What exactly are people afraid of when they stay silent about what they really think of the Gaza war? No secret police is going to drag them out of bed in the middle of the night, and no one is going to slip polonium into their tea. I myself have never felt physically #GazaWar #FreeSpeech #FearOfSpeaking #GZ

On Kyiv’s squares, democracy is alive: citizens openly criticise their president and demand he bring back defence minister Fedorov. The protesters have nothing to fear. In Russia, that courage means prison, a labour camp, poison or a bullet. That’s the difference. #Kyiv #Democracy #Protests #UA #RU

Chechnya in NATO 2034 A free and democratic Chechnya, if it one day emerges as an internationally recognized state, deserves the opportunity to choose its own future. My vision is simple: 🇨🇿 Freedom over oppression. 🛡️ Security over fear. 🤝 Partnership over isolation. 🌍 A https://t.co/aO6XDgNtVQ #Chechnya #NATO #Freedom #CZ

Fearless. Two years ago an assassin tried to take President @realDonaldTrump’s life. Just a few months later the Commander-in-Chief went back to finish his speech. And to pay his respects to Chief Corey Comperatore and his surviving family who we were all honored to meet. https://t.co/35WSkP5R5A #Fearless #Leadership #Honor #US

For @enkocz, I tried to describe the phenomenon of fear speech, that is, aggressive campaigns depicting Jews, migrants, Ukrainians, LGBT people, or other individuals as an acute threat to the rest of society. A proven and effective response is the creation of counter-narratives, which I also write about: https://t.co/daUPR3dJiX https://t.co/JN3KJc4cqt (translated)

Filozof Tomáš Koblížek ve své eseji upozorňuje na narůstající vliv manipulační fear speech, která cíleně vyvolává strach vůči marginalizovaným skupinám v českém a evropském veřejném diskurzu, a zdůrazňuje potřebu silného příběhu, který této zastrašující rétorice odolá. #fearspeech #dezinformace #nenávist

You will not break Europe. Putin launched massive missile attacks on Ukraine before the NATO Summit, hoping fear would influence our decisions. He miscalculated. Europe has seen this tactic before. Terror will not change our principles. Ballistic missiles will not divide NATO. https://t.co/Vd4XSuLjec #StandWithUkraine #NATOSolidarity #DefendEurope #EU #UA #NATO

An interesting twist to this is that many cite the fear of Russia striking Finland as a reason for trip cancellations and not investing here. This was the unintended consequence of joining NATO. It made us a target and many outside Finland understand it. #Russia #Finland #NATO #FI #RU #NATO

I fear that the economy of Helsinki is about to collapse. I just returned from a road-trip to northern Norway, and I honestly have not seen the center of Helsinki this empty during my 16 years here. Everyone I talk to also blames the same thing: closure of our eastern border. #Helsinki #Economy #BorderClosure #FI #NO

The warnings about AI are real – and so is the potential. If used well, and shared widely, it could become the great equalizer of the 21st Century. The choice before us is not between faith in AI and fear of it. It is between governing by design & drifting by default. #AI #Equality #Governance #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
