Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.

This is called “neoliberal euro syndrome”.

what 1984 bullshit is this that Anti-fascism = terrorism?

[-] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 3 points 47 minutes ago

Dude, "antifa" has been labeled a terrorist organisation by the FBI, thanks to Orange Palpatine.

Exfuckingscuse me motherfucker!?

Antifa is considered a terrorist organisation in fascist America. What the fuck is a European country bending over to them for!? This is a violation of our sovereign rights! Has the Netherlands forgotten why we're trying to get as many of our services to be euro-centric, or open source?

Jeezis christ!

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

The Netherlands is a US vassal state not a country.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 25 points 3 hours ago

Stop. Capitulating. To. Trump.

It's hard enough fixing this shit without the rest of the world empowering the far right. (And stop yelling at us to fix our mess when your governments keep throwing shit on the pile. This is your fault too.)

[-] themaninblack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I sort of get why governments and their leaders keep playing nice with trump - they want to keep trade flowing smoothly.

But isn’t it a worse long run strategy to do this no matter what? Seems to me that they are exposing weakness which could hurt them in future negotiations. Not that any future, sane-minded world leader would ever implement tariffs again.

If i read the source from NRC correctly (I'm dutch), the disks were already wiped. I think this is a matter of not letting a small incident irritate the orange monkey too much. Let's keep that when it actually matters. Not getting some wiped disk with noting on it.

Cucked by fascism

I thought they were talking about a restaurant server at first... 🤦🏻‍♂️

The current US administration must be removed from power. And we must be better versions of ourselves.

[-] trojanbark@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago

as a non american whose country has been relentlessly fucked by america, i am happy to see america rapidly declining

[-] demonsword@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

yes, me too, seeing the US flailing about as it crash and burn is among the sweetest schadenfreudes I've tasted my entire life

[-] stumu415@lemmy.zip 38 points 19 hours ago

Look at ASML and Nexperia. The Dutch government bend over and take it all the time. That happens when politicians have no spine and follow the lead of that cunt Mark Rutte. The one who called Trump 'Daddy'.

What'd someone do, advocate for free healthcare?

[-] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

What’d someone do, advocate for free ~~healthcare~~ palestine?

Probably

[-] lmdnw@lemmy.world 95 points 1 day ago

Why so many European countries are run by cowards with permanent knee pads on for the US is beyond me.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 14 points 10 hours ago

run by ~~cowards~~ whores for money

Fixed that for you.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 14 hours ago

We thought the USA were the good guys, it takes some time to adjust and elect new representatives.

[-] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

It will take generations for the US to regain the trust and respect it once had.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Nah that's gone. It will take generation(s) to become a normal country we trust like a normal country. They really had it all; wealth, soft power, hard power, respect, trust, people saw up to them, wanted to be like them, and they just set it on fire, repeatedly, while dumping manure everywhere.

Amazing.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

If history is any indicator, it will take one and a half generations of relative stability and everyone that matters will have forgotten. Probably there will be lingering, mostly misplaced bigotry (especially if there is nothing in the way of reparations) but there's too much potential in the resources (markets, raw materials, laborers, tourism, etc) here to stay sidelined for long. Look at Germany, the UK, China, Japan, Italy, or Belgium. Colonialism, screwing allies, even outright genocide is papered over as soon as the populace blinks to keep things moving.

Or there's the Bad Ending where far-right movements control more of the world and we're a successful part of the new Axis powers.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Takes about 100x longer for our corrupt politicians to realise the most basic truths, too :(

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 hours ago

What do you mean? We have the least corrupt governments in the world here in Europe. Sure, shit happens from time to time, but just look at Orbàn!

I hate this "both sides are bad", "everything is bad", it's just playing to the Kremlin playbook.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

you missed the plot. "least corrupt" (debatable) does not equal "not corrupt".

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 7 hours ago

No they aren't, bonehead.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

European countries are run by greedy fucks who love money and are generally fascist assholes.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

As a European, I sadly agree.

Sovereign tech is when the US asks nicely for a server seizure in your country and you hand it over.

This is probably the smaller peanuts tho. Italy debankig A/I on behalf of the US is the serious shit. They could have moved their tech operations from Amsterdam if they still had access to their money. That's the much more serious sovereignty gap.
