I'm so happy to be in the EU. Good luck over there! BTW we had like 100 collapses and 1000 wars before we got to where we are...

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 54 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Don't get complacent. The EU countries are toying with the idea of collapsing with us. AfD doesn't seem to be shrinking, and there will be a lot of money and propaganda dumped that way soon.

I hope you're better at resisting it than we were, but seeing as how we're all still on vulnerable social media...

Once the oligarchs have picked the bones over here, the EU is next. They’re like a virus that must keep consuming.

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago

True, idiocy is universal. You can see the roaches crawling out of the rocks already.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, nothing is written in stone for sure, and I hope our american friends will figure it out, and that we'll motor through all this bullshit.

How can you say this with a straight face? All fascist parties have record numbers, workers rights are being targeted across the board, digital privacy is a thing of the past. We're like barely half a step behind. The oligarchy doesn't care about states or continents. The EU is on the menu just as much as the US

For sure. The nations are just tools. People don't understand there's another level. Most aren't taught or think enough to understand that the real "game" is above nations, the nations are basically businesses and tools for those willing to play the real "game". And the citizens of those nations are just basically free-range workers/cattle.

The further you zoom out from your microcosm of life the more fucked up it is. You can see the nation herding people. 90s individualism wasn't freedom, it was marketed lifestyles to further categorize groups of people like a dog herding sheep into the next free-range pen. People think psychology isn't a tool used to control.... They think the choices that are given to them are freedom. What do people think is happening with the data mined??? People are so far removed from the idea of playing the "game" that they don't understand they are now the pawns being played in the "game".

Yes, and us unionists are fighting back. What, do you think we're all just sitting on our arses with our heads up rectums?

If a fascist takes over the Danish government I'm going to riot, and I know which friends to call on to make it happen too.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You can PM me too if it comes to that.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

I'm in France so I'm already used to it and ready to restart.

You know most Americans are descendants of that historical lesson too right?

[–] Paper_Phrog@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Well, most don't seem to remember it at all. It's why you are in this situation.

Netflix and chill? Let's watch the game. Want to go shopping, I need more useless nicknaks to distract me because that's the easiest low hanging fruit way to give reason for my life. I'm not living for me, I'm just a cog in this game that keeps them able to play with my life for their profits.

Correction : they.

Yeah I know, seems they missed what we learned the last century (or so I hope, that we learned something).
