Could somebody explain to me precisely how either of those things have anything to do with “DEI”? Or what Nazism and Islamism have to do with Marxism for that matter?

Oh, piss off - we’re not the ones doing it; call your buddy Trump and tell him how you feel.

Also: Italy, could you please clean your fucking shit up?

“A sufficiently broken clock can randomly be right an arbitrary number of times per day”.

Y’all hear that, Americans? Having opinions is no longer allowed. I’d ask you what you think of that, but I wouldn’t want to get you into trouble.

Remind me what Vance had to say about our lack of freedom of speech in the EU again?

What. The. Fuck.

Russia: Give us all your shit!

Ukraine: Help! Russia is stealing all our shit!

US: Just give us all your shit, and then we’ll protect our shit from Russia.

While I don’t mind laissez-faire in principle, that not my favorite anarcho-flavor and I don’t wanna :)

Hell, why even have organic search results at all? Just rank results by how much each site owner is willing to bribe pay. A protection racket for the 21st century.

“That’s a nice website you’ve got there. It’d be a shame if it got no visitors.”

What a waste of bandwidth, energy and time.

I can’t tell if this is satire or not, and that is more than a little concerning.

Sure, let’s erode the idea that words have actual meaning some more. After all, there’s no need to change laws if we can just change the definition of the things they cover instead.

Maybe the meaning of ‘taxation’ should be changed to ‘racket’ while we’re at it.

Oh? Have the Russians learned to make their own ball bearings without Germany assistance yet? How about CNC machines, laser cutters, plasma drilling, advanced robotics, ASML EUV litography machines…?

Have Russian developers been allowed write access to the Linux kernel source tree again?

No, no. I’m sure you’re right - they’re doing fine on their own. Vacuum tubes are very versatile in the right hands.

Where “War Fever” should be read as “Self-defense Desire”. I think the EU has long since proven beyond any shadow of doubt that they’d much, much rather spend their money on other things.

Something here is “void and vacant” to be sure, but it isn’t Biden’s pardons.

“You can have two.”

“Snack-sized packs?”

“No.”

I can sincerely say that I’m certain the results will be exactly as riveting as they are productive.

Da de lovede mig “radikale pandekager”, var det her ikke hvad jeg havde i tankerne. Jeg troede at der ville være krymmel, sprut eller måske endda guldfolie.

That sounds like an even better reason to vote against them than the original bad decision already was. It’s always the coverup that gets them in the end, isn’t it?

If you can’t operate in compliance with local law, you don’t get to operate at all. Welcome to the EU where laws still matter, Elon.

I suppose doubling down on being an utter useless fool is still easier on the ego than owning up to having negligently murdered your own daughter.

So he’s a coward too. Lovely.

They won’t have your back when push comes to shove.

Not only that, but every historical example I can think of clearly demonstrates that Russia have only ever considered any nation falling under their sway as vassals, at best - a resource to be exploited for Russian gain. I know of no evidence that Russia even understands the notion of win-win situations; they’ve always been transactional zero-sum gamers. No wonder Trump likes them so much.

Up until recently, that was - from the perspective of a minor state caught between large players - one of the primary differences between the US on one hand and Russian on the other, with China waffling somewhere in between. Sure, the US threw their weight around too, but at least they had the good sense to ensure that those on their team got sufficient benefits out of it that people wanted to stay on the team.

Then Trump went and fucked that up royally seven ways to Sunday.

Now, if someone wants free trade and a chance of peace and prosperity, there’s really only the EU left.
