  1. https://www.fcstpauli.com/en/news/published/fc-st-pauli-withdraws-from-x/ FC St. Pauli withdraws from X Thursday, 14. November 2024, 12:00 Uhr FC St. Pauli is withdrawing from the social media platform, X. The Boys in Brown joined the platform in 2013 and had 250,000 followers. Announcing its reasons for withdrawing, the club said that owner Elon Musk had turned a space for debate into an amplifier of hate that was capable of influencing the German parliamentary election campaign. Since taking over Twitter, as the platform was previously known, Musk has converted X into a hate machine. Racism and conspiracy theories are allowed to spread unchecked and even curated. Insults and threats are seldom sanctioned and are sold as freedom of speech. In addition, following his election victory Donald Trump has picked Musk to head up a new government department. Musk was a major backer of the Trump campaign and also used X for this purpose. It is to be assumed that X will also promote authoritarian, misanthropic and far-right content during the forthcoming German election campaign, this manipulating the public discourse. FC St. Pauli had already curbed its use of X and increasingly posted political statements in support of diversity and inclusion to make a stand against hate. Now the club is ceasing its activity on X. The account will no longer be used, but the content of the last 11 years will remain online in view of its contemporary historical value. The club would like to thank its members for the critical exchange on what to do about X and calls on its followers on the platform to switch to BlueSky. FC St. Pauli’s English account will also move to BlueSky.

  4. Trump voters who think he'll run the country like a business have forgotten how many times his businesses have filed for bankruptcy. @Dr. Gonzo Ohio isn't much of a swing state anymore... it's been red for the past 3 elections iirc. I think we went blue for both of Obama's terms. @Gunnersaurus I live on the outskirts of a metro region but my county always votes overwhelmingly Republican so my vote gets swallowed up. The majority of my coworkers vote Republican, although during this past election many of them were torn after seeing how bad Trump's first term went. I voted for Bernie in the Democratic primary when he was up against Hillary but that was a lost cause considering she and the Dems sabotaged his campaign.

  9. There 100% have been corrupt refs in the Premier League for years in my opinion. Most likely involved with betting syndicates, when you have something which is clear as daylight. Plus you have VAR helping you, then 100% there is something dodgy going on.

  10. Unfortunately nations aren't businesses, and using strong arm strategies (his Phil's bald head tariffs) will only harm the USA short and long term. Also he'll 'end the war' in Ukraine by pulling all support from Ukraine and then telling them they have to give Russia Luhansk and Donbass, which is exactly what Putin wants because the sanctions on russia will lift.
