The Berlin Wall fell for a reason. It would be foolish to consider trying to rebuild it - and all it represents - today.

@ChloeMkljczk Professional NGO worker, essentially a burden on society. Hard truth...

@ChloeMkljczk So you saying Musk killing democracy. Can’t agree more with you @Fidias0

@ChloeMkljczk I admire that @Fidias0 is able to have a nice conversation even with a naive activist like @ChloeMkljczk from a very different bubble

From watching the debate it is clear what activists like @ChloeMkljczk actually want... Its fascism. The distrust in the decision making of individuals and the immense trust in "public" media and politicians and people that know what the "truth" is - it's frankly staggering. Kudos to @Fidias0 for being so great at debate even with such people in friendly and non hostile manner.

@ChloeMkljczk 100% agree that you have to be able to question everything and thats exactly how you kove forward as a society. Anything else means to be just stuck on the same place or decline. Thanks Fidias for speaking put for freedom of speech and common sense/logic

@ChloeMkljczk It does for sure. Politicians are used and brainwashed for the good of mammon.

@ChloeMkljczk “Consensus” is wrong all the time. This woman is everything she accuses the other side. In a free speech enviroment missinformation gets corrected, there are still bad and trustworthy sources, but its always a conversation, not the one truth above all. Censorship is dictature.

@ChloeMkljczk Do you post these podcasts and interview somewhere else then X?

@ChloeMkljczk MEP need more staff to find out things without bias. A friend of me did that for a party in the dutch parliament. He was always busy calling and mailing people who really know or whose life or work is involved. Scientists, legal people, unions, companies, lawyers, lobbyists, etc.
