"There needs to be movement, the cabinet has shown that it can move on social security. We need movement on nitrogen. And we are all in the same boat, as we discussed in the faction meeting." BBB faction member Gert Jan Oplaat says during the break of the debate that his party would dare: "There needs to be movement, the cabinet has shown that it can move on social security. We need movement on nitrogen. And we are all in the same boat, as we discussed in the faction meeting." #EersteKamer #politiek #cooperatie (translated)

Steffan Nethe wrote that he helped a friend carry a dresser into her second apartment in the Schanzenviertel district of Hamburg. Although she had warned him in advance, he was surprised by the extent of the stickers on the walls of the houses. Nethe described the district as a stronghold of the left and wrote that entire blocks were covered with stickers against the police, the state, and the right. He said that this had nothing to do with normal residential culture; he compared the appearance to a run-down Antifa command center in public space and called it terrible. #Hamburg #Schanze #Antifa (translated)

Steven Arrazola de Oñate wrote that after a conversation with Stavros the day before, he had looked at the YouTube figures of De Morgen and thus better understood his anger. According to Arrazola, episodes of De Morgen on YouTube garnered about 500 views, compared to an average of around 10,000 for the Behaved podcast in recent weeks. He stated that this difference was approximately a factor of twenty, even though his podcast had no well-known media brand, large budget, or decades-long name recognition. Arrazola suggested that this comparison could be painful and wrote that Stavros apparently preferred to call him a ‘charlatan’ rather than a competitor. He invited Stavros as a guest on Behaved and said that the podcast was happy to engage in conversation with people who strongly disagreed with them. According to him, this resulted in more interesting discussions than insulting each other on X. #podcast #socialmedia #DeMorgen (translated)

Visit Urk stated that SV Urk 14 was, according to them, the only team in the Netherlands where all players and staff came from the same family.

Monique X-Fluencer 🇳🇱 ✌️ wrote that someone could become a minister in Sudan from a social housing situation, after having been previously identified as a war refugee from that same country. She suggested that this was apparently all possible. #Soedan #socialehuisvesting #vluchtelingen (translated)

Carine Knapen wrote that Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Germany are, in her opinion, struggling with serious domestic crises, rising debts, higher taxes, unaffordable prices, and deindustrialization, while deliberately billions continue to flow to a country outside the EU. #crisis #schuld #deindustrialiseerder (translated)

The author wrote that subversion had been portrayed as tolerance. Those who had warned against it or counted cases had been labeled as right-wing or inciting hatred. He accused the German media of portraying knives as everyday weapons, group actions as acts of youth groups, and fatalities as marginal notes. Moreover, he referred to Angela Merkel in retirement and included a link. https://t.co/KBuAZVAurf #Toleranz #Medienkritik #Deutschland #DE (translated)

Proud goat claimed that behind the account Gegen_die_AfD is the IT specialist Frank R. from Aachen. Since the founding of the AfD in 2013, he has systematically spread hate, false claims, and defamations against the party through the account. The post carried the hashtag #RedaktionsnetzwerkRechts. #RedaktionsnetzwerkRechts https://t.co/WVr9lCmUoW #AfD #Hassrede #FakeNews (translated)

The author wrote that Steinmeier referred to the concerns of these people as a rejection of fundamental rights. In fact, according to his depiction, they turned away from Steinmeier, his party, the politics, the cartel parties, and their media, as well as from the hatred and incitement of the political class. #Grundrechte #Politik #Hass #DE (translated)

Rona 5d

Rona wrote that Kellermann had repeatedly accused her publicly of lying and incited against her. According to her, a reporting office was not interested in this matter. The conflicts had started when she still had a small account, and Kellermann, as the head of the WDR studio in Essen, already had 13,000 followers. The trigger had been her question about why Kellermann publicly mocked Alice Schwarzer as an "old white woman" and did not acknowledge her merits. Later, he insulted her with derogatory terms in connection with her stance on trans people. Rona had complained in writing to the WDR about his behavior at that time. In response, she received a message to the effect that Kellermann was acting here in a private capacity. #Kritik #Medien #Diskussion (translated)

