Δεν μπορεί να πιστέψει η Κεραμεως ότι οι εργαζόμενοι εκβιαζονται να υπογράψουν βλαπτικες για τους ίδιους, ακόμα και παράνομες, επιχειρησιακες συμβάσεις, άρα είναι πραγματικό τους αίτημα. Άρα θα κάνουμε το παράνομο νόμιμο.
Άξια εκπρόσωπος της εργοδοσίας.

Good society collectively shocked as young republicans behave exactly as expected, repeating verbatim what their president spews 20 times a day

“Lawyers and activists say these incidents fit a pattern of increased police force against protesters – including so-called ‘less-lethal’ tools such as baton rounds, flash-bang devices and capsicum spray.”

EU Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi faces allegations of involvement in espionage by Hungary against the European Union.

ALBERTO ALEMANNO (@alemanno.bsky.social) explains why the Várhelyi Affair is a test of institutional self-defence – and how the EU can respond.

verfassungsblog.de/varhelyi-com...

Quote: “The Várhelyi affair poses a question the Union has never had to answer so starkly: What happens when a member state treats the institutions it helped create not as a common project, but as hostile territory to be infiltrated and undermined?”

Uns war es wichtig ist, denjenigen, die sich von liberalen Eliten gegängelt fühlen, nicht wiederum selbst zu bevormunden. Wir haben stattdessen den Wandel der Herrschaft in den Blick genommen. Das & vieles andere haben @onachtwey.bsky.social & ich hier intensiv diskutiert:

Demokratischer Faschismus? Carolin Amlinger und Oliver Nachtwey über die Lust an Zerstörung

Amlinger und Nachtwey sehen eine Gefahr heraufziehen, die grösser sei als der Rechtspopulismus. Dabei stützt sich das Autorenpaar auch auf eigene Erhebungen.

Don't know about you but I remember a time, not so long ago, when going out in public to claim that Greta Thunberg is the antichrist was a way to get access to psychiatric help.

The first article of the Silicon Valley special issue I’m editing is out! @mrshoward.bsky.social shows how contrarianism isn’t genuine dissent but a performative strategy rooted in venture capital. The piece develops negative mimesis, how dissent is aestheticized, repackaged & stripped of politics.

This is not opposition to the far right or fascism. It is not even a defence of "EU values". It is an exercise of cosying up to authoritarianism in the hope that co-existence can guarantee their priorities and remaining in power. It is a joke and we are paying its dreadful price. End/

Ranting about so-called EU values (rule of law, international law or press freedom) has never appeared more hypocritical, when it is more than clear that their concerns are *exclusively* driven by fears about any potential diversion from the militarisation drive against Russia. 4/

Liberal ‘opposition’ to the far right in Europe is not just *indifferent* but complicit to the cementing of austerity policies, the dehumanisation & persecution of migrants. It turns a blind eye when figures like Macron make a mockery out of formal democratic procedures. 3/ bsky.app/profile/prou...

Remarkably, in the liberal scaremongering 'far right in Brussels' list, Meloni is nowhere to be seen. Mitsotakis’ & his far right cabinet can continue taking the piss out of EU institutions and rule of law/press freedom violations. Fascist perspectives get rebranded as ‘legitimate concerns’. 2/

We are truly between a rock and a hard place. While the far right keeps getting normalised and rising, the liberal mainstream in Europe only sees a problem with Orbán, Fico, Babiš, a potential Le Pen or AfD victory because of their attitude towards Russia. *Nothing else*. 1/
