@WengerBalI @The_Davos_Man You are not suggesting air strike and gunboats gunning down rafts or snipers and automated machine guns at the borders? Surely not?

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@prussianleftie @The_Davos_Man Actually Finland did quite a bit: the Helsinki accord that helped to guarantee peace in Europe and the negotiation cold war Detente and pushing the creation of OSCE.

@AnimarchyYT F-16 is stupid and I hate it.

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@StuartDowell_ It is the same hurdle french opposition faced before and during the July revolution in 1830.

@OnlyNowIKnow @VladVexler Not in Finland. She wouldn't be shot.

@VladVexler @The_Real_T_K_ What Putin fancying politicians do you see beyond Farage and Le Pen?

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@Andreas_Schwab @EPPGroup I am going to take this with a grain of salt. Say what you will, privacy regulations should NOT be loosened.

@VladVexler It's not like there are other option but to try and influence Trump. Trying to create our own table of politics is neither feasible or plausible.

@AllanHarand @visionergeo In politics words of political leaders ARE actions.

@JanuszK83989869 @EuropeElects This poll is older and has fewer respondents. The 18th of may one is likely from the Exit poll.

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@CarlistChe @EuropeElects We should remember that a large percentage of the far-right vote during previous elections went to the more moderate candidates. A friend of mine noted that 45% of far-right voters who didn't stay home actually voted for a more centrist candidate.

@BMarjamar @AnimarchyYT Let me add this: It’s not about “civility” for the sake of politeness, but about ensuring that our political culture doesn’t descend into the same moral binary thinking that authoritarian ideologies thrive on.

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@BMarjamar @AnimarchyYT ...with them purely through hostility or blanket condemnation can risk reinforcing the very tribalism and polarization they seek to exploit. Going “no civility” might inadvertently escalate the conflict into a zero-sum struggle where genuine democratic debate becomes impossible.

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@BMarjamar @AnimarchyYT Cutting off these ideologies from the political process is essential — but this must be done in a way that doesn’t simply mirror their tactics of intolerance. While it is absolutely necessary to resist the normalization of fascist or authoritarian movements, engaging...

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@BMarjamar @AnimarchyYT Good, but understand the status quo isn't good.

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@BMarjamar @AnimarchyYT While you’re right that certain actions must be taken to prevent these ideologies from gaining traction (such as legal measures, political organizing, and clear opposition), understand that a purely combative approach risks alienating those who are susceptible to radicalization.

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@BMarjamar @AnimarchyYT ...that alienation, disenfranchisement, and anxiety about the future are so widespread. The allure of authoritarianism often taps into a fear of change and an erosion of trust in the democratic system, particularly among those who feel left behind by economic and cultural shifts.

[Mikael Kurki @n97kurmi]

@BMarjamar @AnimarchyYT What do you mean by acting accordingly?
