The founder of this blog

Filip Spagnoli

Quote: “I’m an independent. I’m neither left nor right. Or both if you want. I want redistributive justice but not the Nanny State. Diversity but not tolerance of intolerance. Tradition but not inequality and bigotry. Law and order but not discrimination of minorities. Freedom but not license. Democracy promotion but not imperialism. I’m a-religious. Or agnostic. I don’t believe in God but I can’t say that I believe there is no God either. I do believe that almost every problem in life can be reduced to a problem about HUMAN RIGHTS. Human rights are my philosophical passion. You can find my latest book on human rights here. (My other books are here)”.
