EU should be deploying the bazooka on American tech anyway. American business patterns are abusive and predatory completely ignoring public good and privacy concerns. Its past the time to be sitting on hands in reining them in. Force them out and replace them with local businesses that follow the rules.
The same goes for the EU's stance on gaza-- we are well past the "wait and see" stage of anything and into delays being little more than paid corruption and implicit genocide support.
Trump is right on one assumption, the EU is as weak and ineffective on these matters as he is. The larger EU markets are like baby birds with their mouths open waiting for the US to vomit food into their mouths.
lefties take that word "liberal" as an insult. Was that your intent? If I was a liberal I wouldnt be advocating burning the DNC down, but maybe you dont use the same phrasing as I do. I used to call myself a liberal 20 years ago when it didnt mean DNC centrist. Now liberal = centrist and its usually used as an insult.
Also, Anarchy is defined as an absence of government, is that truly your solution for the questions of government? Being blunt-- I dont see how you'll get much done with anarchy besides having fun for yourself, and itll inevitably devolve to might-makes-right, which has inherently bad outcomes that are darn close to authoritarianism.
Are you young? I remember being in my 20s and talking about anarchy, that was fun. But I also held a lot of petitions, cleaned a lot of piss off of.. everything from shelters, worked with refugees, beat sick kids at Candy Land as a playroom coordinator in a hospital cancer ward, painted and constructed houses, held classes for kids around how to eat healthy, called for donations, knocked on doors for candidates, volunteered in a list of organizational celebrations and functions, and I'm still at it because I dont know what else I can do. My wife does nothing but community work that occasionally brings in grant funding.
all of that would be a lot less possible under anarchy. So I dont see the end goal of what you are doing and how you are choosing to do it. If you think I am wrong on that I'd be curious to know why. Yes, it increasingly feels futile, hence my asking this question.
Anarchy seems like a ... dilettante's solution to a set of real and pressing issues that probably cruelly add pain to a lot of good people who didn't end up with as much luck in life as you and I enjoy. I'm not about to starve and I dont worry about money much.
I'd be proud to personally sponsor a small metal cage (surplus from guantanamo) leg and arm shackles, and a few orange jumpsuits for this noble cause. Or several, if we can get gallant, netenyahu, smotrich, and ben-gvir too. Proper justice gets expensive.
Canadians were mega pissed at americans back in March. I'm not sure how much lower we can sink in their estimation. 0% favorability is coming up quick.
Hitler rose to power because 85 year old centrist idiot Paul von Hindenburg appointed hitler chancellor and then promptly dropped dead of old age, in office, one year into his term. Hindenburg did this right after he had won a presidential election while not giving a single campaign speech or debate, and having not much in the way of policy because he was too dementia ridden. There was 86% voter turnout in that election.
A big reason Hitlers party rose to total control after that is because the population lost all trust in the centrists. Sound familiar?
I'll take crabs in a bucket if you'll take humans with your heads crammed up republican rears. Deal?
