74 days ago

Compared to what actual religion?
