EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year::The European Union is pulling its advertisements from Elon Musk’s X for now, citing an “alarming increase” in hate speech and disinformation on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
I feel like the EU is one of the few forces of good in the world these days.
It is not. But it has been doing some right things when it comes to privacy protection and so on.
Still, Trump’s border wall and caged children are merely cute compared to the shit going on at the borders of the EU.
I disagree. The EU is one of the best things that ever happened to us Europeans, who knows, we might be fighting another war if history went different.
Politically, the EU spins around between based decisions and crap like chat surveillance, but over all, it has been a major contributor to the high standard of life in Europe, I’m convinced of this.
What kind of things should I think of?
Not for long we all get very right to fascist governments the next year’s and things will go south. Germany with a CDU/AFD coalition, Le pen in France, if those two happen I see a dark future ahead, but hey climate change will bite us in the ass anyway. Why not go under under fascist leadership…
We’re not very good at learning from the past, are we?
Until you find out it lets Muslim immigrants (80% of whom prefer sharia law over eu law) take over entire towns & countries.
Yeah, that’s not happening. Nice far right conspiracy theory though.
It got me banned from reddit, but I ain’t even half right nor even a bit extremist. I just walked around in Rotterdam, Almere, Marseille, Barcelona and such. Have you?
I have. I have even lived in and right next to the widely decried “no-go zones” of Sweden, and can testify that the whole thing is a pile of racist bullshit.
Sweden hahahahaha try Marseille after 7pm!
Are these really the towns that are taken over by “sharia law”? Can you give examples of what you saw?
Don’t do that. I did NOT say those words. You ARE CHANGING WHAT I SAID. fu
Which country has Muslim immigrants taken over? Name it please.
Most of Middle East and North Africa from 7th century on. Most of the area of current Spain and Portugal was under Islam rule for 5 centuries.
Currently? Sweden’s Malmö is probably the closest example of a slowly happening “takeover”.

Just like the Jews were taking over Germany, right?
Yes, it’s possible that it’s a similar hyperbole and nothing to worry about ultimately.
The reasons why jews were hated/distrusted in history seem to be different from the reasons why muslims are.
Mans still salty the Ottomans conquered Al Andalus 500 years later
Which port town? Rotterdam, Marseille, Barcelona, etc
Because countries arnt yet at that level.
30-40% of babies born are non European decent.
I’m not even saying that’s a bad thing. But ANYONE THAT PREFERS SHARIA LAW OVER EUROPEAN (OR RESPECTIVE COUNTRY’S) LAW, should NOT be in Europe.
Thinking that any political opinions are fundamentally “Non-European” is a fundamentally totalitarian and racist mindset. I reject your attempts at gatekeeping my politics based on your arbitrary and chauvinistic ideas of “European” values. But hey, there is nothing more inherently European than racism, so I guess you’re living up to your own ideals there.
I did NOT say that. Read again. Idiot?
I specifically mentioned EUROPEAN LAW vs SHARIA LAW and the fact that 80% of European Muslims prefer the latter.
THAT’S A FACTUAL STATEMENT FROM A LARGE PUBLIC INQ.
Source
Google it. Wilders website has a source. Be less lazy.!
No, you don’t get to make claims and then tell other people to resarch it. Either you back up your claims with reputable sources, or you shut up. The burden of proof is on you and you alone, so get to it.
Clearly it’s a very insignificant and easily dismissed source if you even don’t remember it.
What about anyone who prefers judeochristian law over EU law? How about
We’re not idiotic Americans. Of the native population, only a small percentage wants church rule
Can you mention some of all of these alleged “Sharia controlled” towns and, eh, countries?
That is not at all what I said. I said the mayority of Muslims in Europe prefer sharia law. You are CHANGING my words. That sick fundy behavior.
Your unchanged words:
Provide examples then. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and the burden of providing such evidence is on the claimant and no one else.
And surely if you have a numeric figure like 80% for the proportion of Muslim immigrants in the EU who supposedly prefer sharia law, you can cite the source in which the statistic came from, and the source will list their data collection and analysis methodology which will also surely be logically and mathematically sound, right? Riiiiight?
Can we get an example of a town that’s been “taken over” in this manner? Your words.
I mentioned a whole bunch, try going to non tourist areas of Marseille, Rotterdam, paris, Etc after 7pm.
