Germany did destroy itself almost a century ago. It wasn’t because it took in too many migrants. It was because it fell for arguments uncomfortably close to Vance’s.
"Europe is on the brink of civilizational suicide," US Vice President Vance told Fox News. "Countries don’t control borders, restrict free speech. If Germany takes in millions more incompatible migrants, it’ll destroy itself. America can’t save it."

Today, President Trump called our enemy, Russia, before calling our ally, Ukraine.
Meanwhile, his Secretary of Defense, ruled out a future for Ukraine in NATO and a restoration of Ukrainian sovereignty over its own lands.

Having spent a week or two more full time here, I can absolutely confirm that the real echo chamber is not Bluesky but X. Musk’s platform is roaring cyclotron of hate, gamed algorithms and inauthentic blue ticks. It’s not free speech but ‘paid for’ speech that stops genuine exploration and debate.

One of the strongest arguments for leaving X altogether is that by staying you help give the impression that the platform is still normal and not engaged in extreme algorithmic doping.
Really noticeable how Twitter / X is turning into something very different to what it was. And potentially sinister.
Normally sensible centre right people are going down conspiracy theory rabbit holes and getting absolutely hysterical about the current government. Sad to see.
