Elon Musk and his Russian friends call for the abolishment of the EU
@eunews if you try saying the US should be abolished so each state would be autonomous he'd call you an anti-american radical leftist

@reiddragon
Actually I don't think so. That's literally what the r right wing libertarians more or less want, a completely castrated federal government. What is exactly what project 2025 is about.
What DOGE was about.

Because again dealing with the individual states, especially if they have to compete against each other, it's way easier.
@eunews

@yacc143 @eunews only while Democrats are in power so Republican-ran states can do their bullshit, but now that Republicans are in charge of the federal government, they're violating the authority of states all the time, sending ICE and the national guard all over the place to seize control of places ran by democrats that aren't cooperating doing the fascism
@reiddragon @eunews @yacc143 seconding this - nobody in the US (aside from Libertariens maybe) wants a small government. When the GOP says they want to reduce the size of government, they mean specifically austerity and the ending of social welfare programs. But they're very happy to have a very large police state to enact their own right-wing agenda.

@reiddragon
If memory serves, at least for some libertarians the end game are city states governed by corporations. With that pesky democracy thing gone for good, replaced by the rule of money, or as they like to put it, genius.

Ignoring that being rich is in our system seldom correlated with even being clever.
@eunews

@yacc143 @eunews it's not libertarians that dominate the american right wing, it's technofascists (like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and most other Silicon Valley types) and theofascists (like The Heritage Foundation). Genuine right wing libertarians are a fringe minority within yhe american right wing

@reiddragon
It's a mix of them.

Call it an unholy coalition. That can agree on a small intersection set, and sometimes that can lead to odd meetings when an anti-Semite supporter meets a Jewish supporter and they start to discuss if Jews should be exterminated.

But yes the current breed of (US) fascists carry a number of libertarian ideas with them, even if their whole program was such might be incompatible.

@eunews

@reiddragon
Let me be more precise, the libertarians would probably prefer to do away with the whole federal government at least in practical means.

The Trump regime is delivering the dismantling of the administrative state while at the same time even building up the repressive state power (his whole personal hooligans, well funded ICE).
@eunews

@reiddragon @eunews Would a leftist demand something like that?
@leobm @eunews what actual leftists would demand is immaterial to what these people would say: "radical leftist" isn't a term they use genuinely, but rather as a euphemism for enemies of the state. My point was sinply to highlight the hypocrisy of how the US federal government is somehow good despite it having unilateral power to override state power, meanwhile the EU parliament and associated institutions are bad for state sovereignty evem though the EU can't do shit without state cooperation.
@eunews I believe that Elon Musk should be fined into destitution by the EU

@eunews
Three words to Elon: "Go fuck yourself."

Nobody here asked your opinion. Just ruin one continent at a time.

@eunews Russia should do it first.
@eunews lost his ketamine bottle again, has he? Hang in there, Elon. You might just get your 1 day sobriety token.
@eunews
The answer of the Polish government is so so great!

@abies77 @eunews

I prefer the never-come-back line to Pluto. He could come back from Mars.

@Terranerin
What ever happened to Mission One, by the way? As the name suggests, there are only one-way tickets - and the distance between Mars and Earth is certainly enough ;)
@abies77 @eunews
@abies77 @eunews It looks like they're trying to put the blame for the "AbolishICE" movement on the EU, by using this as some kind of Counterhashtag.
We should dismiss it, but we need to be more clever about this.

@eunews
The Russian Federation should be abolished and sovereignty returned to individual oblasts and republics, so that governments can better represent their people.

The United States should be abolished and sovereignty returned to individual states, so that governments can better represent their people.

@mattjhodgkinson @eunews This. With other countries as well, break germany in half
@mattjhodgkinson @eunews Elected "mayors" should be abolished (along with the PCCs) and powers and money returned to individual councils, so that they can better represent their people.
@TimWardCam @eunews Genuine devolution is a good principle.
@mattjhodgkinson @eunews Agreed. But not the fake "devolution" which consists of taking power and money away from councils and centralising it.

How many European politicians still give interviews to Russia TV?

How many businesses from the #EU advertise on that channel?

Ohhh . . .

The giga-troll can free hate-speech all he wants in Magaland. The world needs neither him nor his companies.

Can we get a list of companies from #Europe that still spend money on #Maga #Musk's #X?

Just so that 450 million consumers can make an informed choice.

EU hits X with €120 million fine over breaking digital rules

The European Commission has accused X of misleadingly authenticating user accounts with blue ticks, withholding data from researchers and not transparently signposting advertisements.

@eunews
They mean that corporate overlords have only small countries to deal with.

It's much easier to bully small countries, that literally are smaller in all relevant metrics than the corporations that are doing the bullying.

Sorry as a citizen of a small country who has lived there before we joined the EU, I think I'll pass on that future.

@eunews Devide and conquer. Same old same old.
@eunews It is just so much easier to push around and put pressure on smaller countries.
@eunews you just know the Russians have compromat about Trump and Musk and it very probably is video of their pedophile rape tendencies
@eunews They are sovereign. lol. A key aspect of sovereignty is the right to enter into agreements and treaties with other nations. That is exactly what they have done. If a country like The UK wants to renegotiate those agreements they can, which is what the foolhardy brexit was.
@eunews does anyone really think old ketamine for brains has a fucking clue how the eu functions?
@eunews that is why we need to abolish billionaires, they thing they are king of the world
@eunews Ahah Medvedev... While the Moscow oligarchs rules a 17 million km2 and 145 million people cultural area. Let’s talk about scalling sovereignity.

The first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club.

The first rule of the useful idiot club is you don't know you're in the useful idiot club.

@eunews greediest man in the world all bitter because he has to comply with legislation which prevents him exploiting people. Cry me a river greedy boy

@Eurospoofer @eunews who deserves a missile strike more, a miscellaneous fishing boat netting at night like people have done for a thousand years, or the loudest billionaire.

Nobody earns a billion dollars. They under paid hundreds of thousands and used monopoly influence to leverage money from millions of customers by limiting choices.

@eunews All of his companies and businesses must be closed down and banned from the EU immediately.

@eunews

Billionaires and trillionaires should be beheaded.

@eunews Something.. something blah blah.. r federation.. many colany countries.. blah blah..
own sovereignty so their governments can rule their own ethnic people and speake their native tongue
Dim_mad_under_developed "Exactly".

@eunews who forced those goverments to join EU in the first place? All countries had to follow joining procedure and a referendum. It's not like EU said "oh yeah you're in now"

And it's not like leaving is impossible. I mean, UK left.

@eunews shut the dead bird site down
#mastadoine

@eunews

Fuck these traitors…

@eunews free passage worldwide, free work worldwide, down with eu and other nationalists.
@eunews Skum is FOS. EU must stand together & impose the rule of law on Musk & his anarcho-capitalist chums.
@eunews bet he has no issues with similar organizations like the African Union or Russia's own Eurasian Economic Community (correct me if i used the wrong name for the latter, as its rusty knowledge for me)
