They are more European than some European member states anyway
yeah 🤨
But is this a dig at Hungary/Slovakia or is it really as racist as it sounds?

I almost put this here, but the last part ruined the joke :/
Can you imagine? Cynical machoman invader can't be seen as Snow White :D
The day you get 2/3 of Brits to vote for joining the EU, that can probably happen. No more geopolitical decisions decided on fumes.
This one aged like Whiskey.
Great, I searched for long pork recipes and now I guess I'm on a ton of watchlists 😐
are they barking in different languages?
What I've learned over time is that it brings out the worst in us, because unlike a live meeting, where there is a danger that you may be ostracized or beaten up, online people have a much less controlled environment for speech. Even the effort of showing up or printing/broadcasting an opinion was reduced to 0.
And since the user isn't forced to pass a driving exam for how to behave and different communities have different rules, values and objectives, it is easy to feel a contrast without traveling very far, which triggers polarization/victimization rather than an instinct to adapt and grow.
e.g. normies wouldn't just stumble into an anarchist meeting in real life and start throwing up a fuss, but online it can happen all the time without ~~censorship~~ moderation.
And all of this before even considering hostile actors that generate, propagate, amplify and target misinformation and disinformation (now with AI inside^TM^)
...it is also easier to be misinterpreted, because every time someone speaks, it is one-to-many and you have no idea who is going to be reading and to misinterpret/coopt/discredit(in a hostile way) your message in ways that you had not antecipated. It is completely different from a live gathering (you don't each yell at the crowd at a time)
