In the past month I have been speaking out more publicly (mainly via LinkedIn, my only real social media). About what's going on in Iran, immigration, Islamism and covid. Nothing extreme, nothing hateful, I care about love and truth. I tried to write everything in a good and respectful way, however I got into some 1-1 discussions with people who seemed more 'bad faith' or had despicable opinions, for example those praising the hangings, so I called out those people. This is what I experienced: 1. I felt a big relief and really aligned that I spoke about what I believed in is important. 2. I felt (and still feel) fear of being judged and that people will reject or leave me. What does this mean for my business? Will people hire me? And what does it mean socially? No one in my network liked any of my messages, and 5 people have removed the connection with me on LinkedIn. However, I do not want to live in fear and let it govern me. Armin said (paraphrasing) that if you do not get any hate for a long time that you are probably not expressing important things. Something like that. I totally resonate with that. So yeah I want to be able to deal with this, but it is stressful. 3. It was a good learning experience. The way I dealt with the discussions on LinkedIn now compared to three weeks ago is different. I will now always stay respectful (instead of 90% of the time), not insult them. You lower yourself by doing that. Even when people deserve some harsh words, I do not think this really works on a public forum. Curious if you agree with me or not. Also I am sharpening my ideas and getting to know more about what other people think. Being in this place also helps for that even more so. Anyways, if I have to choose between living with integrity and being hated by 90% of people. I have heard integrity defined as still saying and doing what is right even when everyone in the room is against you. I want to choose the first and I hope I am strong enough to keep doing that. Hopefully with less hate then 90%! I do not think it will be that extreme but you never now, close to NL in the UK you can get arrested for a wrong tweet. I think this is the reason why many people don't speak up, for all of these fears I lay out, and this is why you get a silent majority.

5 - July 31, 2026 Live Update From the Liveblog of Friday, July 31, 2026 By Agencies Today, 10:56 am Spain’s Interior Ministry says that, according to its estimates, some 49,000 migrants have crossed into the enclave of Ceuta in North Africa over the past 24 hours, as they rush by sea and land from Morocco. “There was a steady stream of people all night long,” and while arrivals were lower than during the day, migrants “continued to arrive overnight and are still arriving” this morning, a police source says. A total of 18 people died while attempting to reach the Spanish enclave, the source adds. Spain sent military and police reinforcements to Ceuta yesterday after the surge. Ceuta, along with ‌Melilla, another Spanish autonomous city in northern Morocco, represent the European Union’s only land border with Africa. Both cities periodically experience surges in attempted crossings by migrants seeking to reach ​Europe. People gather at Bab Sebta, on the Morocco-Spain border near Spain’s enclave of Ceuta and the Moroccan town of Fnideq, on July 30, 2026. (Abdelmajid BZIOUAT/AFP)
