#Education is the might that empowers #democracy.

I should never forget that when people help each other to understand this world, they teach each other how to live freely and peacefully in it.

The truth sets you free.

In 2023, Malaysia fiercely defended its 'morality' against a comedian's jokes. In 2025, it stayed silent as its own officials forged documents in a FIFA scandal. The hypocrisy is clear: we police speech but ignore corruption. Real dignity isn't in outrage—it's in honesty and accountability.

@tagesschau Das Establishment arbeitet weiltweit weiter daran, solche NGO wie oxfam in ihrer Arbeit zu behindern. Gerade in den USA und Europa werden Mittel und Möglichkeiten gestrichen, rechtliche Einschränkungen erweitert, die Medien dazu instrumentalisiert.

#Öffentlichkeitsarbeit = #PublicRelations = #Propaganda

Diese Werkzeuge sind wirksam wie #Marketing und #Werbung, führen (auch) in die Irre, wie #Wahlkampf, #Populismus, #Lobbyismus.

Unfortunately, conservatives didn't ignore #KarlPopper and attacked #GeorgeSoros and his #OpenSociety foundation before anyone realized what they were up to, preemptively blunting the progressive response to this round of #fascism.

Wow, #KarlPopper went through a lot of trouble to explain why fascism is bad, and we are just ignoring him.

#Trump s'en prend à nouveau à #Soros et #OpenSociety. Y'a très peu d'acteurs qui financent les asso de défense des libertés numériques européennes. Tout le monde y est passé un jour ou l'autre (LQDN, Access Now, RSF, EDRi, Wikimedia, etc.). https://www.20minutes.fr/monde/etats-unis/4169874-20250828-pourquoi-donald-trump-accuse-encore-george-soros-manipuler-amerique

Hatte bereits 2020 über die antisemitischen #Verschwörungsmythen gegen #Soros & dessen #OpenSociety - Stiftung gepodcastet, die sich den Ideen des großen Liberalen #KarlPopper verpflichtet hat.

Schon damals wurde #Soros von #Orban in #Ungarn attackiert (der selbst 1 Stipendium angenommen hatte), jetzt eben auch von #Trump.

Achtet einfach mal darauf, wer jetzt alles rechts, links & liberal "laut schweigt". Ist interessant.

30 anni fa moriva #KarlPopper e ovviamente una vignetta è svilente del suo pensiero. Ma visto che la maggior parte di noi domani non discetterà di #filosofia in un'aula universitaria, e molto più probabilmente parteciperà ad una conversazione in ufficio, al bar o in coda al supermercato, è sempre utile tenere a mente questo paradosso #opensociety

Liberal democracies that defend enlightenment principles don't ban books.

"But last year, as book bans surged across Florida, they decided that their town needed an independent bookstore where titles that had been purged from libraries and classrooms would be on prominent display."

An #opensociety requires that debates are carried out in an honest, fair, and respectful way. It is not always easy to detect whether a debater respects these principles. Populists use all kinds of rhetoric tricks to manipulate people. In order to prepare a TV show on #Populismus, German science communicator Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim has launched an experiment on populism on YouTube and most of German’s press fell for it. Absolutely brilliant! https://youtube.com/watch?v=GtBnj3Z3eO4&si=UTIBlED86Y0gqHHC

A Fulton County judge on Thursday said that all court proceedings in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants will be live streamed and televised

@danluu And folks, this is why we SHOULD be working on making the algorithm and the code and these things happening behind the scenes open for the public. Only by seeing this with our own eyes we can realize how this can pose a risk to, let me say it please, our understanding of how the world, the economy and 21st Century's democracies work. This repo is a #MustSee.

Free online event with the Director of the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford, and Head of Gardens Libraries and Museums at the University, Richard Ovenden.

"Richard Ovenden looks at the central role that libraries and archives play in ensuring knowledge and history are preserved; how political, religious, and cultural motivations can drive censorship, book banning and other threats to our open and civil society, and how the work of libraries and archives are pillars for open society and in support of democracy."
