L'Unione Europea Γ¨ "lβunica istituzione sul pianeta" che ha il potere di legiferare e incidere sulle politiche delle piattaforme social.
Γ soprattutto per questo che Elon Musk e i broligarchi attaccano l'UE, e sono disposti ad andare fino in fondo per distruggerla.

Buone notizie dalla Germania. Se la Sinistra fa la Sinistra, accresce i consensi. La scoperta dell' acqua calda? Probabilmente sì, ma se consideriamo che della crisi valoriale della SPD scriveva già Foucault in Nascita della biopolitica, forse non del tutto.
Just your ordinary Italian right-wing media, using crude and ignorant stereotypes around Germany to stigmatise the fact that the post-Nazis of ADf won't be part of the new government.
The AfD, however has influenced almost every party's policies in the German political arena.
I see a lot of desperation about German election. #BTW25
Let me provide a perspective from Trumpland:
AfD will win at most 25%, which means that 75% do NOT vote for far right! That is still a strong democratic mandate. Use it to strengthen democracy! Don't empower the far right unnecessarily!
And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.
