Det norske journalister vektlegger i dette sitatet må være det med å se ut av vinduet. Når de står ovenfor problemer som er ørlite mer komplekse enn hvorvidt det regner, har de ikke bedre strategier til rådighet enn bare å se ut av vinduet.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."

They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

NTBs notoriske nyhetsnotiser: Ren avskrift fra RIA – norske medier sprer det ukritisk videre NTB burde ha som skjermsparer en tekst der det stod: «Absolutt alle russiske aktører kan lyve om absolutt alt. Alle saker bør sjekkes opp mot ukrainske medier. Det er dét dere får lønn for.»

NTB burde ha som skjermsparer for alle sine journalister: «Absolutt alle russiske aktører kan lyve om absolutt alt. Alle saker bør sjekkes opp mot ukrainske medier.» For nei, det er ikke spesielt sannsynlig at Ukraina angrep et russisk atomkraftverk:

Autisten haben oft ein anderes Schmerzempfinden oder chronische Schmerzen, weil sie Ärzten oft nicht gut vermitteln können, was ihnen fehlt. Diese Autisten kriegen dann Kinder und da Autismus genetisch ist, sind diese Kinder oft auch Autisten.

Aber Autismusgrund der Woche klickt besser.

Det er kun Russland som har brutt Budapest-memorandumet Lar vi Russland slippe unna med sine avtalebrudd, er det fort en invitasjon til Russland om nye.

Her har jeg skrevet om at Sigurd Falkenberg Mikkelsen var litt for unøyaktig om Budapest-memorandumet på Dagsnytt 18 i går, og hvorfor dette er viktig å forstå: Lar vi Russland slippe unna, er det fort en invitasjon til Russland om nye avtalebrudd.

Misforstått om pubertetsutsettende behandling Det er uklart for oss hvorfor grunnleggende medisinske og vitenskapelige prinsipper skal settes til side når det er snakk om behandling til transkjønnet ungdom.

T4 was still a recent memory when Lovaas began his work, and recent research has found that he and his whole family were Nazi collaborators in WW2. So conversion therapy is just Nazi shit. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Uredelig atferd? Om nazisme, behaviorisme og forskningsetikk Spiller det noen rolle at fire av Ole Ivar Lovaas´ norske disipler skrev en vitenskapelig artikkel om hans liv, uten å oppdage at han var nazist?

In addition to dehumanizing Autistic people they didn’t find worthy of existence …

Ivar Lovass (the inventor of ABA) & Hans Asperger were both Nazis.

The concern that Autistic ppl have when RFK Jr. wants to start collecting data on Autistic ppl is a legitimate concern.

Es gibt Hinweise, dass Ole Ivar Lovaas, Begründer von ABA für autistische Kinder, während der deutschen Besatzung Norwegens in die lokale Nazijugendbewegung eingebunden war. Eine solche Aufarbeitung ist wichtig, um insbesondere die Anfänge von ABA kritisch zu bewerten . doi.org/10.1177/0952...

Remember how I’ve been saying for years ABA has ties/was invented by fascists and Christian Nationalists???

“Ole Ivar Lovaas himself was an active participant in, and a local leader of, a fascist youth movement.”

Rewriting my previous attempt at a thread because of thumb-induced typos. Touchscreen keyboards should never have been allowed to happen.

So, I wrote recently about how T4 was a recent memory when Lovaas started developing ABA and LGBT conversion therapy using electric shock torture.

To summarize what this means …

the creator of gay conversion therapy & ABA was apparently a Nazi.

Lovaas, ABA-based therapy pioneer, dehumanized and slapped, screamed and electrically shocked autistic children in the name of treatment, and used similar techniques against “effeminate boys”:
he and his family were leaders of a Nazi-collaborative fascist party.

Disse anti-Ukrainske plakatene tar opp 100% av reklameplassen i samtlige vogner på T-banen. Dette må koste en formue.

Finnes det noen gravejournalister igjen i dette landet som kan gjøre jobben sin og følge pengesporet tilbake til de russiske kildene?

That's two now, after Hans Asperger. So the question is: are we still going to allow Nazi ideology to guide our approach to care? If we agree that conversion therapy for LGBTQIA+ is barbaric, then why is it still considered acceptable for autistic people?

Surprise. Der Mann, der Kinder schlägt und ihnen Elektroschocks gibt, damit sie sich weniger autistisch verhalten, hat eine Nazi-Vergangenheit.
