A poll from European Council on Foreign Relations predicts a sharp increase in far-right representation in the next European parliamentary elections, but decency should still maintain power.
I wish I knew how to counter the rising far-right sentiment in Europe. While trends in the US show its far-right declining as Boomers die and Gen Z reaches voting age, the far-right in Europe seems youthful and gaining momentum.
"It was in the countryside that both Mussolini and Hitler won their first mass following, and it was angry farmers who provided their first mass constituency.”

'Israel’s military occupies and destroys Israa University in Gaza. Israa University in Gaza was transformed into a military base by Israel’s armed forces, as confirmed by the university’s official Facebook page.

Jag vill poängtera att det inte är ett ”kritiserat förslag mot barnporr som stoppas”. Det är ett kritiserat massövervakningsförslag som bryter mot Barnkonventionen som tillfälligt ser ut att kunna förhindras.
Let's face facts, we all live in colonialist, fascist, imperialistic, empire like countries, it is knowing the degree of which the majority of the population is willing to put up with, without revolting, that is the art of politics.
Right now many are testing those limits, and your own personal apathy towards their actions.
What do you think is the underlying cause of German, Dutch and Finnish public finances being such a mess compared to the virtuous budgets of Greece and Spain?

We beat EU #chatControl because people took action in mass. This is even worse.
I did another one of those fucked up EU law notices, this time about #eIDAS Article 45. Like with the Chat Control one, feel free to copy and paste this onto your website, just credit me for the text.
Vanligtvis brukar jag behöva sammanfatta problematiken kring massövervakningsförslaget Chat Control 2.0 på fem minuter. I senaste avsnittet av #Loungepodden slapp jag tidspressen, så avsnittet blev över tre timmar (med en inbjudan om att komma tillbaka). En nedklippt version av avsnittet är gratis för alla medan fullversionen är tillgänglig för Loungepoddens patreons.
