Wrong. I hate communism because I live in Japan next to Communist North Korea and Communist China and the former USSR.

Together, they killed around 100 million people in the last century (from 1917-now). Three countries... 100 million people dead.

Communism is a death cult.

this would only make sense if the inverse is also true, if there's a group of 10 men and one of them says something feminist and no one disagrees then you have to believe most men are feminist. if you don't apply this logic consistently you just have it out for men in first place

The EU just killed DIY PCB design

With the new tax on imports (3€ per import of each category)
I now would have to pay 3€ for every PCB component that I have to solder at home
I can't buy PCB components in Germany because THEY ARE NOT EVEN MANUFACTURED HERE ANYWHERE ITS JUST CHINA AND AMERICA

So instead of 20 bucks for one prototype PCB with 20 different components
It's now 80€
Fuck you @vonderleyen

Britain can’t stop illegal migrants crossing the Channel, but it can stop Päivi Räsänen, a Christian grandmother and former Finnish Interior Minister, from changing planes at Heathrow.

Christian views on marriage now make you a security threat.

This country has lost its mind.

[PeterSweden @PeterSweden7]

Yesterday an right-wing MEP from Finland was banned from entering Britain to speak at CPAC.

Then police in Belgium stopped him for some time from entering the EU parliament.

He was literally democratically elected to serve in the EU parliament...

A guy named Jonah accidentally built the most useful website on the internet.

It's called Privacy Guides.

This is the website Google would rather you not find, Meta actively lobbies against, data brokers have tried to discredit for years, and the entire advertising industry treats as a direct threat to their business model.

It has been online since 2019. It takes no affiliate money. It runs no ads. Journalists cite it. Security researchers trust it.

Here's how it works.

Privacy Guides is a curated recommendation list. The site itself sells nothing.

It just tells you which private tool actually replaces every surveillance product in your life, tested by security researchers and updated every month, organized into 40+ categories with the exact reason each pick was chosen.

→ Browsers that block trackers and ads by default
→ Email providers that cannot read your messages
→ Search engines that do not build a profile on you
→ Password managers you can self-host
→ VPNs that accept cash and Monero and log nothing
→ Messengers with end-to-end encryption Signal-tier or better
→ Photo apps that do not scan your camera roll
→ Health apps that do not sell your data to insurance companies
→ A custom Android OS called GrapheneOS that strips Google out of your phone entirely

The site is run by a non-profit called MAGIC Grants. Every recommendation goes through a public forum review, a GitHub pull request, and criteria published on the site so anyone can audit why a tool was chosen. No company can pay to be listed. No affiliate link exists on the entire domain.

Google can't shut this down. Meta can't shut this down. Amazon can't shut this down.

The entire $600 billion surveillance advertising industry is built on the assumption that you would never spend one afternoon on this website.

It was bad enough that the Belgian police blocked me and @EvaVlaar from delivering the first 500K signatures of the @SaveEuropeAct, but they also blocked literal MEP’s from accessing the European Parliament. This is completely unacceptable.

If Belgium wants to remain host country of the E.U., this mayor should be sanctioned.

[MEP Sebastian Tynkkynen @SebastianMEP]

Just submitted a formal complaint to European Parliament President Roberta Metsola regarding a severe breach of parliamentary immunity and freedom of movement by Brussels Mayor @PhilippeClose.

Yesterday, 15 July 2026, police under the Mayor’s direct orders prevented me — as an MEP — from delivering over 530,000 citizens’ signatures for the @SaveEuropeAct to the Parliament.

I was physically denied access to my own workplace for over an hour. This is an unprecedented attack on democracy and MEP rights.

Full letter attached.

[MEP Sebastian Tynkkynen @SebastianMEP]

Today, Belgian police blocked me — a sitting Member of the European Parliament — from entering the European Parliament for nearly an hour.

They were on the phone with Brussels Mayor Philippe Close, who was personally directing their actions. We have video footage of the incident.

The Mayor prevented me from delivering over half a million European citizens’ signatures for the @SaveEuropeAct initiative.

This is unacceptable.

The EU is a union of 27 member states. No single country — and certainly not one socialist mayor of a single city — has the right to decide which MEPs from other nations can carry out their democratic duties.

My team and I will launch a formal investigation into the mayor’s conduct.

Elon Musk hat Ursula von der Leyen scharf kritisiert und ihre Darstellung der EU als „Demokratie“ als größte Lüge bezeichnet.

In einer direkten Anfrage konfrontierte Musk die EU-Kommissionspräsidentin:

„Wenn Demokratie die Grundlage der Freiheit ist – warum wird Ihre Position als eine der mächtigsten Führungsfiguren der EU dann nicht direkt vom Volk gewählt?“

Musk warf der Brüsseler Bürokratie vor, nicht gewählte Spitzenfunktionäre würden 450 Millionen Bürgern in der EU Massenmigration, radikale Netto-Null-Politik und massive Einschränkungen der Meinungsfreiheit aufzwingen – ohne echte demokratische Legitimation oder Rechenschaftspflicht gegenüber den Wählern.

„Das ist keine Demokratie“, so der Musk. „Das ist eine Diktatur in Zeitlupe.“

France, Espagne, Italie, Belgique, Pologne, Grèce, Angleterre, Allemagne…des voix s'élèvent pour exiger le démantèlement de l'Union européenne.

IL EST TEMPS DE RÉSISTER.🔥🔥🔥

[Joey Mannarino @JoeyMannarino]

Brussels is now trying to ban the demonstration tomorrow that is in support of the Save Europe Act.

The demonstration was scheduled because the European Parliament has stated they won’t even consider the act once it arrives at 1,000,000 signatures.

This is what democracy apparently looks like.

They not only are banning the act but now even the demonstrate to protest banning the act.

The EU is the new USSR.

[Jesper Bylund -- just/acc @JesperBylund]

The EU has blocked a chat control skeptics talk on YouTube.

But here’s the thing, the content is in Finnish, and Finnish law allows for this exact thing.

So the EU is currently illegally blocking free press in Finland.

“We don’t want any more Muslims in our country. They destroy everything wherever they go.”
— Japanese Young Boy

The Japanese people are generally very cautious about immigration. In many surveys, they view Islam as “radical” or “backward.” Muslims are accepted much less than other foreigners.

We can’t even disagree about movies without leftoids fantasizing about killing us

[Jelle @CryptoJelleNL]

Ursula von der Leyen really saw her Chat Control law get rejected twice and decided to force it through with an emergency vote 5 minutes before the summer break

Talk the talk about Democracy, but she definitely doesn't walk the walk.

Despicable person.

The European Union is going full-on 1984.

🚨🇪🇺EU is dragging Ireland, Spain, France, and the Netherlands to court!

After these countries refused to adopt Brussels’ cybersecurity law that hands total control to the central bureaucracy the EU is pushing for financial penalties.

EU is a totalitarian dictatorship!
