When I booked through the platform, I didn't pay attention to who the real provider was. That's why I went to the wrong event. I found it absolutely disgusting how history is interpreted today, how content is given a new meaning and with what persistence this is defended. You get the feeling that we "old people" are stupid and only the younger generation knows how and why things used to be like that.
