X axes European Commission’s ad account after €120M EU fine – POLITICO
www.politico.eu

MAGA’s mission to meddle in European politics should terrify Starmer, Macron and Merz. Will any of them fight back?

Donald Trump has launched a crusade to convert European politics to his cause, mobilizing the full force of American diplomacy to promote “patriotic” parties, stamp on migration, destroy “censorship” and save “civilization” from decay.

The question is whether Europe’s embattled centrists have the power, or the will, to stop him. In its newly released National Security Strategy document, the White House set out for the first time in a comprehensive form its approach to the geopolitical challenges facing the U.S. and the world.

While bringing peace to Ukraine gets a mention, when it comes to Europe, America’s official stance is now that its security depends on shifting the continent’s politics decisively to the right.

    Every time I said this, I get downvoted.

    People on here get really weird about and start downvoting and insulting people who call it X, because they refuse to accept the stupid new name… What are you clinging on to? Twitter is DEAD.

    Yes, the new name, X is stupid. It’s now the Nazi platform X, accept that and stop using the Nazi platform. Your line in the sand is way further back than it should be, you can’t keep using the platform and insist you’re giving the finger to Elon by calling it Twitter.

    Stop using Twitter, accept that Twitter is dead. Stop using the Nazi platform.

      Twitter was always terrible and I’ve never had an account to quit, so the whole “Twitter is dead, call it X to respect the dead” argument doesn’t work for me. I will how ever continue to deadname twitter so long as Musk continues to deadname his daughter.

      I’ve gotten pushback from places I really wouldn’t have imagined for saying that we all need to kill our social media, starting with Twitter.

      I do not care if you keep a facebook account open just to talk to your dear aunt Ethel over the holidays but PLEASE, Lemmy lefties… speaking directly at you right now.

      DO NOT KEEP USING TWITTER.

      When you use twitter you generate views for other things, those views translate into monetary rewards for people in other countries who have been paid to destabilize your country. You are not saving anyone, you’re not helping anyone. It’s a half-dead platform that empowers some of the worst people in the world.

      “But people use it in other countries to organize resistance and several other excuses that make me sound addicted!”

      I do not care. They have other means. You’re not a revolutionary. Just put it away and spend that scrolling time walking and meeting people and reading about local progressive candidates in your area you can back and support and actually make a fucking difference instead of trying to get your twitter arguments clipped and shared on reddit.
