@wackJackle @EUCommission You were faster, because that were the exact first words that came to my mind!

Dear comission, go fuck yourself!

@joaocosta @jnfrd @EUCommission Have you lived under a rock for the last 15+ years and haven't seen what the EU commission normally stands for in all this time but suddenly there's money? Second: It's the EU commission, they have no power to give 820 billion euros to the military industrial complex so what the fuck is she talking about?
@wackJackle @joaocosta @EUCommission itโ€˜s von der Leyen. She sure has many friends at Rhein Metal

@jnfrd @wackJackle

Sorry guys, you lost me there. Why is unlocking funds and loans to urgently investing in defence a bad thing when the US has turned soviet and the russians are at our gate armed to their teeth?

@EUCommission

@joaocosta @jnfrd @wackJackle @EUCommission #EU is not perfect, but your views are very simplistic. #Germany under Merkel had a key role back then with Greece and the cause of problems in the first place was corruption by a party that is now still in power in Greece. Regarding #AfD - yes #Putin amplified them, but #Germans should have been louder when #Pegida started and maybe there wouldnโ€™t be a nazi problem now.
@ashtime @joaocosta @jnfrd @EUCommission Well, I mostly agree. Austerity is a problem also in Germany and now picture what they're gonna tell you what follows afterwards we spent our future money on weapons.
@wackJackle @joaocosta @jnfrd @EUCommission Well I expect they will, however we should be more active politically and vote and demand better things, propose solutions. From experience I can say that starting in your local area is the best way forward. We can demand change and organize, not wait to be gaslighted.
@ashtime @joaocosta @jnfrd @EUCommission Yes, we should do that while also expecting to change nothing in the broader spectrum of thinking because right now we have to defend this little room which is worth fighting for and they're all attacking this room right now.
@wackJackle @joaocosta @jnfrd @EUCommission Yeah, I know itโ€™s depressing, but we should not give up on doing something - we can lead two fights - to keep us safe and to define what our society will look like - it somehow goes together. You do not only defend a room, space, land , but also the mind and ideas. The times we are in are maybe the best to kickstart changes that we want to see - at least plant the seeds and nurture them.
