En evenzo FvD en PVV...

D66 zou beter moeten weten maar als het op arbeidsmarkt en economisch beleid aankomt, heeft het bedrijfsleven het daar voor het zeggen. En uiteindelijk gaat dat in zee met extreem rechts als het moet. Opnieuw de les uit Weimar en Nazi Duitsland

Lijkt mij ook een goede boodschap aan adres VVD, die les van Weimar republiek en hoe rechtsliberalen nazis aan de macht hielpen. Met Ja21, FVD en PVV is dat precies wat een minderheids kabinet doet.
Herinner: programma Ja21 gaat tegen de rechtsorde/democratie in volgens Nederlandse Orde Advocaten

Indeed, one of the most subsidized and profitable industries bullying governments for more incentives and more profits is grotesque. Higher drug prices is bad for our health, and does not deliver more innovation www.bmj.com/content/391/...

Miles Davis recorded an album Agharta in 1975

The title was suggested by CBS at the time according to wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agharta... see title

Would those neonazis understand that Miles' Agharta was a vision of a world full of music and so opposite from a white race dominated space?

Embed principles of fairness in its policies like on pharma

Or in general on public service ➑️

The EU is not using its strengths to invest in its own/our infrastructure but doles out money to corporations

Another way is possible

Note that Roger Stone refers to Prospera, the Network State city in Honduras, as a "freedom city."

Trump wants to build ten of these cities on federal land, and Stone makes it clear that these fascist cities are, indeed, the Network State.
