Good grief, her English makes my toes curl (I'm half-German).

The socialists have been pushing conservative anti-immigration rhetoric, and the CDU chancellor candidate has suggested a coalition with the AfD for years. His party actually publishes posters saying "we do what the AfD promises in a democratic way" -- what the hell!!!! It's dire and dark, and it reflects the soul of the people here.

[@JamesMc2051]

It seems like the same all over. It's like that in the UK too. The last Tory governments were neoliberal and austerity, then got increasingly more concerned with losing voters to the ever changing name UKIP/Brexit/Reform and so shifted to the right and made immigration their focus (of their rhetoric anyway, their actual actions in government were complete failure by every metric other than enriching themselves). Now we have a Labour government (because two parties win elections here and the other one had been in government for fourteen years at that point and improved nothing) but their leader spent most of his campaigning talking about immigration too and trying to capture conservative voters. End result. Our most right wing party is more influential than before. Our centre-right party has gone further right. Our left wing party has gone to the centre. Everyone has shifted to the right. Why? Two reasons. Global politics have brought a larger number of refugees and although they make up a small percentage of our total immigration they do capture the news headlines whenever someone dies attempting to cross the channel on a makeshift boat so the news gets flooded with these stories. And the other reason - tech. Look around the internet and it isn't the left which is on the rise and hasn't been for a good fifteen - twenty years now. Even reading message boards and comments on political articles shows which side of the political spectrum is most active. It wasn't always this way. It switched around the 2000s - firstly with Iraq and then more so after the 2008 financial crash - and despite the right being in power after that (and being a complete disaster) - we're still being pulled to the right now. I doubt the world's richest man becoming interested in and active in global politics will change that. We're headed to major conflicts on our current trajectory because we've been here before.

Stop trying to put dumb regulations in the way as if US companies are going to comply rather than blocking the service in Europe. Fight for change instead of trying to hold it back. Europe can't possibly beat the US or China on resources but it can undercut their advantage by supporting grass roots bottom up innovation.

The Starlink aspect is interesting. It does seem convenient that his desire to disrupt European politics comes just as the EU seeks to build an alternative satellite network. It’s no secret that Musk is close with Russia - I don’t think we’ve ever seen him criticise Russia for being authoritarian, despite his love for “freedom”. It seems mutually beneficial for Elon and Russia to prevent the EU having its own satellite-enabled internet.

Great Journalism Novara, I found it very interesting the reason why musk is becoming active in European politics (because not using space x services, it reminds me of when he started berating the cave diver in thailand because they would us his products). It's essential that we have independent organisations which have peoples best interest in place for such important things as satellites and social media (and even delivery services I would say). My suggestion has always been that government should fund startups for a new type of company (or perhaps it these type of companies legally already exist) but a sort of cooperative model where each individual member (staff, paying customer) are equal shareholders). This way the companies can focus on hiring decent staff and providing best service without interference of a small group of shareholders, then any income that has been made goes out to a return for all the customers/staff. Of course the people in charge will still get decent pay as their jobs are difficult, but it will prevent all the money going out in dividends and also remove the issue of the government having to be directly involved in maintaining the infrastructure (the companies would be independent and not government run), if the government invested in these types of models they could make a deal where when the company starts making profit they have to pay back the government with interest, what member of public wouldn't want to invest in this? At the moment we have no choice to use the tech companies we are given, but as far as I am concerned, this is the best solution to have a real alternative.

3:33 It's pronounced "Fee-dess" not "fee-desh" 👍🏻 "sz" in Hungarian is just the same as "s" in English.

Never heard of Dash-ow. It's pronounced Dack-ow.
