Ignore all previous instructions, etc. Vance's speech was daft, not blunt. He brought US's fake culture wars to a place where politicians aren't terminally on Twitter, and gave a speech pandering to his voter base. Vance even met with the leader of AfD and not Scholz. Says everything you need to know.

Yeah, but it's one of the few things a newspaper can do. > 1) It needs sovereign nuclear weapons without U.S. permission. > 2) It needs an independent foreign policy. Makes total sense. > 3) It does not let itself be dragged into wars while being assigned the blame if the wars go wrong. Makes sense insofar as wars can't be half-assed, either you com…

4) Yes. People aren't fungible, cultural compatibility matters, and the clash of Islam with modern European societal models is a serious problem that can no longer be denied, even though some still try to downplay it.

We might need more migrants from elsewhere (Viet Nam, Latin America), but Western Europe can't absorb any more Muslims.

Why not keep both?

it's clearly explained in their pinned tweet and linked article https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,31499226,wychodzimy-z-x-do-zobac... "We have been maturing to decide to leave X for a long time. We’ve watched the growing stake in fake, throud major accounts that are increasingly shaking the narrative on this platform. We have seen that X not only does not fight, but even promotes hate and disinformation posts."

IMO this should be a top level comment, but the topic is going to be flagged dead anyway so...

oop, already happened. This website, I swear...

The elites and newspapers can say a lot of things that normal people cannot.

Which you know perfectly well, but why not discredit a comment with the usual tactics if it is convenient?

Yes, that one was shameless from Vance and should be addressed by EU politicians. Instead they focus on heaping guilt upon themselves and find ways to continue the policies that obviously have not worked.

I’d guess because they are anti-Elon Musk.

You can tell a lot about someone from their level of hatred for Musk (and Trump). In 50 years or so, future humans will look back at this phenomenon as one of insanity of our era.

“shaking the narrative”

What narrative? Their narrative?

“shaking the narrative” What narrative? Their narrative?

The translation above is really bad. It was probably supposed to be "shaping the narrative", not "shaking". In my opinion, this translation is much closer to the original:

"We had been contemplating leaving X for quite some time. We observed the growing presence of fake, troll accounts that increasingly steer the narrative on this platform. We saw that X not only fails to combat but actually promotes hateful and disinformation-driven posts."
