Born in Amsterdam, living off-grid in Portugal.
Main view (left): as long as we don't make sure that every person has a decent life, I have no faith in mankind.
What I like: my loved ones, politics, website-development, gardening, playing guitar (lousy)
@exdomo.bsky.social Mijn idee hoe we van de leugenachtige politiek en het valse systeem af kunnen komen: eawmaas.top/hef-de-polit...
De partij tot opheffing van de politiek: herstel de fouten
De politiek is de grootste vijand van de democratie, ze bestaat alleen voor zichzelf en maakt de mens ondergeschikt, terwijl het andersom zou moeten zijn

Fascism comes in many degrees:

it's not like pregnancy where you are or aren't.

The moment where you hurt somebody's feelings and feel good about that,

you already are a little, annoying fascist.

Thinking about how Portugal is quickly going down the racist-rabbithole, which is even entering the authorities too. And all estrangeiros are subject to this growing racism, if you weren't already, you surely will be in the future. This is just not good 🙁

My websites use no cookies at all, so I do not need to add a cookiepolicy.
But why wouldn't I add a no-cookies-policy? It could be fun not?

My no-cookiespolicy: you don't need cookies to run a website
No cookies? How can that be? This is the internet! Is it even possible, a website without cookies? Really? Webmaster: Yeah, easy-peasy, go see four yourself

So this is christmas...

Why not share a clip of the US-banned "The internationale" by Toscanini?

Because isn't christmas a time to come together and make peace?

Finally?

First I read yesterday about semi-president Elon Musk reaching out to the German extreme-right AFD to help them and several hours later someone (an Arab, but presumably sympathisant of the AFD) drove into a crowd.

Coincidence?

Don't underestimate fascists.

We think we are smart because we follow everything on social media.

But we are braindead slaves picking up doggy biscuits that guys like Trump and Biden and Rutte and Macron etc. etc. are throwing at us.

We are stupid, we vote, over and over again.

How stupid can you be?
Turkey controls the militants that ousted former Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, US President-elect Donald Trump said during a wide-ranging and at times incoherent press conference today.
Trump says Turkey orchestrated Assad’s overthrow in Syria
U.S. president-elect said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan conducted an “unfriendly takeover” of Syria, which Turkey has wanted “for thousands of years.”

I've been watching "The godfather" again, for the tenth time (I believe) and I enjoyed it só much.

Neither Trump, Biden, Putin, Xi or even my wife can compete with the satisfaction this movie gives me (please don't tell her)

It's crazy that money can influence elections, 99% are not wealthy, but the 1% determines the outcome.

Today's democracy is a joke, nothing democratic about it.

We glued happiness to achieving material goals, once we reach that goal we find that happiness jumped over to something that we do not have.

And that goes on and on.

Meanwhile we could have achieved happiness a long time ago if we were able to free us from the algorithm that predestined our lifes.

We think we live in a democracy and therefore have influence, but it's a mask, we live in a plutocracy: whatever we vote for, it's always for some greedy rich who are not willing to change anything for the good of the people.

I do not believe, but if you do: shouldn't you then respect and love all of the Creators' children?

What line in your bible gives you the right to go sit on His chair and kill another human being?

Our society is run by a managerial bureaucracy,
by professional politicians;
people are motivated by mass suggestion,
their aim is producing more and consuming more,
as purposes in themselves.

I always hoped I was qualified enough to be at the top, but I am not a good liar, I do not harrass women and children and I did not sack any business by bankrupcy, so I guess I have to aim a little lower 🤔

I have come to the point that every source I used to follow, is not trustworthy anymore when they stay on X instead of switching to bluesky.

As long as Tiktok, X and Meta arent't being blocked worldwide, democracy will slowly die.

The USA haven't even recognized the Palestinian state, but the supreme court recognizes the Palestinian authority?

Voting rights:

a tool for Plutocrats to make the people think they are living in a democracy.

Already blocked 41 accounts after 10 days in here.

Most are beautiful girls, 30 years younger than me, apparently intelligent, rich and looking for an old man.

The rest just doesn't know how to behave in a respectful way.

Tiktok, Meta and X have proven to be a security-risk and not willing or able to block disinformation and interference with politics.

They should be banned immediately, before more harm is being caused.

Immigrants are not economic burdens.

The research is clear: immigrants play pivotal roles in driving innovation, enhancing productivity and fostering economic growth in their adopted countries #immigration
Immigrants are unsung heroes of global trade and value creation
Migrants play a crucial role in global trade networks.

Is everybody thát indoctrinated, that they forgot to think "I actually do not want war?"
Do you believe that only Russians, Chinese and Iranians write propaganda and that our leaders and media always tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
Don't let anybody tell you how to think.
