Happy reproached influencers and the media for denouncing material violence while tolerating another form of violence. He believed that anger was legitimate and that they would not understand it as long as they remained, in his opinion, bourgeois "in their ivory tower." https://t.co/zbbQO5nOWI #violence #influenceurs #société (translated)

Martin Bosma wrote that according to him the NOS downplayed the riots in France and Italy as much as possible because they would present a negative image of diversity.

Marcin Edo wrote that Piotr W. was called a "knife man" by Donald Tusk and government media. He added that the prosecutor's office lost in court a case regarding a detention request that Judge Anna Kuzaj did not consider. Edo also used offensive terms towards Tusk and the government. #Polska #sąd #prawo (translated)
Piotr Kusznieruk accused Joanna Makosa of portraying Piotr as an attacker using a knife, although — as he wrote — such an attack has not been confirmed. He urged her to reveal the wires she claimed to rely on and demanded clarification on whether there was a lack of accuracy or a conscious spreading of false information. He deemed that uncritically basing a serious accusation on a single source indicated a lack of journalistic skill. Kusznieruk wrote that depicting Piotr as a "knife-wielder" could expose him and his family to hostility. He emphasized that threats against anyone were unacceptable, but they did not absolve one from responsibility for their own words. He demanded a clear correction on TVP and public apologies, assessing that attributing it to a mistake was insufficient. He also criticized the funding of public television with taxpayers' money and noted that Piotr and his family were likely not laughing. #dziennikarstwo #media #społeczeństwo (translated)
Flick asked why everyone contributed to the public broadcaster, which according to the author was behind the riots in France.

Konrad Krasuski published a summary of his materials regarding DIOZ and encouraged sharing them with people who have just learned about the organization's activities. He wrote that his publications addressed issues including finances and fundraising, allegations of harassment and manipulation, testimonies from affected individuals, experts, and former employees, as well as leaks of recordings from the president of DIOZ, controversial veterinary procedures, and the export of animals abroad. Among the mentioned materials, he also pointed out his response to DIOZ's explanations, his confrontation with the organization's president during a protest, the issue of money from poultry farms and techno parties at the animal center, for which — as he wrote — DIOZ was fundraising. He also mentioned a case related to ZOO Łączna. #DIOZ #afera #zwierzęta (translated)
Little Think Tank wrote that he was exhausted by contradictory accusations. He indicated that, according to some factions, some suspected him of being funded by left-wing relatives or directly by the Macron government. He predicted that both supporters of Russia and Ukraine would then accuse him of being financed by the FSB or the SBU and of being anti-Western. He also anticipated opposing criticisms after the release of a video showing, according to him, a massacre of Palestinians committed by the Israeli army in Gaza: some would label him pro-Hamas, while others would accuse him of concealing murders committed by the IDF. Finally, he mentioned future accusations of being in the pay of NATO while being anti-European, then close to Donald Trump and anti-American. #politique #désinformation #Médias (translated)

Sammallahti wrote that Greta Thunberg had said in France that young people were rising in rebellion because the system, in her view, was in conflict with human rights and humanity. Sammallahti interpreted that based on Thunberg's previous speeches, she meant Western market economy and democracy. Sammallahti suggested that the University of Helsinki could study the mass psychosis he described that has spread in the West. He claimed it had raised Thunberg to a cult-like status and said that the media, the academic world, and the left had tried to pressure even whole nation-states to yield to her will. He described Thunberg as far-left and accused her of deceit. https://t.co/6fSmoZpzW1 #ilmastonmuutos #nuorisokapina #demokratia (translated)
Max Hübner wrote that the court could not impose temporary detention on Piotr because — as he claimed — there was no physical assault on the police officers. He added that if such an assault had occurred, Piotr would not have avoided detention. Hübner stated that the court's decision confirmed his earlier accusation that Tusk's government, his media, and Kierwiński's police were lying. #sąd #polityka #sprawiedliwość (translated)
Victoire Populaire 2027, relaying information from Libération, wrote that the Spanish daily El País placed the responsibility for the damage of October 17 on Emmanuel Macron. According to the account, the newspaper had also estimated that the last remnants of macronism had burned and that a political decade had ignited the anger of citizens who felt they were living worse than they were ten years ago. The account contrasted this interpretation with that of the dominant media in France, which it accused of shifting the responsibility onto Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the rebellious candidate in the presidential election. #Macron #ElPaís #Média (translated)
