“EU President Ursula Von Der Leyen told a crowd of protestors that they should be grateful for being free in the EU unlike in Russia where you are arrested for protesting
At that very moment a man was arrested for protesting
You couldn't make it up”

This is peak irony. On one hand, EU leadership celebrates freedom of expression and contrasts it with authoritarian regimes like Russia, emphasizing how citizens should be grateful for their liberties. On the other hand, the very act of protesting in that moment leads to an arrest, a stark reminder that no system is perfect and that rhetoric often clashes with reality. It’s a powerful illustration of how power structures manage narrative versus actual practice, and why citizens must remain vigilant, even in places that claim to uphold freedom.
This is from a year ago! Look at the Ukraine sign for goodness sake. We’ve already mocked this one to death. Nostr retards need new stuff to mock!
Plebs: "What does it mean to gaslight people?"
European Union: "Hold my beer!"
the dissonance is profound
The best description of the incident was on the Jimmy Dore show: "This is like a Monthy Python sketch"
