Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If you think the official title of a report by the Kiel Institute is a clickbait headline you really have bigger fish to fry than this discussion.

So you base your arguments on a quote of Von der Leyen, articles by business Insider and CNN and whatnot, neither of which support your dumbass take. But suddenly they're not good enough, because you've been called out on your bullshit, and you reference a mysterious previous headline by the Kiel institute that you never even linked?

please do link the Kiel institute articles from the past that have non clickbait headlines that show that we've been "hearing this constantly since 2022"

See, these are examples of similar statements
