So much for free speech in Yerp.
I do not like travelling there anyway,
I wonder if I can set up a proxy profile in Orwellian Germany so I can be a flagged influencer to prevent "politically incorrect "speech? That would be fun.

The EU is working at full speed to complete its online surveillance-and-informant network. By the end of the year, all EU member states are required to present so-called “Trusted Flaggers” -- institutions tasked with identifying “problematic” content -- to Brussels for accreditation. Politicians from Germany’s Christian Democratic Union appear especially eager.
Hendrik Wüst, CDU politician and Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia, is a child of the current zeitgeist. As the leader of Germany’s most populous state, he views it as his mission not merely to preach the dominant ideology of the CO2-neutral society, but to enforce it rigorously. Together with his Green coalition partner, he works tirelessly to transform what was once Europe’s industrial heartland into an economic wasteland, perfectly aligned with the ideological fantasies of Brussels’ chief engineers.
Out with nuclear power, end coal-fired electricity -- NRW must become “green.” And Wüst celebrates the coming economic collapse, soon to crown himself the king of debt, presiding over his own Rust Belt and mass unemployment. This disaster will secure him a special place in the history of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Censorship and Opinion Management
But this is only one side of Wüst’s political mission. The Münsterland native naturally also embraces the zeitgeist-approved fight against “hate and incitement” -- that political doctrine used to suppress unwelcome opposition through moralizing poison darts, censorship, and the quiet threat of consequences. Wüst is the ideal politician of our time: ideologically flexible to the point of eco-socialist maximum contortion.
To give his convictions material force, Wüst pushed early for the use of so-called “Trusted Flaggers” -- institutions that scan online content for political cleanliness. His favorite: So Done GmbH, a private software outfit that has not yet received official flagger status but has previously been contracted by politicians such as Robert Habeck to hunt down critics.

They have a totalitarian streak don’t they?
Why are we protecting these nasty fools from the Russians? Similarly with the Brits.
Serious question.

It's been said that whenever music is playing, they break out into their favorite national dance - the goose-step.
Apropos... both figuratively and literally. Stick a fork in 'em.
I am flagging Menes to you so he can accuse you, too, of using worn out outdated memes that have nothing to do with the neofascism that the antifascists are introducing to Europe to fight the fascism of our fascist king in the white house.
1984. A tad late but sometimes it takes longer to subjugate folks.

I have always believed that Satan’s Antichrist will arise from the European Union
But the Middle East is also a real possibility
Yet totalitarian EU and China get trade deals while our non-enemy Russia gets the sanctions.

Germany gave us Marxism and Fascism, and now the next Socialist -ism as if it were something new.
You are welcome to do so, Mr. Jackson. But I didn’t mean to offend you, just wanted to express a mild disapproval.
If I offended you, I would like to apologize. It soulded to me as if you blamed, among others, me personally for it.
Still, I would like to point out that, sadly, the rot of so-called antifascism has spread to all the world.
For my own part, I would love to metamorphose into a proud, old style American and play a little „Cowboys and Indians“ with the „reds“ of our time.
