No. The most dangerous Europe for China, Russia or the US is an independent and unified Europe. A Europe controlled by the US is weak and divided, much easier to distract and kept in check.
Centrist parties are not progressive enough idealistically, they are mostly opportunistic. Instead of making politics to bring society forward and make people’s lives better, tgey mostly care about being and staying in power. Somehow, many centrist parties concluded that early successes of the rising far right parties beyond the usual few percent meant that voters bought far right programs and did not (also) want to make a statement against who’s in power, so centrist parties started to adopt far right policies, believing that would get voters back to voting them. Instead, they normalized far right positions, helping push the overton window further to the right, continuing to worsen the situation for most people instead of improving and making extremist parties not looking that extreme anymore but a valid choice in elections, resulting in further gains for far right parties.
I mean, they wanted to leave the EU. Such things then happen.
Unfortunately it seems to be that way:
Yeah, you can archive the article with archive.org (.org is still safe, it has nothing to do with .is, .today etc).
Fuck Politico, Axel Springer and Döpfner. Don’t share, don’t click.
There is some Cloudflare-check in front of the actual website. May you be a bot?
Did you drop a /s?
Fuck Politico, Axel Springer and Döpfner. Don’t share, don’t click.
Just to clarify, by “that’s the difference” you don’t mean you’d travel to Qatar or Russia, but that the situation is new in the US but not new in Russia and Qatar, right?
Well, that’s weird.
Yeah, you’re right, Russia isn’t assisting a genocide right now. I mean, they’re conducting their own, so that doesn’t count I guess (and that shit started in 2014). Qatar had the World Cup stadiums built with literal slave labour, and we really don’t want to talk about the general situation of human rights in these countries (it’s bad, really bad), but doesn’t matter because they’re not the US I guess.
Politico is owned by Axel Springer SE, a publisher that also owns Bild, Welt (both german) and Fakt (polish) and that works for years to push the Overton Window to the right, boosts far right populist narratives, etc. Politico itself has been caught using native ads, and Döpfner is the current CEO and co-owner of Axel Springer, an overall neoliberal douchebag and Trump fan.
Fuck Politico, fuck Axel Springer, fuck Döpfner. Don’t share their BS, don’t give them clicks.
that is about 3% of what they spend every year on IT‑system maintenance," Cipollone said.
Just to put the number into context.
Yeah, I exaggerated a bit for the joke.
