Good
Fuck the US and their bullshit capitalism. Do not trust them. They are the enemy, which feels wild to say but we've long memories, and education, and we've seen this before.
I find it so stupid that countries would outsource important stuff to any other country. You never know what the future holds.
As an American, I approve of this statement.
This is so great to hear. It would be great if I could stop seeing the EU capitulate to Orange on the news. From the perspective of American citizens it is very annoying, and you will ingratiate yourselves to us by pushing back against him.
It's probably a tricky balancing act for EU leaders. On the one hand they want to quietly step away from the US, on the other they are well aware that one of his tantrums could start WWIII.
They're in that situation when you wind up talking to the violent lunatic at a party and you are quietly trying to remove yourself without flipping their switch.
We are probably already there but they just won't say... all quiet on the western front...
I thought you were talking about Orange the Telco, and I thought, "shit, what did orange do this time" lol!
I'm American and the US is my enemy too
Has anyone coined a term like "digital imperialism"? I think it's quite fitting.
Iannis Varoufakis (there's probably 2+ typos there) has coined something like digital feudalism.
I think it makes more sense when imperialism is between countries like in this case, but if you get rid of imperialism you still have feudalism between the tech companies and the users of their monopolistic products, on their terms.
Technofascism
