U had het al kunnen denken. Waarom krijgen we toch steeds die eenzijdige alarm berichten over klimaat ? Wel , meeste msm krijgen hun klimaat info van AP News, en die hebben wereldwijd meer dan 20 "klimaat journalisten" in dienst betaald door foundations met verstrengelde belangen in de groene energie transitie. So simpel is het : follow the money. https://t.co/SzMx5dvgx4 via @wattsupwiththat #klimaat #nieuws #transitie

Ik heb schoon genoeg van deze selectieve verontwaardiging. Alsof Nederland de slavernij heeft uitgevonden. Alsof de hele wereld eeuwenlang braaf was en alleen wij, de witte duivels, mensen in ketenen sloegen. Slavernij was overal. Afrikaanse koningen verkochten hun eigen volken bij bosjes. De Arabische slavenhandel duurde eeuwen langer en was groter. Aziaten, Ottomanen, Barbarijen, Vikingen, Romeinen, iedereen deed het. Maar nee, het moet en zal een uniek Nederlands erfzonde-verhaal worden. Eeuwig schuld, eeuwig boete, eeuwig zelfhaat. De geschiedenis van dit land is oneindig veel groter dan die paar generaties koopvaarders. Maar dat mag niet. Alles moet door de lens van schaamte. Alles moet negatief. Alles moet “wit kwaad” zijn. Ik ben echt helemaal klaar met dit gejank. Van deze morele afpersing. Van deze georganiseerde zelfhaat die zich als deugd vermomt. Stop met het verkrachten van de geschiedenis tot een eenzijdig schuldverhaal. Slavernij was een wereldwijde, eeuwenoude realiteit. Nederland was daar onderdeel van. Period! https://t.co/0CoHlgN35A #geschiedenis #slavernij #verantwoordelijkheid
