We’re to the left of the US but if you look around Europe, our parliaments and governments are full with right wing extremists. The so-called centrists are politically and rhetorically where today’s Nazis were 10-15 years ago (at least that’s how the Nazis presented themselves to the public while they still had to).
Otherwise I do think your explanation makes sense.
Yeah you would. It depends on the exact implementation and luckily with so many countries involved there’s a lot less possibility to get consensus on privacy invasions, but from a technical perspective there’s nothing that stops the EU from later changing what they agreed upon now.
So what this means is that you’ll have to trust the EU that
A proper replacement for cash is Monero. I know blockchain useless and crypto bad and all but that’s a real private digital currency where you’d have to be wanted by the CIA or Mossad to even face the threat of having your payments tracked.
You can say anything you want but it doesn’t mean that what you’re saying makes any sense.
Yeah like why would former colonial powers who both had the ambition once to conquer all of Europe be untrustworthy? I’m sure they won’t ever get drunk on power and start bullying their smaller neighbors, oh wait…
No that was my personal take, and Germans can downvote me as much as they want but they’re a shitty neighbor and I don’t need them to show up as a “strong leader”. It seems to me that even the progressives there are mostly ignorant as to how seriously bad the current trajectory is, and they expect us to trust them?
IMO centralized power is always bad but especially bad in a country that has a terrible fascist history and that seems to be repeating its mistakes while being offended by anyone who warns them about it because they still believe they learned their lesson and are now the main moral instance on combatting fascism.
Yeah agree, Germany arming up and wanting to be strong leaders again is something we should fear, not cheer at.
Maybe, but I haven’t read this stuff a couple years ago and media seems more right wing now than ever, I actually don’t even want to be right here so I hope I’m just panicking
Not a dude and uhh are you unpleasant.
I don’t think you get it. Calling the EU "Brussels“ is something right wing media loves to do and it’s not a simple whatever that word is you just mentioned, it’s being used as part of a disintegration campaign against the EU.
There are many things wrong with the EU but that’s another discussion, I won’t ever stop comparing about fascist rhetoric being spread.
Can we just fucking stop calling the EU “Brussels”?

Yeah to think about how many teenagers never got to actually live because of one psychopath treating life like a video game, and that is ignoring all the civilians who pointlessly died in this too.
Like if I think about how much has happened to me since I’m 18 it horrifies me that they never got to experience any of that.
