“Social media gives the right to speak to legions of imbeciles who previously only spoke at the bar after a glass of wine, without damaging the community. They were immediately silenced, but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It’s the invasion of imbeciles.”
“I social media danno diritto di parola a legioni di imbecilli che prima parlavano solo al bar dopo un bicchiere di vino, senza danneggiare la collettività. Venivano subito messi a tacere, mentre ora hanno lo stesso diritto di parola di un Premio Nobel. È l’invasione degli imbecilli” (Umberto Eco 2015) #socialmedia

Before this year ends, 1.2 million Russians will have fallen in Ukraine. That is 200,000 more fallen since June, and by June 2026, another 200,000 will perish.

232 years ago the people of France forced the body of Louis the XVI into the guillotine, to rid themselves of the cruel dictatorship.

It appears the Russians have not yet found the courage… But maybe after 2 million fallen? Or 3 million perhaps?

The day will come.

It's ironic that @EUCommission and European public representatives keep using X as their main social network, after Musk calls for the abolition of the European Union.
Removing #X is not just a matter of #DigitalSovereignty, it's a matter of dignity for #Europe. #ItsTimeToAbolishX. #EU
