Els van Veen wrote that people in the Netherlands who questioned mainstream narratives were met with fierce condemnation, negative articles in national newspapers, and damage to their reputations, according to her. She mentioned, among others, Dr. Jan van de Beek and Ir. Wouter de Heij, stating that this was not only happening around immigration but also in discussions about climate, Russia, and other subjects. Van Veen referred to former General Van Kappen, who, according to her, spoke on television about an information war in which everyone participated. She wrote that critics were often ignored when it later turned out that their questions were justified. She claimed to have experienced this herself when she asked questions about the corona policy: she received threatening letters from the Inspection and became the subject of negative articles in national newspapers. She stated that those who had reported her to the Inspection at the time were now silent, while, according to her, new narratives were emerging. Van Veen expressed her admiration for Van de Beek and De Heij. According to her, they made it clear what the consequences were when narratives were protected and critics were combated, instead of pursuing policies that centered on the well-being of the Dutch people. She wrote that the internet had ensured that their viewpoints could be heard. #informatieoorlog #narratieven #vrijeopinie (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus stated that Volkswagen is considering freezing the salaries of more than 660,000 employees worldwide at the level of 2026 until 2030. This would mean four years without salary increases, he explained. However, the global salary freeze has not yet been decided. Boeminghaus said that this would make people poorer while inflation is currently rising faster. He cited a report from Handelsblatt dated October 19, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/mcUUYbyeRN #Volkswagen #Gehaltsstopp #Autoindustrie (translated)

Snicklink wrote that the left would realize that their demands for justice and equal treatment had been unsuccessful. The right would find that their desire for safety and tradition had turned against them and had become the basis for their own lack of freedom. Those in the political center, who had remained passive out of fear of taking a clear stance, would also, according to Snicklink, realize that without their own action, nothing would change. Very soon, people would understand that they had been pitted against each other, Snicklink wrote. Their fundamental values and needs, as well as their fears and hopes, had been deliberately addressed— a pattern that had been effective for thousands of years and tapped into tribal thinking. Snicklink also wrote that the human soul had been poisoned by too much information about the trivial and too little about the essential. The human spirit had been shaped and subjugated, and was so far removed from its source that people only found themselves in violence, plundering, envy, and generalizations. They had come to consider this their true nature, Snicklink wrote. The author added that all of this had to happen for people to rediscover themselves. In conclusion, he thanked God for accompanying people on their journey back to love. #Gerechtigkeit #Gesellschaft #Menschlichkeit (translated)

Rupert Lowe of Restore Britain says the electoral success of his political party would "inevitably" lead to civil unrest and rioting. His argument is increasingly that civil conflict has become unavoidable + absolutely necessary (if still partly regrettable + somewhat to be blamed on opponents)
