Don’t care, use Linux.

It’s the ethical choice.

Don’t put yourself in the learned helplessness box

That’s basically every westerner passing judgement about China, so I’ll take it that his artistic message punched through

Depends on the country, of course there were politicians that disagreed on principle, but the voting on the issue wasn’t done by MEPs , if it’s MEPs you messaged

Broke nation sells out national security… more at 11

The rejection of the bill wasn’t on principle, but technicalities, if you look at most countries that opposed, the bill will be back with edits, Denmark is already aiming for December

The demands from this admin are meant to specifically crush the spirit of the EU.

deregulate your car legislation and tear up your pedestrian friendly capitals

deregulate your food safety laws, and allow cheap US slop to destroy the traditional EU food scene (no more gruyère, you’re gonna have Cheez Whiz)

deregulate your green sector, time to pump those pollution numbers up

I can see that, tbf, thanks for the explanation

Europe… the guys that want backdoors into all encrypted communication… the guys that want to give Google a big fat contract for app attestatio for their age verification apps…

Europe…? You guys thought of Europe? I feel like the entire EU policy right now is anathema to an Open Source Phone

We can be as ideologically similar, policy-wise, we’re an obedient dog with a masochism kink.

“Yes daddy Trump, we’ll take all your child killer gas guzzlers and destroy our urban planning for more car friendly cities. What’s that? Yes sure we’ll also take a 15% tariff, and we’ll do it with a smile”

It has a lot to do with the article, because of our superiority complex and literally EU politicians saying “we don’t need China, China needs us more than we need them”.

Dealing with China would’ve been a good counterbalance against being screwed over by the US tariff wise.

However, now we have to open up our markets to American cars and ractopamine pork from the US (yes, the deal also includes deregulating EU food safety standards).

Our gloating is literally destroying our standards of life

I live in Europe, I also prefer Euro grass. I just want us to stop thinking we’re the shit, when we’re actually shit and no one cares about the EU because nothing worthwhile comes from this continent atm

The name is literally a generated Docker container name, anyways, I’m European.

What propaganda? That China is by all means, the world’s largest manufacturer, and pushing the envelope in terms of Military Industrial innovations, STEM graduates per capita, etc?

I go to China for work regularly, besides people looking to model France’s ability to get people to fall in love with its brands, no one there cares about the EU, because they see it as worthless and stuck.

The EU should be humble for once and learn how to do manufacturing from the Chinese.

Ignoring China as a world player is naive

I love how the UK today is basically: “give us more surveillance powers so we don’t do anything about it… unless you’re a dissident”

When you accept and reframe the situation from the POV that the EU is an American vassal, everything will click into place.

God forbid we align closer with China and create a Eurasian pole of power /s
