I’ve been following the German election campaign very closely and the only time social media was even mentioned was when a young lady in one of the town hall formats asked if there were any plans to deal with the danger of social media in the context of impact on young people’s development. The question was put to Alice Weidel. Her answer was basically “No idea. I haven’t dealt with it yet”.
That was it. Otherwise, the topic wasn’t even mentioned in any discussion round.
But every single discussion round opened with “the topic that every German is talking about”: migration migration migration migration. Wonder why everybody is talking about that?
I would like to emphasize this sentence from the article because it is simply true:
What we do in these next few months will determine whether Europe’s liberal democracy survives or is lost for ever.
Something has to happen NOW, but nobody is talking about it. It’s really exasperating.
That’s actually a pretty good and understandable explanation of what’s going on.
I recently read an article that suggested the best retaliation would be to stop enforcing US intellectual property in the EU. One of the biggest exports they have is media, if we would stop enforcing their copyright it would cost them a lot of money.
As an european I’ve been mentally screaming this over the atlantic for months. GET ORGANIZED NOW! Reach out in your community, protest as much as possible, get armed, learn self defense, stockpile essential goods and most importantly, support each other.
Do not take it down! They are acting exactly according to plan and the next step is to have people like you be afraid to openly display your ideals. Taking down that flag would be a win for them.
I understand that it is frightening and the urge to fly under the radar is growing, but now isn’t the time to take those flags down. It’s the time to fly them high.
My first thought that he put some really bad makeup on his hand…
True. We had a pretty big storm here a couple of years ago and the next day the supermarket shelves were almost empty. We really don’t usually think about how fragile the supply chain is when it comes to a crisis.
David Kriesel is amazing! Didn’t know about this. Very useful.
