We need to keep this momentum to fight to protect our neutrality, kick the US military out of Shannon, and safeguard the Triple Lock.

Shana Tova to Jewish communities and friends. Rosh Hashanah is a time for renewal and this year, a wake-up call for Europe. When antisemitism rises, silence is not neutrality. When Jewish people feel unsafe, looking away is not an option. This is our shared responsibility. https://t.co/X77NpLjpvB #ShanaTova #RoshHashanah #Antisemitism #EU

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce the “Safeguard Swiss neutrality” ballot initiative, which goes to a nationwide vote in Switzerland on 27 September.

Neutrality is not a security guarantee. It is a political declaration, not a shield. During the Cold War, Western planners explicitly considered the possibility of Soviet forces violating neutral Swiss territory, while actual Warsaw Pact war plans envisaged massive offensives #Neutrality #Security #ColdWar #Nocountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.

On 27 September, Swiss citizens will vote on the ballot initiative “Safeguard Swiss neutrality”. Superficially, its promise can sound appealing: peace, sovereignty, and permanent armed neutrality.

Sweden is preparing for a possible war conflict, including practicing burials and planning capacity for up to half a million dead, which indicates a deteriorating security situation in Europe and a return to military planning after more than two centuries of neutrality. (translated)

We need the #USMilitaryOutOfShannon. We must stop the complicity in the terrorism being perpetrated around the world by the US. The government wants to ignore our complicity and abandon our neutrality. They want to tie us even closer the US & NATO by scrapping the triple lock. https://t.co/Ue3c7XU71N #USMilitaryOutOfShannon #Neutrality #StopUSComplicity #US

Multiculturalism or Liberalism… You Can’t Have Both Canada’s Combating Hate Act received royal assent on June 18 and became law in July, defining hatred as an intense and extreme emotion and extending emotion’s reach into government and criminal law. Supporters cite a 169% rise in reported hate crimes from 2018 to 2024, but the increase reflects predictable outcomes when groups with deep historical, cultural, and religious conflicts are placed together in large numbers while assuming differences will fade. “Diversity is our strength” can’t replace shared culture: cooperation at scale requires shared values and norms. Import enough difference quickly while demanding universal tolerance, and social order begins to fracture, leaving strangers who share a passport but little else—so the state steps in to do what culture once did. Multiculturalism can drift toward authoritarianism: the state expands to manage conflicts, neutrality becomes impossible without common standards, and unequal treatment follows. Britain illustrates the danger, with thousands of arrests in 2023 under communications laws for alleged offensive messages and long sentences for single posts. Meanwhile, authorities have shown hesitation toward major crimes involving protected communities, often citing fears of racism and community harm—creating a double standard. Canada also has examples, such as the Gladue principles, which require sentencing judges to consider the circumstances of Indigenous offenders, letting group identity influence state treatment. The multicultural liberal state was sold as open, tolerant, and equal—but if groups won’t “melt,” or fundamentally oppose one another, the result is increasingly unequal laws, more surveillance, and less liberty. Multiculturalism and liberalism are incompatible: without shared cultural standards, a society will be governed from above through laws, courts, and coercion.

The Tolerance That Censors Institutions preach tolerance, yet disagreement is increasingly punished. As protected classes expand, demands for compliance, surveillance, and reporting grow. A tolerance-saturated society becomes hostile to dissent. Many call it hypocrisy, but the contradiction may be strategy. In 1965, Herbert Marcuse’s *Repressive Tolerance* argued that liberal “equal hearing” can perpetuate oppression. “Liberating tolerance,” he claimed, must discriminate: intolerance toward the Right, tolerance toward the Left. Why? Classical Marxism expected industrial workers to revolt from misery. Instead, comfort increased and revolution stalled. The Frankfurt School offered a remedy: capitalism colonized consciousness, creating “false consciousness.” If factory revolt won’t start, revolution must begin in the formation of minds—culture, education, psychology, entertainment. If so, neutrality becomes the enemy. Free debate spreads the system’s ideas. Elections let prisoners choose their preferred warden. Liberal freedoms act as “steam valves,” releasing pressure to prevent revolt. Tolerance becomes directional: oppressive ideas are suppressed; liberating ideas are amplified. Censorship and punishment are reframed as freedom’s highest expression. Marcuse also recognized liberal resistance to censorship and proposed “emergency” suspensions when oppression is deemed urgent—a logic echoed when speech is treated as harm and coercion as protection. The unsettling possibility is that nothing is malfunctioning: tolerance may function as a weapon. The final stage requires no visible censor—the individual internalizes it, policing their own thoughts.

Austria has committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2040, raising concerns about the economic impacts and transformative demands on industry, particularly in the context of the planned reduction of emissions and changes in the energy sector, with some experts warning that this may lead to significant job losses and a decline in economic performance.
