  1. The West’s support of Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people tells you everything you need to know about “Western values”.

    Western values are dollars, euros, and cents.

    The next time some white person from Europe or the US preaches to you about their values, laugh in their faces. Loudly. Make sure everyone around you hears what a sick joke they are.

  2. "As demonstrated by its sabotage and hybrid operations across Europe, near-daily drone incursions into EU airspace, threats issued by Kremlin officials, and constant attempts to destabilise European states, the Russian threat has become an everyday reality for Europe."

  10. Nou, hier zijn we mooi klaar mee:

    "Jongeren worden de laatste jaren conservatiever. Gold de jongste generatie decennialang als de progressiefste, inmiddels komen de meningen van de jongste generatie over thema’s als abortus en homoseksualiteit het meest overeen met die van 95-plussers. Dat blijkt uit de European Values Study, dat sinds 1981 de opvattingen van Europeanen meet."

That matters more than ever in today’s world. #EuropeanUnion #EU #Europe #Democracy #Peace #Solidarity #EuropeanValues

  18. 1/2
    EUROPEAN VALUES

    I'm facilitating a discussion at my local #UEF (Union of European Federalists) chapter and would love your input to prepare. The goal: to define - for ourselves and others - who we are and what we stand for.

    Which #EuropeanValues are worth defending and strengthening in today's crumbling world order? Which of them clearly require closer European cooperation, or even a #federal #Europe?

    Name specific values and argue in a sentence or two.

  19. @MissJonesTravel Danke für deine Arbeit! Das gibt mehr Realität zu dem fast schon Völkermord, den #EuropeanValues anrichten.

  22. In Germany, genocide denial is a crime.

    Unless it’s genocide against Palestinians.

    How can that be? Easy. Because they don’t see Palestinians as human beings.

    Why? Because they are racist fucks.

    (And because they profit from the genocide as the world’s #2 arms dealer to Israel after the US.)

    Makes me sick to my stomach. Gotta love those “European values” eh?

  23. Countries for which genocide is a deal breaker:

    Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain

    Countries for which genocide is not a deal breaker:

    Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany (2nd largest arms dealer of the genocide behind the US; historic fan of genocides), Greece, Israel (our good friends who are carrying out the genocide), Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and United Kingdom.

  24. Interesting to see the EU take on addictive app design. Glad the issue is finally on the agenda, but targeting features like infinite scroll feels somewhat symptomatic. As long as engagement-driven business models remain intact, this may become an arms race rather than a real cure. Not sure what the real solution is. Any thoughts?

  25. The US forced TikTok to divest its American operations, citing national security and data protection - yet when the EU tries to regulate big tech with similar arguments to protect its own sovereignty and citizens, Washington cries "free market" and "free speech," threatening sanctions instead.

    While the US acts on potential risks with TikTok, the EU faces actual, daily violations of its values by big tech platforms.

  26. Israel’s genocide isn’t just murdering Palestinians en masse, it’s also destroying any semblance of morality or ethics the West might have purported to possess. International law? Bullshit. European values? Trash. Western democracy? A joke.

  27. “The EU’s most senior diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said the bloc would keep ‘options on the table’ to pressure Israel’s government if there was no improvement in the ‘catastrophic’ humanitarian situation in Gaza. According to several diplomatic sources she did not endorse any one of 10 sanctions options drawn up by her team, after an earlier EU review found ‘indications’ Israel was in breach of human rights commitments.”

    Dear @EUCommission,

    Your complicity in the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people is not going unnoticed.

    Shame on you.

  28. Many still believe European digital autonomy is just a dream. But what if this disbelief is our real weakness? If we really believe in European culture, we can’t be so defeatist as to think we have no chance of preserving it.

    🧭 "So We Europeans Are Hopeless, Right?" – my latest piece
    techtonicshift.vivaldi.net/202

    #EDAI #DigitalSovereignty #EuropeanAlternatives #TechTonicShift #EuropeanValues #BuyEuropean

  29. I have to return to an article I published two weeks ago: “Why Even Try? A European Answer to Digital Pessimism“, because it turns out the problem may be deeper than I thought. Do we really believe this little in ourselves? Where does this deep-seated defeatism come from?

    I’ve said it before: when I talk about the idea of European digital autonomy, I don’t do so naively. The nature of an idea is that it detaches from current limitations and dares to propose a direction. It might never be fully realized, but it offers guidance. If we start from a place of disbelief, we end up with nihilism.

