🟢 Germany is rearming. How do other Europeans feel about it? We asked 9,000+ people in six EU countries. 2/3 back it, but not everywhere. Support not always = trust. Top worry: Germany’s political future. Germany must rearm, but also reassure. Read the Brief 👉 eu.boell.org/en/german-re...

Studie: Manosphere vs progressive Influencer. Für @boelleu.bsky.social habe ich untersucht, wie progressive und rechte Influencer junge Männer in DE, FR, UK ansprechen.

Progressive creators start with politics. Then they debunk. Across France, Germany and the UK, 47 to 53% of progressive influencer content is defensive. Bridge-building makes up less than 20%. eu.boell.org/en/reaching-...
The way forward > From countering to connecting. 5 moves for progressives to reach young men: 1. Start with their lives, not politics 2. Say what you’re for, not just what you’re against 3. Speak to feelings, not only facts 4. Show progressive masculinity in action 5. Build a progressive youthsphere

Why is the ‘manosphere’ reaching many young men? What are progressives missing? eu.boell.org/en/reaching-...
How the manosphere does it? It doesn’t start with politics. It starts with young men’s lives. Fitness, gaming, dating, jobs, housing. Then comes the belonging, then the scapegoats. eu.boell.org/en/reaching-...

🟢 Britain’s new PM has said that #Brexit was a mistake and Britain should have a much closer relationship with the EU. @rostaylor.bsky.social looks at what that relationship could look like, and asks whether there is a chance the #UK will rejoin the EU or the single market 👇 @boell.de

New piece for @boelleu.bsky.social Since rejoining the single market means freedom of movement, you might as well just rejoin. But Burnham needs to work out how to make the case for it. And he just hates talking about immigration. eu.boell.org/en/2026/10/0...

🐄 9 of the most active agrifood industry actors reported spending over €50m on lobbying while the EU pesticide reduction law was under debate 🏛️ The 45 largest meat & dairy corporations emit around one bn tonnes of GHG a year, which would rank them 9th globally if they were a country
