It is hard to find an explanation for this other than Germany has been co-opted by Russia. Ukraine has been separated from the herd and will surely fall. Putin will be on Germany's…

No, the page was created for "freedom day" (and the consistent predictions that it would unleash an apocalypse).

But the problem is that expertise is used to shut down debate...that is the reason why it is controversial. People do not disbelieve experts because they think they are experts the…

The principle of requiring healthcare staff to get the vaccine is already established. Most countries in Europe already do this. This is not the same thing as requiring all employe…

The ruling that you mention was also used to sterilize disabled people. It is funny that you mention Nazi Germany...they did that there too. But, of course, everyone else is just o…

Okay, so you don't understand what social policy is either. Wow.

It always seemed very tiring to me: work out who the person is, work out what political allegiance they have, and then decide to agree or disagree with them/potentially having to r…

France weighs very heavily. With Germany, they led the move earlier this year for the investment deal with China. The decision was made to become reliant on China, and the pandemic…

I don't think it is only about being personable. That is obviously very important but it is as much about being able to insert yourself into someone else's life and help them. You …

The BMJ, ironically, is prone to publishing articles that make unverified claims without making clear rather significant conflicts of interest. Infamously, they published a largely…

They are going to get popped by journos. Twitter got popped left and right by journos and this was despite the platform being a huge source of revenue for the media, and the owner'…

The working day was 10-16 hours for most of the 19th century. But work then was totally different: a lot of it was piece-rate work, most factories didn't directly employ anyone, et…

You have explained the mindset I am referring to. Thanks. Saved me time.

How do you think scientific progress happens? They didn't just have flame wars in the past, they literally set humans alight. Even today, science is a very emotive topic (I studied…
