Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves

Plenty of pro-Palestine protests and meetings here; outside Barclays, protesting specific businesses, sharing information in our most popular streets for tourism and shopping, musical protests at art galleries. Plenty going on, never even seen a police presence at these.
Not to say it isn’t happening, but trying to paint Europe as some pro-Zionist totality is weird.

Not sure how talking about local and country-wide support for Palestine, and against the zionist genocide enacted by Israel, makes me supportive of Israel but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

You are whitewashing the EU and UK complicit regimes that do everything to stifle protest.
Nothing is more obvious and blatant.
There is no conceivable reason to do that unless you have an agenda.
You can play dumb, that’s another typical hasbara tactic.

Just stating how it is. There is so much, rightful, support for Palestine here and it isn’t being suppressed.
Does the UK and Europe suppress protests? Absolutely. Look at what has happened with climate focused organisations. Look at what has happened with trans rights.
But, thankfully, that isn’t happening for Palestinian causes and even the explicitly anti-Israel protests against council use of Neptune Intelligence Computer Engineering go ahead without issue.
