Unfortunately, there are no guarantees in this world. We do not even have the guarantee here in the EU that we will preserve our democratic systems, that we will not succumb to the far-right, to the neo-Nazis. In Germany alone, in recent polls, the AfD has grown and is now ahead in voting intentions, and the new Coalition government has not even taken office yet. Even seeing all the nonsense and chaos that the Trump administration has sown in America in just a few months, this has not discouraged German voters from a party of the same political line supported and financed by the same group of people. We cannot guarantee that we will not install far-right governments in our potential new allies, we cannot guarantee that they will not be destabilised, exploited or even worse. We cannot even guarantee that we will not do the same to ourselves.
Preventing this is an eternal battle that requires a certain leap of faith from everyone. This idea, for our own good, must become a fundamental part of our culture! We must unite the Democratic Forces of our countries and theirs in an eternal struggle against tyranny. We just cannot fall into the error of thinking that there are guarantees, this is a false sense of security that allows these far-right movements to grow. You may have even won great battles, but the war always continues. We can at least try to support their development and foster prosperity in good faith, not let them fall behind. Struggle, struggle, struggle ad aeternum!
The world is much bigger than just China or the United States. Perhaps Brazil and South America in general are the best candidates for better partners. Africa too, if it develops.
The countries of the European Union need to integrate more and form new alliances outside the two giants.
Just imagine: in a Europe with a single fiscal policy and a shared debt, where the euro is the dominant global currency, you could invest in Portugal or Finland in the same simple way. We would design in Europe, produce in North Africa (these countries would stabilize, develop and there would be no illegal immigrants sailing dangerously through here; later, when they develop sufficiently economically and culturally, we could even open the doors to free movement; Mare Nostrum!) and sell in South America and elsewhere. We should be the ones dictating to China and the United States the conditions for better economic cooperation, not the other way around. We should be the Global Power!
I find it particularly funny that he says Trump is being "poorly advised" on trade policy. You are already at the stage where the Czar is never to blame, it always falls on the Noble advisors at his imperial court.
Don't talk nonsense. Trump will destroy America and take Europe down the same path if he gets the chance.
The breakdown of trust in the Atlantic alliance alone is one of the worst things that could have happened to both sides and this is just the beginning. They're going to fuck themselves and they're going to fuck us in the process.
Bold of you to assume that Trump and Company won't put the average American to work for almost nothing. The planned economic recession is to convince the people to do so.
The new generation of American children will not spend most of their time studying in school, but rather working in factories for a handful of peanuts. That's Trump's America.
This guy is pathetic. After making Nazi salutes, after supporting anti-EU parties, after excusing Hitler and Stalin by saying that the genocides caused by both were exclusively the fault of their public servants, after orchestrating the illegitimate usurpation of power by the DOGE, after cutting the American public sector, after working against workers rights, after working against education, after working against the democratic institutions, after saying and doing many other stupid and destructive things, Elon felt a little, perhaps for the first time in his life, a little of the consequences of his actions. Now he appears all cute and soft-spoken, trying to improve his tarnished image, trying to raise the value of his stocks. Pathetic, it's even pitiful.
It's not worth it Elon, your image is already too much damaged. If you were truly efficient and pragmatic as you want to pretend to be and not a crybaby, you would shut up and work to get a car that can compete with the prices and quality of the competition, but you prefer to play at being a tyrant and then go and cry to the media when people react badly to you.
You can't even convince people that you're a genius anymore after that controversy about pretending to be the best PoE2 player in the world. What kind of genius would pretend to be the best player in the world in a certain game by paying others for months to play for him, only to then accidentally expose his lie by live streaming a game he clearly doesn't know how to play? Tragically pathetic.
At least one revolution is already underway, but those responsible for the current change are wearing red hats. The neo-reactionary Butterfly Revolution.
Unfortunately, most Democratic Party politicians today are the real conservatives in the sense that they simply want to preserve the old system.
And there are people who identify as Democrats but are increasingly disillusioned, who want reform or revolution in the direction of a egalitarian, democratic society with strong social welfare systems geared toward equity (let’s hope they grow in number), not in the direction of the elitist, authoritarian, technofeudalist, rigid hierarchical society proposed by adherents of the Dark Enlightenment ideas. Such people could redirect the current Butterfly Revolution in the opposite direction and foment division among Republicans.
It's not supposed to be temporary. They want to destroy the economy. They want to destroy the entire system that FDR started. They want to tear down the US and their Western allies, that's their true goal, and create something like Praxis in its place, a supposed libertarian paradise where every city and piece of land is controlled by a Corporation that has judicial and executive power over one territory, a fiefdom.
The Heritage Foundation, famous for Project 25, has its interests aligned with the technofeudalists because this measure will give enormous power to the Churches, which in essence are nothing more than Corporations too.
Opus Dei is one of the groups behind the Heritage Foundation's Project 25, whose current president is Kevin Roberts, who has an extensive history of involvement with American Catholic organizations.
Here you can see Kevin Roberts speech at CIC (Opus Dei Headquarters on K Street, Washington DC) last year,
And if you, my reader, still think this will be good for your small or medium-sized business. Remember. In a world where Corporations are Kingdoms, new entrepreneurs are separatists. They will be crushed.
Considering Peter Thiel’s stated preference for Mordor (Sauron's realm where "the very air is a poisonous fume"), there’s no doubt that he knows exactly what he’s doing,
”Gandalf’s the crazy person who wants to start a war… Mordor is this technological civilization based on reason and science. Outside of Mordor, it’s all sort of mystical and environmental and nothing works.”, Peter Thiel
When it comes to accusations in a functional state, innocence must be presumed. If they are brought to trial and fairly tried, they should then receive the appropriate sentence to their crimes, which could very well involve deportation. It's trivial, but according to the article the individuals in question were not tried and convicted for any crimes. The current scenario is simply a violation of freedom of expression.
Poor Musk was robbed, he was promised that if he paid generously, the election result would be guaranteed. In the end he was cheated, it's unfair.
Cry, Cry, crocodile tears. 😭
I don't even like the phrase "from the river to the sea..." because it implies denying the two-state solution, but even people I disagree with should be free to profess their political views without fear.
