Yea, I see what you mean, and if you don’t know German you’ll likely not notice the ‘not now’ option in the pop-up that lets you keep reading. Kind of annoying but I promise the page is technically not paywalled.
Are you having trouble with republik.ch? It doesn’t have a paywall to my knowledge! But if you prefer, you can head on archive.org without any popups: https://web.archive.org/web/20240910100941/https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Anyone can and does edit it. Heck, I know I have.
If you’ll please just read this interview with someone who has looked into the case in Sweden in great detail.
Unfortunately I’ll be at work at the time but I will be watching it soon after, I’m sure! It feels like a profound moment for humanity, that he can speak freely again. Many people are going to be watching live and hang on his every word. The pressure must be enormous. I’m very interested what he has to say.
Do you believe every rumour started by cops?
Yea. It exists and is a terrible idea. Like it’s a creepy ideology that rears its head in too many places.
Selective breeding of humans is not and never was a good idea. It comes with forced sterilisation, marriage bans, stigmatisation of characteristics contributing to naturally occuring diversity, supremacist thinking and fascist pseudo-scientific tendencies.
Oh yes definitely The Little Prince is a must-read.
The Brothers Lionheart, by Astrid Lindgren is one of my childhood favourites. Originally Swedish but has been translated into English.
The Letter for the King by Tonke Dragt another childhood fav., it has been translated from Dutch. Actually, anything by Dragt I loved, but not sure which have translations or not.
In terms of adult fiction, I was hooked on Stig Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series (he only wrote the first 3 though).
Someone mentioned Kurt Vonnegut; I recommend the one I’ve read of his: Slaughterhouse 5.
The Circle still gives me pause more than 5 years later. It’s by Dave Eggers.
Switzerland is not an EU country…
Lol, what? Australia is a US lackee more than anywhere else. And the CIA was definitely involved in the Whitlam sacking.
Wow, rude.
I tried to watch the video, couldn’t get through it. Hence the request for a tldr. Honestly I’d be fine if just ignored but y’all don’t need to make assumptions about my abilities and hound me for a simple request.
Umm… I don’t follow.
I’m sorry I can’t watch these type of edited fast-paced ramble videos. Give me a 1hr uncut but not this.

and here I thought it was a parody…
Anybody got a TLDR?
Edit: I just want to know, does he talk about third party candidates at all or just telling people to not vote at all?
Edit 2: please?
15yo me gets an angry phone call from the dad where I’d scored a weekly long-term babysitting gig after the first or second night: don’t think for a second that you’re coming back! (I’m paraphrasing here).
I give a one-word reply and he hangs up.
All I did was leave after getting paid without saying bye while they were checking on the kids. (They were asleep). Because I didn’t want to be coerced to get a ride like last time.
Took me years to realise they were in the wrong.
Only a Clinton shill who doesn’t know those emails contain all the dirt the DNC had collected on the Trump campaign would say that.
A New York court ruled this publication, which btw showed the DNC had rigged the primaries / stolen the primaries from Bernie, and pushed media to always talk about Trump in the mistaken Clinton would easily win against him, was First Amendment protected by the highest order.