Nico Lange contrasted two statements dated October 1, 2026, from Vladimir Putin and Friedrich Merz. Putin stated that European citizens must distinguish between Russia's position and that of current political leaders. Election results in the largest European countries, in his opinion, showed that this was already happening. Merz declared that Germany would not be divided by hybrid attacks or by propaganda in social media directed by Moscow's embassies. He also stated that slogans from the AfD and their Russian backers would not change that. #Merz #Putin #Europapolitik (translated)

Hayali has been criticized for years due to serious journalistic deficiencies. Both Deutsche Bahn and ZDF accused her of professional errors and the use of AI-generated material. Additionally, she made questionable statements in the context of the Middle East conflict and the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which brought her into the headlines. Ultimately, she only stands out for her bias and lack of diligence, but not for critical journalism. It is absurd that Hayali receives this award, as she is anything but critical and instead is much more characterized by hate against all who are not left-leaning. #Journalismus #Meinungsfreiheit #Medienkritik (translated)

To think about: In April 1946, Nazi leader Hermann Göring explained in his cell in Nuremberg exactly how political power really works. He said that ordinary people never demand war or crisis, but you can always get them on board. The recipe is simple: tell them they are in danger, and accuse the critics of endangering the community. That eighty-year-old formula is today the exact blueprint behind the permanent state of crisis in which we are kept. We see this in the conflict between Europe and Russia over Ukraine, where fear is used to push through billions in weapons without real democratic debate. But it doesn’t stop at geopolitics. We saw the same recipe with COVID-19, and now with climate change and the energy transition. It penetrates into our immediate living environment, such as the Environmental Vision Fryslân or the planned closures of the Wadden nature. While island residents are excluded, the elite discusses coercive 'system changes' at the Springtij Forum on Terschelling. The control over the narrative has now gone frighteningly far. Unheard Netherlands (ON!) is being ousted from the public broadcasting system, and through new legislation, there is an open search for ways to ban right-wing opposition parties. This is exactly where history painfully begins to rhyme with the 1930s, when critical media and parties were gradually silenced under the guise of 'public order' or 'safety'. The lines of this coordinated policy go directly to international networks and think tanks such as NATO, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the UN with their coercive SDGs. Through programs like the Young Global Leaders, politicians worldwide are being trained to roll out exactly the same crisis narratives in their own countries. Our local democracy seems to have become an execution office for a predetermined global agenda. The great eye-opener that Göring left us is that this mechanism works in every system. Once a population is made afraid enough of an invisible enemy (whether it is a virus, an aggressor, nitrogen, or CO₂), it willingly surrenders its freedom, its diverse media, and its common sense. Fear is the ultimate weapon to steer the masses. This pattern only stops when we cease to blindly follow that automatic pilot of fear. Will you let history repeat itself, or will you say no? #politiek #geschiedenis #angst (translated)

"Look for the differences Jetten slime-mongering with Muslims, Jetten with a disclaimer distancing himself from Christian children.

Klopp puts it accurately: In the past, agitation needed ink, an envelope, and patience - today a smartphone and lack of impulse control are enough. The fact that a football coach has to explain to people how coexistence works says everything about the state of the debate. https://t.co/f0p6KyfVhC #Debatte #Gesellschaft #Fußball (translated)

Incredible. Where did the journalists of the Tagesspiegel learn their craft? From what we know, the largest airplane hijacking since 9/11 barely failed. Hundreds, almost exclusively Israeli passengers were supposed to be murdered. But instead of first explaining to the readers who, where, what, when, and how, the political framing comes immediately. In what other news text would one proceed in this way? And of course, they take the most radical statement from Israel that they can find. Sure. What else? The rhetorical trick is easy to see through: Even when there is an attempted mass murder of Jews, Israel is to be immediately portrayed as the actual villain and aggressor. This is incitement. Plain and clear. #Journalismus #Israel #Nachrichten (translated)