Yeah I read all your weird, totalitarian ranting, but you didn’t prove anything to anybody.
Oww people downvote me… Scary!
Totalitarian… Like those tankie governments where the leaders have impunity and party in Miami and have their money in Geneva while the locals can’t buy meat? Fu
Ya know, it seems like when you get called put and can’t defend your claim, you’d save face and delete the post instead of continually doubling down and looking like an even bigger shithead. Most sensible people would know this is a losing strategy.
Wow I loose internet points, now what?
Dude seriously you guys obviously are ignorant Americans. Don’t try and talk Europe to a European. My opinion won’t change because you guys have Mexicans and blacks and we have Muslims…
The only people worried about mexicans and blacks here are fascists. Interesting, huh?
We also have Muslim immigrants fyi. In fact, he wasn’t Muslim I think, but an immigrant from Syria got kinda famous for leading a tech company in the US. You might’ve heard of him, Steve Jobs?
If you’ve ever been to Marseille, Paris or Rotterdam, you’d know that is categorically incorrect.
I personally live in an area with a higher Muslim population, but nobody here wants Sharia Law. Nor to take over any towns.
You should be less gullible about places you’ve never been to, and things you know little about.
Maybe read the inquiry, it’s not sucked out of my thumb. Ask wilders for the source.
Twitter is filled with idiots who’ll pronounce London/Paris/wherever is under Sharia law. Never seems to occur to them that this is very easy to fact check.
I definitely did not say that they were under sharia law. I made several factual statements. But ALL of you manage to Twist my words. Sick rethoric!
You know, you can’t imply something and complain that we understood it
Nah you tried to imply something not born out by reality and got downvoted for it.
Read my original words. It says 80% of Muslims in Europe would prefer sharia vs euro law.
That’s the result of a large scale double blind inquiry. It’s not implying anything it’s just reality.
Ps i actually like Muslims. More as insane xtians… At least they don’t twist and change their books words every few years…
80% of christians would prefer christian law over any government law. So would Jews. Both have committed mass genocides to reach that goal.
Now what was your point?
Err, what was yours?
Hahahahahahahahaha what???..? Maybe in the us… In Europe that is a most ridiculous statement…
They’re not consciously letting Muslims take over towns just to willingly destroy their own country. It just so happens that decades of poor foreign policy by the West have destabilised the Middle East (that’s not to say Middle Eastern countries also don’t have their own agency to improve their own situation) creating massive inflows of refugees. And the EU, which happens to be next door, had to take in refugees from Muslim-majority country. Or else what? Let them die or shelterless?
I can hear some already asking why won’t neighbouring Muslim countries take in their fellow Muslim refugees? They have the same culture and would cause few tension, right? These countries already did. Turkey alone took three million Syrian refugees. They have the majority of Muslim refugees, not Europe. But the Western media with their parochial, in-group bias over-report and overemphasise tensions with Muslims migrants. Turkey has the same problem to the point that immigration has become a sticking point in the last Turkish presidential election. The left-leaning rival candidate reluctantly had to resort to anti-immigration rhetoric in the last days before the election to boost ratings. You won’t hear that in mainstream news in the West, won’t you?
Really, these news of EU wrecking itself by “allowing migrants thanks to open borders” is literally fake news. People sympathise with that racist and far-right rhetoric without viewing the full picture. But I guess people are still tribal with our un-evolved lizard-brain to think in heuristics and stereotypes. We just easily buy in to the angry rhetoric.
Also, I definitely agree that mass migration is causing tension, I’m not denying that. However, climate change is worsening domestic situations in developing countries on top of poor foreign policies. The Arab Spring, Syrian civil war, and conflicts in Africa is exacerbated by climate change as drought worsens, which leads to more hungry mouths which then leads to social and political tensions as they blame their governments. Refugees then leave and risks travelling through deserts, mountains and sea to more stable places like Europe. What is the EU going to do? Let them drown? And then they get blamed for massacring civilians? Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Edit: spelling
Correcto, I’m definitely not blaming anyone.
But I do know walking around my home town on a Friday evening is not possible anymore.
Whatever anyone says doesn’t change that.
That sounds like a policing problem?
I love how fascists always blame the victims for the problems that fascists caused.
Blame? Fascists? Cause? I don’t remember talking about any of that…
Of course you don’t.
Funny. Maybe quote my text if you think you are correct…?
