Not only that, he is also boosting far-right parties like AfD vehemently. It seems that with his newfound political power he will try to instigate the ascent of as much fascist parties to power as is possible for an influential multimillionaire. He might be a lunatic, but in no way is he a complete fool.
And what liberals are doing to counter him are of course insufficient.
goes on to rant about the rise of far-right in the EU
Their politicians and like-minded journalists can shout all they want about how Russian propaganda corrupts the EU from within, and call for banning Russian media outlets, but when it comes to USA and Elon Musk in particular, we can only ‘condemn his intervention’ into the politics of European countries. No one would possibly think about blocking X or the like. No one would lift a finger to actually prevent him from spearheading the rise of the far-right in the EU. I’m usually optimistic but it can’t be helped if 80 years after USSR crushed the Nazi Germany more and more countries are drifting to the right. Germany, France, Austria, Greece, Italy, what the heck is happening to Europe? Have we forgotten?
Happy cake day!
happy account creation time day thing
Thank you, comrade!
Happy new year! Let 2025 be a year which will bring us a boat of hope amid a turbulent sea of crisis. ✨

7·29 days agoWell, the person responsible did reconsider their choice in the end, to their credit.
4·1 month agoFascist granting citizenship to fascist, not really a surprise.
I recently asked it to give me an example of an imperialist country. It gave me China and baptised the BRI as imperialism. So much for the AI revolution.
It just keeps dying over and over again. Or maybe it has never been alive in the first place?
10·3 months agoWasn’t it an undecillion actually? (20 × 10 ^ 36)
I assume it is real because I have seen this news float by in Russian media these days.
4·3 months agoApparently they have just been removed from the MAINTAINERS file for now but it is not yet known if this will have any implications for their ability to send patches for inclusion in the kernel. If the latter proves to be the case, some of the drivers might end up unmaintained until another person gains enough trust to become a maintainer. This will surely affect support for the Russian BAIKAL processors, for example.
Apparently the removed contributors can return only if they provide some sort of “documentation” (not specified which though). They can still work on the kernel, but now they are not able to directly merge changes into the codebase, they can only send patches which may or may not be accepted. Or they could organise and create an independent Linux kernel fork which they would have to keep up to date by merging code from the upstream.
This much I understood from the news and comments.
This is the list of contributors that got removed according to a popular russian Linux web community.

More and more often it looks to me like the prevalent view of propaganda is “if something breaks my worldview then it’s propaganda”. And living in a western country anti-American and anti-EU sentiment or even just presenting countries like China, Russia, DPRK, etc. is often attributed to foreign propaganda.
Idk I hate how no official here calls out Isra-l for its hasbara but everybody seems so concerned with Russian “propaganda” that they’d rather enforce a full blown censhorship. This stance is such a joke that some people have indeed simply stopped caring. Most do seem to believe or at least pay attention to what the state says through its media and it does seem here like the state calling out stuff as propaganda has at least its share of “effectivity” on the people.
PS. Sorry if the comment is confusing, my point is that how effective state calling out information as propaganda is depends a lot on the receiving end, aka the people. A lot seem to be inclined to accept the state/EU/US narrative on what is propaganda and what is not, but others have become critical to it due to its stance on the Palestinian issue.
