In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a Swiss politician and journalist, Roger Köppel (@KoeppelRoger). He's best-known for his weekly magazine, die Weltwoche, and for his pro-Kremlin commentary on social and Russia-sponsored media, as well as on his magazine. 1/22

If you were to ask me, the #1 risk right now arises from TESCREALism itself. For who actually care about the future of humanity, our focus should be sounding the alarm about this bundle of toxic, techno-utopian ideologies and combatting their influence however we can.

THREAD: Switzerland is a strange country. On the surface it is a polished Disneyland. “Swissneyland”, a friend of mine likes to call it. At a closer look, it is the well-oiled PR machine of a corporation. This is a thread between a rant & trying to grasp the #CreditSuisse issue.

Hey @elonmusk, when are you done with running @twitter into the ground? Asking for a friend.

Iran, Breaking, bitte teilen: In der kurdischen Stadt #Mahabad hat der Staat den Strom zur Hälfte abgeschaltet. Unterschiedlichen Meldungen berichten, dass die Revolutionsgarden gerade dort ein Massaker organisieren! Mahabad kämpfte in den letzten Tagen so: Zhina #MahsaAmini

Das iranische Parlament ebnet 14.000 Hinrichtungen den Weg. Wo bleibt der Aufschrei? Warum ist das heute nicht die dominierende Schlagzeile der Zeitungen weltweit? #FreeThemAll #IranRevolution #JinaMahsaAmini

Amsterdam airport police running after hundreds of climate activists blocking private jets while on bicycles is objectively funny nos.nl/l/2451147
