If you think current social media is bad, wait until the metaverse and mixed reality are widely adopted in exchange for endless entertainment and free shit 💩, disinformation and misinformation is nothing in comparison to what’s coming. Your attention is your world, your reality.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

The amount of hate and disinformation about the European Union that is being spread en masse on X these days proves Ursula von der Leyen right. Organized hostile forces are only seeking to destabilize the EU under the guise of freedom of expression. They fear us.

I think the EU countries should collectively call the U.S. ambassadors to explain why the United States plans to undermine the EU like a hostile power.
Apparently it can always get worse. The full version of the new U.S. National Security Strategy, aptly named “NSC-1488” by the wags, calls for actively pulling Poland, Austria, Hungary and Italy from the #EU. And supporting far right.
US sides with Putin.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.
