Instead, they are undermining national <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/institutions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#institutions</a>, elevating regional <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/grievances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grievances</a>, and offering what we might call <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/performative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#performative</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/disengagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disengagement</a>.

Mix Mistress Alice💄<a href="https://pubeurope.com/@europesays" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@europesays</a> Always more apps and digitalization; always less genuine human support. Fuck that. A good education teaches not to be a bystander, to be responsive against cruelty, so kids and other targets won't have to seek recourse in some apps. <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/bullying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bullying</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/bullies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bullies</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/digitalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalisation</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/disengagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disengagement</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/bystanders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bystanders</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/apps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apps</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/unresponsiveness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unresponsiveness</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a> vs <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/support" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#support</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/genuinesupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genuinesupport</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teachers</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/responsibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#responsibility</a>

demi7en 🎗🇪🇺<a href="https://eupolicy.social/@AliceStollmeyer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@AliceStollmeyer</a> A multi-generational ally (now a hostile elected autocracy!) stabbing Europe in the back is truly something for the history books.Yet, talking about chasing, most European states are *still* individually seeking to further deepen their economic entanglement with the Chinese dictatorship hostile to *all* of our fundamental values. 🤯That equation is — and always was — not only absurd and ridiculous, but it is the absolute antithesis to "democratic resilience".Before we choose to acknowledge and address the truly foundational threats to democracy worldwide, all else is akin to building sandcastles on a beach near a key PRC-operated shipping port... 🤷🏻‍♂️ <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/EuropeanUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EuropeanUnion</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PRC</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CCP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CCP</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#china</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/disengagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disengagement</a>

William Lindsey :toad:To those of us longing to opt out and just get on with our lives, ignoring what's going to be happening around us, Joyce Vance says,"Politics is not some foreign apparatus, separate from our daily lives.
