The EU doesn’t represent the interests of ordinary people.

Merz doesn’t want to change anything, yet he wants different results. Insanity.

EU Inc. also seemed to have good intentions, making a company across borders in the EU really is a pain in the ass that’s genuinely crippling quite a lot of upcoming companies, but now its clear that it is just a whip to attack workers with.

The intent behind laws really does not matter, all that matters is what’s written down and actually legally binding.

True, tech bros lobbied the European commission to implement this dystopian 1984-style shit in order to get even more data to train their AIs.

This isn’t about protecting the children. That’s just an excuse to further promote mass surveillance and to exempt companies from responsibility for the additive design of their products and services.

This only serves to favour large corporations. It’s easier and more rewarding to penalize the users and smaller businesses.

Furthermore this will make all game servers that do not collect users’ personal data illegal in the EU, including discontinued and community-run ones, even if authorized by the publisher.

Political system ≠ Political position

But if we go down that way, the USA isn’t an example to follow either, as it has taken even worse positions.

No, thanks.

We need to become more like Switzerland, not America. Direct democracy is the way, fire all unelected bureaucrats!

LoL

EU leaders, who dream about implementing chat control at all costs, are even more radically against encryption.

AfD is the result of the self-imposed austerity mania that Germany has proudly pursued, which has led to such a lack of investment that even the most basic needs, such as infrastructure repairs, have been neglected.

EU countries have already lost this AI race.

And that’s one of the greatest proofs that people across different cultures are more alike than different.

Trump is burning the republic for Rubio, Vance or another to inherit the dictatorship.

Just make it random.

Parliament should be a representative sample of the population. The best, bias-free way to achieve this is through random selection. If that sample turns out to be mediocre and unable to make any meaningful decisions, it is because the population itself needs to improve. Time to invest in education.

He’s a fascist painted with a faded red star, but even the Nazi flag used a bit of red. For the well informed, it’s actually a classic.

Ok, but democracy is still failing here if laws are passed in the EU in such a scummy way.

It has been approved, it seems that democracy is dead in the EU.

Because they’re trying to suppress the public reaction.

You won’t hear about this on prime-time TV news, and it’s even censored on some more popular parts of the internet, like Reddit.

The primary purpose of AI systems is mass surveillance.

In a Christian state, kissing in public is also prohibited. People in the West have forgotten this because, here, countries are secular, even though Christianity is the dominant religion.

For example, in my country, Portugal, before the Carnation Revolution of April 25, 1974, which introduced secularism, kissing in public or even holding hands was prohibited. The penalty could range from a simple fine to imprisonment. There was even a crime of “vadiagem” if you were caught in public, say, in a park, doing nothing during standard weekly working hours.

The previous regime in Portugal, the Salazarist Estado Novo, is generally described by historians as a quasi-fascist, Christian-Nationalist regime.

Even North Korea doesn’t need to be that extreme, and they are currently the most mono-ethnic country on Earth. These guys just want to be cruel, the rest is just an excuse.