    I was glad to see that the TLDR News EU YouTube channel recently published a video asking whether Europe needs its own social media platforms. But I was disheartened to see that the main argument for it was the EU’s ability to better control content and thus counter foreign influence, like Elon Musk’s political meddling via X (formerly Twitter).

    To me, that’s missing the point entirely. We don’t need European alternatives so the EU can control them. We need them so no one can. Platforms aligned with European values should be resilient against both corporate and political dominance. Their virality shouldn’t be driven by profit-maximizing algorithms but by human sharing—one follower at a time. Mastodon and the Fediverse show this is already feasible, even if imperfect.

    Yes, such platforms may not thrive under traditional business models—but isn’t that a feature, not a bug? One of our core European values is that not everything should be subject to market forces.

    The TLDR video also lists the usual difficulties: network effects, lower quality of European tech, fragmentation. They question whether EU algorithms might also generate echo chambers. But this presumes that European platforms would merely copy American designs—an assumption I strongly reject. Most concerning is the implicit conclusion that building something based on European values would be too complicated to attempt:

    • Europe lacks the digital infrastructure the US has, especially in AI and cybersecurity
    • The EU doesn’t have the same startup culture
    • The EU consists of 27 separate markets and languages

    I agree with these facts. But to use them as reasons to give up is terrifying. Have we truly lost the spirit of “not because it is easy, but because it is hard”—the very mindset that once made America great?

    It’s hypocritical and unsustainable to celebrate European values while depending entirely on foreign platforms that directly undermine them. That’s like applauding environmentalism while importing goods made with child labor and environmental destruction—as long as it’s far from Europe, we pretend we’re clean.

    If we accept that European values can only survive by outsourcing their violation elsewhere, then basically we agree that Elon Musk was right when he said: “The biggest weakness of the West was empathy.”

    Yes, the challenge is enormous—but not impossible. Do we really think Europe lacks the minds to build strong AI models? That we can’t scale up our search engines, maps, or data centers? That multilingual platforms can’t be enhanced with translation tools—just like the US platforms already use? This isn’t a lack of cognitive capacity. It’s not even a lack of production capability. We are on par with our global peers in that regard.

    What we lack is alignment across all levels—users, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. I know the foundation is shaky. It always was. But if we don’t address this now, in 10–20 years there may be nothing left to preserve.

    Regardless of whether you’re conservative or progressive, you’ll find that the European culture and values you care about are no longer there. Despite all our differences, I still believe we Europeans could think together—about what we share, what we want to preserve, and what kind of digital future we want to shape. We must.

  30. I’ve unfollowed so many people and there’s still more carefree #eurovision chatter showing up on my timeline. It’s gonna be a long night. A genocide? What? Shh! We’re trying to have fun here!

    You can’t even boycott entertainment to show solidarity with a people facing genocide as we speak? Entertainment with an entry by and whose main sponsor is a company from the country committing the genocide?

    *smdh*

    #eurovision #europe #EU #europeanValues #genocide #ethnicCleansing #apartheid #settlerColonialism #israel #Palestine #Gaza

  31. Only one thing on everyone’s mind? The genocide being carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people? No? Oh, a song contest sponsored by Israel that Israel is using to whitewash its genocide. Ah, my bad, sorry.

    Enjoy your entertainment.

  32. @eunews Another useless appeal. Come back when they implement internal law and sanctions. Until than, the countries that still have agreements and trade with Israel are complicit in Israeli war crimes and genocide.

  33. “Shh! Let people enjoy things!”

    Fuck that. Not when you’re normalising genocide.

    Call out every fucker enjoying #Eurovision and posting about it as if there isn’t a fucking genocide being carried out right fucking now by the fucking country that these fuckers have rolled out the red carpet for and voted into the final.

    Fuck you for putting your entertainment over the lives of the Palestinian people.

    You fuckers are the reason these things are still allowed happen.

  34. When was the last time a country committing active genocide was permitted? And then voted into the final? Even more remarkable, wouldn’t you say?

    How is genocide normalised?

    Like this.

  35. Eurovision is all about love and acceptance. Which is why you’re not allowed pride flags but you can bring the flag of a country that’s committing genocide. It begs the question: what is being loved and accepted?
