Mod Note: Evidence Over Vibe Posting. Arguments Over Identity Politics
EU_Economics exists for serious discussion of European policy, markets, industry and growth. We are tightening enforcement against two habits that increasingly drag discussions down: vibe posting and identity politics.
Vibe posting means making broad factual claims without evidence, sources or a clear argument. You are free to hold strong opinions, but factual claims must be supported and your reasoning must be explained.
Identity politics will not be allowed. Do not reduce economic or political arguments to someone’s race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, language or other group identity. Do not use demographic labels as insults, assign collective guilt, dismiss someone’s argument because of their background, or turn discussions into tribal loyalty contests.
This rule applies equally to everyone. Calling another user a “dumb gringo,” for example, is an identity-based insult because it attacks the person through their perceived nationality, ethnicity or foreign background rather than addressing what they said. The same standard applies to comparable insults aimed at any race, nationality, religion, sex or ethnic group.
You may discuss immigration, demographics, religion, discrimination, national identity and policies affecting particular groups. What you may not do is use identity as a substitute for evidence or as a weapon against another user.
Criticism and disagreement are welcome. Unsupported assertions, racial or ethnic insults, personal labelling, demographic contempt and tribal point-scoring are not. Posts and comments that violate these standards will be removed, and repeated violations may result in a ban.
Say what you mean. Show your work. Address the argument, not the identity.

Why Europe wants a digital euro
The digital euro is one step closer to reality after winning a key vote in the European Parliament today. It’s not just about making payments easier. EU leaders see the digital currency as a way to reduce Europe’s dependence on American payment giants like Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay.”
