Anuj wrote that he understood Rufián's decision not to lead the left, despite some people feeling betrayed. He argued that taking on that role would have meant leaving his party to head a space marked, as he said, by disputes between Podemos, Sumar, and other parties that had not demonstrated a common project over the past four years. He added that Rufián had faced criticism for exploring new ideological positions on security. Anuj maintained that a united candidacy would hardly have been able to govern and that, after an electoral defeat, the space could fragment again after a month. For this reason, he considered it absurd to sacrifice Rufián in the name of unity. He said the situation would have been different if Sumar, Podemos, and the other parties had shown coexistence and a shared project. #Política #Unidad #Izquierda (translated)

Kutil then compared Filip Turek to Don Quixote, who fought against windmills, and Petr Macinka to his nodding sidekick Sancho. He wrote that Turek set off against the wind turbines in a thirsty eight-cylinder Mercedes G-Class, while behind him stood a coal mine. The author ironically added that the result of such a battle could be a landscape marked by quarries, tailings ponds, and chimneys, and questioned the idea that an opponent of wind farms must be a hero. #DonQuijote #českákrajina #větrnéelektrárny (translated)

Xico Graziano criticized Lilia Schwacz for a video in which, according to him, the professor said she would use Pix as much as possible because Flávio Bolsonaro could end the system by order of Donald Trump. Graziano classified the statement as false and questioned whether Schwacz knew this or truly believed that a victory for Bolsonaro would leave Brazil subservient to the United States. The author highlighted that Schwacz was a professor of Anthropology at USP, a Global Scholar from Princeton, an award-winning writer, and the owner of the publishing house Cia das Letras. He also stated that she was elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters in March 2024 for chair 9. Graziano compared the video to her inauguration speech two years earlier, in which, according to him, Schwacz had advocated for the strengthening of institutions and citizenship. Graziano questioned whether the professor had used her prestige to deceive the public and speculated about the reasons for the publication, mentioning the possibility that she had consumed alcohol or was out of touch with reality due to living in an academic bubble. He also associated the episode with what he described as an old ideology of the Brazilian intellectual left, formed in the 1950s and 1960s and still linked to the class struggle. #FakeNews #Cidadania #Antropologia (translated)

The first group is made up of people with a clear fascination for violence, also for fascist ideology. "The second group consists of people fascinated by the world of video games and who draw inspiration for what they do from that world. The third group consists of people who were 'activated' by the fact that the subject is in the spotlight," said Donald Tusk. #Polónia #SegurançaPública #Violência (translated)

NeoJudgeTuleya wrote that in recent hours, information about a possible attack on the prime minister and deputy prime minister was conveyed through special services, and urgent meetings were held at the Anti-Terrorist Center. The author suggested that the threat had been communicated via email and its publicity was an operation intended to divert attention from government problems. As a background, he pointed to the collapse of public finances and record state debt, knife attacks in schools, and scandals at the ministerial level, including the affair of Deputy Minister Kołodziejczak. He wrote that the authorities intentionally directed media attention to the topic of the attack in order to limit the debate on taxes, the budget deficit, and government actions. The author accused the ruling camp of fueling polarization, shifting the blame for mistakes onto political opponents, and appointing individuals who are loyal but, as he assessed, lacking competence. He also claimed that the alert about the attack was intended to provide the government with political benefits, justify state operating costs, and silence the opposition. He mentioned the creation of enemies, including the opposition and President Nawrocki. #polityka #manipulacja #bezpieczeństwo (translated)

On May 7, 2026, a fan account stated that issues had been politicized that, in their opinion, should have a consensus: reducing what the State took from citizens, protecting national identity, prioritizing nationals, and not attending to those who did not pay. They described it as "incredible" that these points had become ideological. #Política #IdentidadNacional #PrioridadNacional (translated)

Manuel Ostermann opposed the idea of Die Linke assuming government responsibility at the federal or state level. He described numerous positions of the party as ideologically radical and detached from reality, stating that they harm Germany. In his view, the country needs clear and responsible politics instead of an attack on the free democratic basic order. #Deutschland #Politik #Freiheit (translated)

Eva Selsing wrote that her criticism of modern art in B.T. could also be directed at Jens Galschiøt's Trump sculpture, which she described as vulgar kitsch. She believed that much modern art was poorly conceived and executed political contributions that conveyed propaganda for an oikophobic establishment rather than uplift or give spirit to the human condition. Selsing stated that she was not surprised that the Danish Arts Foundation supported that type of projects. She pointed out that artists, works, funds, and museums, in her view, were influenced by left-leaning individuals, and that the result was often works characterized by ugliness, death, something unpleasant, and meaninglessness. She emphasized that her criticism was not about art being provocative, but that provocation had been highlighted for decades as the only or most important task of art. She asked why art should not also show beauty, and called provocation that followed the demands of the time ideological commission work. Selsing rejected that she had the sole right to define art but believed that works that could be reduced to poorly conceived political contributions were not good art—if they were even art at all. She referred to most modern art as societal-degrading kitsch. #ModerneKunst #Kitsch #KunstDebat (translated)

Anne Nevgi wrote that she had read Hiilamo's column and found it full of ideological and anti-Israel interpretations. According to her, the bias of the column was evident in that the facts presented were interpreted in an anti-Israel way and events were framed through colonialism, racism, and whiteness. Nevgi argued that Hamas's brutality was not addressed and the origins of the Gaza conflict were not considered. She stated that the column created a misleading picture and inaccurately equated two different wars. #IsraelinKonflikti #Ideologiat #Propaganda (translated)

The mobilizations of young people for the right to housing reflect a deep discontent and a growing ideological polarization in a generation that faces an uncertain and discouraging future, which could significantly influence the upcoming elections. #Juventud #ViviendaDigna #Movilizaciones (translated)

The Hayek Club Weimar described socialism as a beneficial business model for politicians. State benefits and subsidies created dependency and thus secured voter support, the account wrote. Politicians would thereby become suppliers and citizens clients. In contrast, capitalism posed a threat to the political class, argued the Hayek Club Weimar, because it rewarded personal responsibility, innovation, and private initiative, making people more independent of the state. Regulations intended to tame the market served, according to the account, to limit competition and protect established interests. The account also accused politicians of portraying capitalism as unjust and antisocial while presenting the state as a moral authority. The state did not want free individuals but dependent subjects, wrote the Hayek Club Weimar, linking its criticism to calls for freedom and property as well as a rejection of taxes and state coercion. #FreiheitstattKnechtschaft #SteuernsindRaub #Eigentum #Freiheit #ParasitenwegmitEuremZwang #Freiheit #Kapitalismus #Sozialismus (translated)
