@FinFreedom414 Anon, here’s an example of an x account I warn you about.
Man’s an idiot.

@Skyler_Tea we gave you lot the vote and the world turned to shit.
Odds of Peace if you lot were in charge,
zero

@WatcherGuru I refuse to believe I am the inly one who can see what’s occouring here
English

@LucyTCWife imagine blaming your lack of self discipline on everything but you.
English

@Simon_Ingari Lol.
just say no
fuck this bollocks.
Dont kiss ass, no matter how diplomatic you are
you are just a number, replaceable in seconds.
Fuck em.

@sophielouisecc shut up being divisional.
Just quit your job if
you think you’d be better off.
English

This is a straight up lie
One million people in benefits are better off than a person working full time on the living wage
Louise🌻🌻Coates@louisecoatesuk
@sophielouisecc No household is better off out of work than they would be in work, remember to compare like with like. Check how much your household would be expected to live on if you didn't work by using a benefits calculator like "entitled to"

@BritishBastardX we were protesting for a full 12 months
before fuel hit £1 a litre
10 -12 years ago.
People like you told us to fk off blocking roads.
How does GO FUCK YOURSELF
sound to you now?
Right wing- always wrong- always late.
It is them that have fk’d the country not Labour

@TheEnglishRebel we are prepping for war with Russia through NATO, an organisation we are grateful to be part of.
The UK has to be battle ready for a possible attack and Invasion by Russia.
You are just a Patsy.

@ArchRose90 anyone else notice how trollops of the right are never happy
English

@MartiniGuyYT Man cries too much
solution here-
Quit your £35k a year job
get 3 kids
earn £85k a year
simples
English

🇬🇧 UNDER LABOUR WORKING IS NOW PUNISHED
Under Labour, a person working on a £35k salary is £1,400 worse off.
But someone not working with 3+ kids can get up to £81,000 a year in benefits.
This is completely wrong.
Rewarded for not working punished for working harder and earning less.
Britain is truly broken.

The UK had a choice when things kicked off.
Stand properly with our closest ally… or hang back and pretend that sitting on the fence somehow looks like strength.
And we chose the awkward middle ground — not quite in, not quite out, just… there.
Now people will say that’s “measured” or “responsible.”
But to anyone paying attention, it just looks like hesitation.
Because the US isn’t just another country we occasionally agree with. It’s the backbone of NATO, the partner we lean on for intelligence, deterrence, and the kind of military weight that makes other nations think twice before doing anything stupid.
Which is why this isn’t really about Iran at all.
It’s about what happens if that backbone decides it’s had enough.
Take the US out of NATO and what are you left with? A handful of capable countries, yes — but nothing like the same level of reach, power or deterrence. Certainly not enough to make the world’s bad actors lose sleep.
And the UK? We’re good… but we’re not “replace the United States” good. Nobody in Europe is.
So if Washington starts looking across the table and seeing allies who hedge, hesitate and only show up when it’s convenient, you can’t blame them for eventually asking what they’re getting out of it.
That’s the bit people don’t like saying out loud.
And here’s another question people dodge — if this had been any other US president, would we have been straight in, shoulder to shoulder without all the hesitation? It’s hard not to think a lot of this comes down to the fact that Western governments simply don’t like Trump. He’s not one of their usual, predictable operators, and that makes them nervous. Whether you rate him or not, that discomfort clearly plays into how willing they are to be seen standing alongside him.
Instead, they reach for the Falklands.
“Ah, but the Americans didn’t help us then.”
Except they did — just not in the way people imagine. No Hollywood carrier group charging in, but plenty of the things that actually matter. Intelligence, logistics, weapons, and support through Ascension Island — which, yes, is British, but at the time was being run as a joint UK-US staging base.
They could have made that operation far harder than it already was.
They didn’t.
They helped make it work.
In other words, they showed up like real allies do — not for the headlines, but in ways that actually count.
Which brings us back to now.
Nobody’s saying we needed to blindly charge in. That’s not the point.
But there’s a difference between acting independently and looking like you’re trying to keep everyone happy while committing to nothing.
Alliances don’t survive on technicalities. They survive on trust.
And if we start looking like the sort of country that wants the protection of NATO without ever really sticking its neck out when it matters, we shouldn’t be surprised if one day that protection starts to feel a bit… optional.
Because without the US, NATO isn’t some iron shield.
It’s a polite conversation.
And that’s not much comfort when the world stops being polite.

Today I unfollowed 3k accounts because I made the mistake early on following people who followed me whether they actually engaged with me or not.
The weird thing is that 1.2k (40%) of those accounts instantly unfollowed me, which tells me that the percentage of bot accounts on X are enormously high.

i am so tired of people from other countries posting their opinions on everything america does like anyone asked or gives a single fuck
american politics, the moon mission, our economy, our military, our culture.
the entire world has something to say about everything we do 24/7.
but you never see americans sitting online all day tweeting about what’s happening in your country. ever.
because nobody cares
worry about yourself and fix your own problems.
the obsession with america from people who don’t live here can’t vote here and have zero stake in the outcome is genuinely hilarious
stay in your lane nobody asked you or cares what you have to say

@BrivaelFr yep, @elonmusk has done a tremendous job of bringing the world together…
only for us to argue our points and bully other people,
The division created by a lack of filters
is not a positive move for the wolrd

Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X.
Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale.
X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce.
Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic.
Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser.
Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça.
Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro.
Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier.
Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale.
Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau.
Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel.
Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.
