Weird how you’re getting downvoted when it’s just facts. No reasoning or anything either.

Good good. Keep emptying your workforce until there’s nothing left but AI slop that crumbles under its own weight.

It seems to be mostly focused on detaching themselves from the us and dealing w other enemies like Russia / china , not so much ending funding for genocide (CMIIW)

Appreciate the explanation

I thought it was like the UN, where the US, UK, France, Russia and China had veto powers and could essentially single-handedly block any move repeatedly regardless of what any other country (asides from these) vied for.

It seems the kind of majorities the EU requires for legislation to pass makes it so that one naturally loses any real hope for change for the EU, since someone or the other will realistically always be blocking legislation.

Germany has a bad history with fascism, and is no different today, and it being more populous doesn’t help.

How come Germany and Italy get to block the move when you have FIVE other countries pushing for it?

Do they have veto power or some shit?

This is something important not enough people are talking about.

Ukraine has a legitimate concern (Russian imperial aggravation) but it appears to be convoluting itself with Zelensky himself (apparently? need a source) being tied to Israel and EU never growing a sack in its response to Israel — i.e. actual sanctions and cutting off trade instead of just verbally condemning at best (and promoting it by criminalizing Palestine action at worst).

Amazing concept ruined by the constant verification on every message.

Europe bureaucracy is quite corrupt.

Except technology will be used instead for the exact opposite — techno-fascism.

AI and technology at large are funded and developed by the corrupt elite abusing power and their position in the hierarchy, further entrenching the hierarchy and their ability to abuse it for their own interests.

Although it is possible for tech to be used for good, that is an idealistic outlook that’s unlikely to occur in reality (at least in the sense of it doing away with abuse of hierarchy).

I think that bureaucracy is inherently problematic (corrupt).

I’m fairly familiar with the notion of a direct democracy and can get behind it otherwise.

Thats kind of why I am skeptical of any communist movement that isn’t explicitly also anarchist (i.e. intending to destroy hierarchy). It leads to what you described

Well I’m glad you can say that.

In my experience there are people who defend both China and “DPRK” as a communist paragon with reasoning that is although extensive dodges any real criticism of China (from either an external standpoint, or from within a communist pov).

It was my impression that such “tankies” are the primary base of communists (or common enough for it to be a problem), which pushed me away from it.

In practice, it isn’t, usually. None of the communist states extant today or historically had a decentralized system without hierarchies.

We’re talking anarchism, not communism

Yes

Still, trying to make Iran the enemy is problematic.

And based on what evidence have you determined that the EU is genuinely reconstructing things behind the scenes and will actually stop being a sycophant for the US?

There’s the credit card and tech shift but I’m skeptical of the EU. There’s little historical precedent that doesn’t suggest they’d support the US (despite some badmouthing), and the German leader/head of the EU shuts down palestinian protests in the name of “freedom of speech”. Zionism.

The majority of Israel’s citizens think the apartheid is okay.

It’s something they’re indoctrinated into believing.

So remind me why the EU hasn’t started sanctioning and directly opposing the US in its wars and everything lately? Anything that actually hits them, beyond just “we strongly condemn”?

And there’s Japan, despite the image for technological advancement — still relies hard on cards and/or physical forms of currency and payments.

Israel’s flag.
