According to The Register, daily EU Twitter users dropped 17% in a year. No wonder it’s full of MAGA trolls and russian bots now. Europeans are leaving. I heard this is where the Euro fam is now. So.. if you’re pro-EU, let’s connect! 🇪🇺 #europe #EU #proEU

Hello everyone. I know this isn’t exactly the place to be seen, and I’ll probably just end up talking to the walls like usual. But I’m currently suspended on Twitter… so yeah. If you happen to see this, well… hi, I guess.

Twitter is experiencing its third major outage of the day after a massive DDoS attack. The hacking group “Dark Storm Team” has claimed responsibility. Bless their hearts. Hope they keep going.

We MUST decouple from the US first. We’re currently in danger because of their alignment to russia. Regarding RO, yes, a pro-EU coalition could save our path. We also have some external backing from 🇫🇷, which is good. Georgescu is currently the biggest threat, but he might be barred completely.

Back here after a 3-month break. Giving this app another chance, as the world didn’t fix itself yet. I’ll try to follow back everyone & looking for more people who support Eurofederalism, are antifascist, anti-MAGA, anti-tr*mp, anti-m*sk and actually want unity.

Bineînțeles că el face parte din sistem. Dar tu faci parte din comisia de renumărare a voturilor? Faptul de a renumăra voturile este un proces DEMOCRATIC. Numai că în Rusia ta nu se numără voturile, vatnicii nu știu ce e aia democrație, nu? Fascistul a luat 2 milioane de voturi? ⬇️

I pity those who believe democracy is only about voting. Y’all WRONG! Democracy is about upholding DEMOCRATIC values (freedom, equality, respect for human rights). A vote that empowers oppression and destroys these principles undermines democracy itself. Hitler was democratically elected too.

Some pro-fascist factions within the secret services, along with certain reservists (linked to legionary ideologies), are attempting a coup with the backing of foreign entities (Russia and the Trumpist faction in the US). Some sources argue that Georgescu is endorsed by RFK.

You may not live in Romania or in Europe, but this matters everywhere. Extremism knows no borders. But neither does solidarity. Together, we should call out the red flags, flip the script, and defend democracy wherever it’s on the ropes. Stay informed. Share. Act.

Now, the situation is actually more complicated because Lasconi, even though she’s undoubtedly better than Georgescu, she’s still a VERY weak candidate. Her lack of political strength and clear direction makes her an easy target for manipulation. /21

Although his campaign was massively amplified by foreign far-right actors and paid influencers, his rise is linked to the similar frustration with the political status quo that helped the Iron Guard in the past. They use dissatisfaction to rally support by proposing radical changes. /20

…he wasn’t even listed on the official ballots until the day of the election, nor did he participate in any electoral debates. He managed to secure the majority of the votes (first runner up), largely due to his use of TikTok to disseminate his “nationalist,” “pro-sovereignty”messages. /19

This entire situation reopens the extremely deep scars of Romania’s past. His sudden rise to prominence is extremely questionable, especially given that, until recently, Romanians had barely heard of him. He appeared almost out of nowhere…(ALT text) /18
Georgescu (left); Marshall Antonescu (right)

The resemblance between the two is shocking.
Has Antonescu respawned into Romania’s politics?
NOTE: many historians argue that Ion Antonescu, Romania’s leader during World War II, was worse than even Mussolini in terms of brutality and his role in the Holocaust.

On top of that, it is said that Georgescu is endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy and Trump’s team. Coincidence? He has been fueled by a the Trumpian current around the world. Georgescu capitalizes on disillusionment and nationalist rhetoric just like Trump and historic fascists. /17

anitamelov @thevtalks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
Călin Georgescu’s political stance merges fascist ideologies with pro-Russian sentiment. Let’s be clear: Putin’s Russia is NOT communist. Communism ended with the fall of the USSR. Today, Russia operates under a fascist-like regime => making its supporters unapologetic FASCISTS. /16

…and a symbol of atheism & Bolshevism. Their anti-Soviet stance resonated with many Romanians who feared Soviet expansion. But keep in mind: just because a group or movement is “anti-communism,” it doesn’t mean they are harmless. They’re even worse! /15

anitamelov @thevtalks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
During the post-war period, Romania's communist dictatorship's persecution of the Iron Guard fed the myth created by their supporters today. The Iron Guard’s ideology was fiercely anti-communist and opposed the Soviet Union, as it was viewed as a threat to Romanian sovereignty… /14

anitamelov @thevtalks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
After WWII, surviving Iron Guard members were imprisoned or fled the country. The communist regime suppressed any remaining supporters. Still, the movement’s ideas resurfaced in nationalist discourses. Some fringe groups (Georgescu included) and historians still try to rehabilitate its image. /13

