All over the world, voters should beware, that whenever politicians talk about immigrants, it is because they have no solutions to the problems that matter most.

Healthcare crisis in the UK? Talk about immigrants.

Children getting shot because of idiotic gun laws in the US? Talk about immigrants.

"Look over there! Someone is coming to eat your cake!", is the oldest trick in the book, and politicians use it for the sole purpose of moving attention away from their own political incompetence.

@randahl The same in whole Europe (the EU-Elections results) and live on Sunday in France at the ...

But it's not only the politicians. It is the democracy-destroying mass of the big platforms that works perfectly because nobody is doing anything about it effectively and too many people voluntarily expose themselves to it. The fire of and is lit by Musk and Zuckerberg, and Putin & Co.
It's us to vote for + human rights!

Time to share this again

A two-year-old tweet by Bernie Sanders: “In the French elections, given the choice between progressives who want to increase taxes on the rich, or right-wing extremists who are viciously anti-immigrant, the pro-business "centrist" party of Macron just couldn't make a choice. There's a lesson to be learned here.” (Posted on June 20, 2022 during the 2022 French legislative elections following Macron’s 2022 reelection)

    As expected, Macron has decided to campaign on “Don’t bother voting for the nazis, I can be a nazi too!” 🤪

    • Same excerpt translated to English “The President of the Republic now mentions the "priority axes" and the "method" of government that he wishes to put in place, in the event of a victory in the legislative elections. In particular, he defended the "protection of [the] republican values". According to the Head of State, "the rise of the extreme right must be heard". He says he heard "deep doubts about what we are becoming" as well as "existential concern, the feeling of dispossession". "The fight against this feeling of dispossession first of all presupposes increased firmness towards all those who consider French citizenship as a sum of rights à la carte," he defended, calling for the establishment of "duties and commitments for the nation". After defending his record on sovereign issues, including laws on separatism, immigration and the recruitment of law enforcement, Mr. Macron believes that "all this has not been sufficiently seen, felt, understood by our compatriots". In particular, he wants "better control of the issue of unaccompanied minors who, in so many cities, are a security problem". "We must therefore first, relentlessly, continue to act for more security, more firmness," he pleaded before his government and the leaders of the presidential camp, calling for "more republican authority on all levels (...) within the framework of the Republic and its values”.”

    • Excerpt from Le Monde in French. “Le président de la République évoque désormais les « axes prioritaires » et la « méthode » de gouvernement qu’il souhaite mettre en place, en cas de victoire aux législatives. Il a notamment défendu la « protection [des] valeurs républicaines ». Selon le chef de l’Etat, « la montée de l’extrême droite doit être entendue ». Il affirme avoir entendu « les doutes profonds sur ce que nous sommes en train de devenir » ainsi que « l’inquiétude existentielle, le sentiment de dépossession ». « La lutte contre ce sentiment de dépossession suppose d’abord une fermeté accrue vis à vis de tous ceux qui considèrent la citoyenneté française comme une somme de droits à la carte », a-t-il défendu, appelant à la mise en place de « devoirs et d’engagements pour la nation ». Après avoir défendu son bilan sur les lois sur le séparatisme, l’immigration et le recrutement des forces de l’ordre, M. Macron estime que « tout cela n’a pas été assez vu, senti, compris par nos compatriotes ». Il souhaite notamment un « meilleur contrôle de la question des mineurs non accompagnés qui, dans tant de villes, sont un problème de sécurité ». « Nous devons donc d’abord, de manière implacable, continuer d’agir pour plus de sécurité, plus de fermeté », a-t-il plaidé devant son gouvernement et les dirigeants du camp présidentiel, appelant à « plus d’autorité républicaine à tous les les étages (…) dans le cadre de la République et de ses valeurs ».”
