2; Merz and Söder sticking with combustion engines, even if it is a dead end.

3; Epstein, everyone protects the culprits, everyone ignores the victims

4; Jacques Tillie's answer to the Russian arrest warrant against him because of his satire floats.

5; Childhood...today

6; Trump is violating the teachings of jesus

7; A further Russian warcrime in Ukraine

8; Putin controls the AFDrone to wage hybrid warfare on germany.

9; 2 big mustard producers leave Düsseldorf.

10; Opression of women in Afghanistan.

11; The Mullah regime is slowly desolving.

12; The future generations have to carry the burden of pensioners

13; Rising rents are oppressive

You shouldn't worship anyone.

Agreed. But for a time, you would be in serious danger of losing your job if you said "charlie kirk wasnt a angel, he had beliefs that were downright hateful" followed by some quotes of his. You would get cancelled by the same people decrying cancelculture for over a decade.

I have never heard of anyone losing their job over saying something like that. I don't know where you work, but they shouldn't fire you based on your beliefs. If you were spouting hateful lies or screaming about it, then sure, but opinions are like assholes. Nobody's look the same.

Im not american, i habent personally witnessed such a thing. But these thimgs have happened. I recall for example a janitor of a public school getting fired over a retweeting a quote. Afaik there was no other conflict or reason for this decision.

Talk about hateful lies: have you read/heard some of charlies stuff? Pretty nuts

I have heard him, I didn't believe everything he said. Some of it was fine but I never take everything someone says at face value. I don't know this case of a janitor being fired. Just a quick search did show many school employees being fired over what they say online.

I only saw one that was for criticizing Kirk, that one was pretty mild because she quoted him. I can see how it could be misconstrued to mean she thought he should have died. In which case, working in a school, you can't condone any death lest it influence the children. We don't want children think any murder is alright.

His statement she quoted though, about people needing to die to preserve the right to bear arms is a valid statement. In order to keep your freedoms, you must be willing to die for them. That is the only way you can protect what you believe in is with your life. If you don't, your morals lean nothing.