anitamelov @thevtalks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
By early 1941, Antonescu crushed the Iron Guard’s rebellion in a brutal crackdown, officially dissolving the movement. But its violent & ultra-nationalist legacy scarred Romanian society forever, because this movement had already influenced literature, art, and church sermons. /12

anitamelov @thevtalks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
In 1940, under Antonescu’s dictatorship (himself nazi ally, hitler’s best friend), the Iron Guard also allied with the Nazis to form the National Legionary State. This led to harsh anti-Semitic laws & violent purges against political opponents. The alliance fell apart due to internal conflicts. /11

anitamelov @thevtalks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
Despite its extremism, the Iron Guard gained significant political traction. In the 1937 elections, they won 15.5% of the vote, becoming RO’s 3rd-largest political force. King Carol II initially tried to appease them but later banned the group, and forced them underground. /11

anitamelov @thevtalks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
Violence was central to the Iron Guard’s strategy. They engaged in political assassinations, the killing of four Prime Ministers, among other political opponents. Their anti-Semitic campaigns led to pogroms (eg. Bucharest pogrom 1941), where hundreds of Jews were killed. /10

The Iron Guard gained support from frustrated unemployed youth. They promised radical change and a return to national values, which attracted students and intellectuals. Their militant, disciplined image and focus on action appealed to those tired of traditional politics. /9

anitamelov @thevtalks.bsky.social · 27/11/2024
In the 1920-30s, Romania faced severe economic hardships. The Great Depression led to widespread unemployment and poverty. Most young people, especially university students, found themselves without job prospects. They were disillusioned with the existing political system. /8

Its members participated in rituals, wore traditional clothes (such as embroidered peasant blouses), green shirts— symbolizing “rebirth”, and adopted a swastika-like insignia. Their leader, Codreanu, was their saint. /7

Originally called the Legion of the Archangel Michael and later known as the Legionary Movement, it embodied a mystical and religious zeal, and promised national rebirth. It was not just a political movement but actually a quasi-religious sect. /6

The Iron Guard in Romania was a far-right, ultranationalist, fascist, nazi-inspired movement founded in 1927 by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. It emerged from a post-WWI Romania, driven by extreme nationalism, anti-communism, and fervent Orthodox Christianity. /5

It’s true that the Romanian female candidate can’t even be compared to Kamala, it would be an insult to Kamala. But it’s not about this…it’s about the rising power of fascists around the world. /3

Just like the US had to choose between a liberal and a fascist, Romanians have to choose between a liberal candidate (Lasconi) and a fascist (Georgescu) who wants to get Romania out of the EU and NATO. The latter openly idolizes the cruelest fascist in Romania’s history, Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. /2

I know I’m invisible, but what if I told you a European country is on the brink of disaster? Romania’s presidential elections are a coup in disguise. It’s a replica of the US election chaos. The leading candidate openly idolizes fascist leaders from the country’s darkest past. 🧵Let me explain

You’re missing the point. It’s not about russia’s saber-rattling. You’re dismissing a potential US-russia alliance, which actually happened in the past and would probably happen under trump.

But it’s incredibly unlikely that anyone, even Russia, would directly attack the US, especially with nukes. Also, let’s not forget the key point here: the US is the ONLY country in EVER that has actually used nukes. RU’s military actions have historically been focused on its⬇️

It’s easy for people who live far away,(the US) to have a “let it happen” attitude, because you aren’t the ones facing the immediate consequences! I was born in Eastern Europe, and war is not some distant abstract concept. It’s something that affects our home, our family, our your future.

It’s very scary… Another issue is that Trump is Putin’s ally. So it won’t be any better in the future. Biden’s current decision to lift the restrictions on Ukraine’s use of US missiles may strengthen Kyiv on the short term, but it comes with huge risks for NATO states: (Continued⬇️)

It was good, but it feels like it exists in a liminal space. It’s not 100% Kubrick 😢 it really lacks the psychological depth typically found in Kubrick’s movies. He faced pressure from the studio. I know the genius in Kubrick would’ve changed many aspects of the movie if he had lived more,

Musk’s crypto hype and his new gig as head of Trump’s Dept of Govt Efficiency (DOGE🤡) pumps BTC to $3T. Crypto+blockchain tech are used on the dark web for anonymous transactions. No banks, no IDs, just wallets. Perfect for criminals wanting to stay untraceable. Oligarchs LOVE crypto…coincidence?

Musk is meddling in European politics, accusing Italy of being an “authoritarian state” after a Rome court refused to detain 7 migrants🤡 Europe remains far more democratic than the fascism he’s pushing in the US. For Europe’s safety, it should distance itself from the current American trajectory.
