Colleagues. I don’t feel like having to publish 20 disclaimers here to clarify exactly what I mean. People who want to understand my message will understand them. You should not look for too many “double-bottoms” or “hidden messages” in them. Do you have a problem with the “superficiality” of my post… so be it.
DETRUMPIFY YOURSELF Buy european products Travel european countries Vote pro european parties Defend european values Use european technology Use european opensource Invest in european companies
At this point, it doesn’t even make sense to refer to Microsoft, Google, etc. as ‘American’ companies any longer.
The central destructive forces in the world are truly multinational. Multinational corporations, billionaires buying entire governments. Just referring to them as ‘American’ implies that these organizations, themselves, have some loyalty to the United States.
They don’t. They hate U.S. institutions, so they bought them. They hate American citizens, so they take from them and harm them. The genuine threats to all of us, everywhere, are capitalists, and they have no loyalty or regard for anything other than themselves.
Rightwing populism is killing America. Take note, Europe. It starts with unrelenting right wing punditry and “news.” Crush misinformation sources before they become movements.
Those companies are American, yes they have offices in other locations, but they are mostly American. We need to build proper competition, in Europe.
DeTrumpify AND DeCorpify where possible.
