Merz, the EU etc think social media brainwash young people into protesting, but in reality we're drowning in liberal-centrist monopoly media muck telling us late-stage capitalism is great and if it isn't, it's bec we don't work enough, whine too much and don't want to go to war.
🔴 | 🇪🇺 German media company Axel Springer proposed buying TikTok’s European business
Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner proposed buying a stake in TikTok’s European business and discussed the idea with a well-connected member of the Trump administration. However, the plan failed to gain support from EU officials or TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance.
In September, Döpfner said TikTok “should either be sold to democratic shareholders or banned”.

Well, no surprise there. A government committed to weapons of mass murder will want to maintain and develop the nuclear skills base.
Following yesterday’s debate in Parliament, I’ve written in @TheScotsman on why it’s time for the SNP to modernise their stance on nuclear energy.
Their ban is not in Scotland’s interests. We stand ready to work with Scottish Govt to bring new jobs and investment to Scotland.

Sally Rooney and now Sarah Helm. Next a slew of Scottish authors. Please form a queue. That could blow the lid off this malign idiocy.

The power we are searching for is the power to stop Scotland being the launch pad for the UK's monstrous weapons of mass destruction, the power to end complicity in genocide, the power to (list continues). Anything else amounts to a con.
ALT Tweet today from Melanie Ward MP: "I spoke to @bbc5live about the speech that Andy Burnham will be making in Lanarkshire today. He’ll invite John Swinney and the Scottish Government to work with us to push power out of Holyrood and Westminster, and closer to people. We can work together on a new shared mission."

Nuclear weapons remain amongst the foremost threats to humanity, according to the Lancet's recent report on global risks.
Despite a reduction in global stockpiles since the Cold War, there are STILL more than enough nuclear weapons to end humanity by triggering nuclear winter.

“Nuclear exercises and missile tests are nothing more than rehearsals for mass slaughter. The countries with nuclear weapons all claim to be responsible, but they are the very opposite. They are playing roulette with all our lives."

There's a type of NGO in Europe - new-ish, elite origin, entirely or mostly government-funded, does mainly communications/discourse stuff - that reacts to current funding cuts with indignation and an immense sense of entitlement, of the centrality of their work to our democracy.
