Peace is a very great good and war a terrible evil to be entered into at last resort. Given what we did to Libya, contrasting with North Korea, (and the unilateral cancelling of the first Iran deal for petty internal politics reasons) the Western world has defacto incentivised nuclear proliferation.

I managed to sleep a few hours. It was the hardest night in Kyiv. 14 people were killed and 99 were injured. Perhaps it is not a final number 💔 I opened the window (luckily, I still have one after this night). Then closed it. Kyiv is covered in terrible smoke.

Wenn man sagt man traut sich als schwuler Mann auf dem Land nicht Händchen halten, dann ist man abgehobene städtische Elite die auf die normalen Leute herabschaut. Wenn man das gleiche für Berlin-Neukölln sagt dann spricht man endlich ehrlich Misstände an. Lasst uns diesen Mist nicht mitmachen.

I really appreciate you highlighting this and I think this classification is ridiculous. Still, I’m not sure where it says those are „foreign“ extremist organisations. The quoted section speaks of „extremism related to outside Germany“.

Can you guess what happened to fertility rates when researchers gave women in Burkina Faso access to free contraceptives? ... ... ... Absolutely nothing. "Free contraception did not influence fertility."

This is why I really don't need to watch Black mirror. Just looking at the mind-bending stuff governments around the world - like this time in North Korea - come up with in #surveillance and thought-policing is scary enough for me.
