Spinoza considère que vaincre le mal en s'attaquant à ses causes profondes est plus utile que de passer son temps à s'indigner, se lamenter, détester et condamner, ce qui nous dispense le plus souvent d'agir.

a statement by 36+ mayors of European cities, incl. #Paris & #Berlin:

"...We, European mayors, condemn in the strongest possible terms the arrest of our colleague Ekrem Imamoğlu, Mayor of #Istanbul, and of local elected representatives in #Turkey.

We denounce his arbitrary imprisonment and... the repeated attacks on fundamental rights and municipal freedoms. These arrests ... mark a new stage in the violation of democratic principles in Turkey..."

“Ankara is too important an ally to alienate, no matter what happens on the streets of Istanbul, politicians and officials tell POLITICO.

The European Union is set to keep pumping billions of euros into Turkey despite President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s sweeping crackdown on political opponents.”

Write him a fucking blank cheque, why don’t you, you spineless, racist blocks of cheddar. And why? Because he helps keeps the Brown people away from our pristine white shores.

I swear the next person who uses the words “European values” non-sarcastically in my presence will wish they’d stayed in bed that morning.
