      A few nice paragraphs. But I disagree with the lock. If a murderer explains where the motive came from, how he planned and carried out the murder, then that is no reason for me to grant him amnesty.

    And then it all happens again because you never removed the wrongdoing.

    Amnesty can only take place after acknowledging that you were wrong and after you can tell what you are going to do about it so that it does not happen again.

    It's that simple, but for most so hard, it is.

    Ego is a bitch.

    '... in order to achieve the optimal management of the population.'

    More accurate would be: ' ... in order to achieve the optimal management of society for the benefit of the population.'

    Small but, in my opinion, an important difference. 🙂

      I get your point, could certainly be, but because the emphasis here is on manipulating the individual citizen with colored information, I'll leave it at that. Thanks for the suggestion in any case.

      Ah, in that case you have formulated it correctly. 😆👍 Thank you for your explanation.

    Nice column again. As a critical thinker from the first hour, it strikes me how many of the sharp edges I had almost forgotten myself. So that's pretty fast. But when I saw the video, that ugly, totalitarian oppression of the unvaccinated came back to my memory. Which filled me with the same horror, fear and hatred that I have felt many times in recent years. Things are now a lot better. But is it because people have repented? Or is it because of the mildness of Omikron, which no longer allows medical dystopia? I suspect the latter. If 'the numbers' had risen again this autumn, we might have just seen a repeat of moves. That is why talking about amnesty cannot be discussed at this stage. With a big flu wave this winter, I still have to see what happens. Most of the population still does not realize that there is an attack going on our freedom. In a broader sense. The negative consequences of the policy of recent years are also far from fully visible, let alone that people can be held accountable for them.

    Truth and Reconciliation Commission? Like in South Africa after Apartheid. Seems to me the least and also sufficient for followers who have only been nasty by showing their true colors.
    For those responsible for large-scale death by guilt, it seems to me that prosecution with punishments that match the seriousness of the offenses is the only possible way to achieve social closure.
    I personally try to forgive in my own circle of friends – although, there is no remorse at all! In my circle of acquaintances, people who earn good incomes at Pfizer are Jansen and so on. They continue to live/drive nicely and, if the boss asked, would do exactly the same thing again.
    Haben Sie es nicht gewusst? Who Mengele? Too bad then. Let the judge speak.

      Let the judge speak? Sorry, but also the trust in the judiciary is gone, completely gone. Judges only protect the incumbent. Certainly at the Council of State that under Thom de Graaf (D66) is completely politicized.
      Do you remember the judge who dared to rule that the curfew was unlawful? Within 24 hours (!!!) he was overruled by an appeal ruling.

      @Theo Unfortunately, you're absolutely right.

    Forgiveness can only be given AFTER confession and the promise to improve your life. Those who are aware of their guilt also accept the possible consequences (e.g. resignation, imprisonment, fine,...). Those who do not prepare are possibly. to accept consequences shows that he has no remorse, has learned nothing and has no intention of improving his/her life.
    Good article by the way.
