If you ever wondered how German car makers drove themselves into the ditch and how could German industrialists and the German governing parties they own ever be so arrogant to think China would never, ever meet them and then overtake them up the value chain, here's another titan of German industry doing his best to enlighten us:

Best thing about the ARTE platform is this:
https://www.arte.tv/pl/videos/RC-026488/czy-to-prawda-ze/
They just added Romanian as a 7th language, which is great. But all of this costs money and since we're in the middle of negotiating the EU budget, I really wish @npub1tyk…2uyu et al weren't such bougie dweebs [lovingly] who can't seem to articulate for normies the link between the 🇪🇺 budget and 🇪🇺 NOT having a pan-European broadcaster in all 24 languages (there's also #geoblocking, but one step at a time...)

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@littlealex/115951649270515450
Could never be me. I'm on the record for wanting Ukraine in the EU so I can sip the delicious tears of our pampered latifundia. I also want Budanov to run our first EU intelligence agency and the people who keep Ukrainian trains on time under daily bombardments to run the 🇪🇺 rail network. And now that you mention it, I want an Antonov and Dassault collab to build a BIGGER, 🇪🇺 Mriya with blackjack and nukes.

The Syrian government doesn't have any functioning aviation of its own and maintains good relations with the French government (haven't kept up with the anglo side of things). Jol... Al-Sharaa is the last guy in the region who'd mind anyone helping him liquefy an ISIS arms dump in the desert--they spent the better part of the last decade trying to kill him. Intel probably came from the Syrian government, that's an asset it does have.

Der EuGH wird das nicht durchgehen lassen, es ist absurd, dass sie es überhaupt versuchen. Bis das Gericht darüber entscheidet, werden Politiker wie der spanische Innenminister oder sein dänischer Kollege Hummelgaard höchstwahrscheinlich bereits in Rente sein oder durch die Drehtür der Wirtschaft gewechselt sein, daher ist es ihnen wohl egal. Die meisten Europäer haben keine Ahnung dass nationale Minister zu EU-Senatoren werden, die EU-Recht machen. #WTFistheCouncil

OK, that answers my question, "working men" are the natives who have a right to vote and bother to do so (not that migrants who get the right to vote don't sometimes prioritise hating their women and vote conservative later, but that's a different stage). As someone who grew up in severe poverty at first I don't feel beholden by any scruples in despising family members who are fash because they were/are poor. They're bad people above all. But I understand it's not easy for outsiders.

2025-09-05 16:39:50 UTC

- reply

Yes, which is also supported by what scientists studying recent Polish and German elections find, that wealth is not the strongest correlation in the fash vote. Women work too. A lot of immigrants work AND are poor AND are not fascists. They either don't vote at all or can't or vote non-extremists. Idk who the "working man" is. Here's German data:
https://fediscience.org/@RRResRobot/114206914304790495
The strongest correlation with the far right vote in Poland was NOT wealth and not even education but religion.

I don't know what the definition of "working men" is, but at least for European countries for which I've read recent research, that's not really what they have in common, unless you expand it to include East German dentists, car dealership owners, French château-dwelling vintners and Polish small business owners or large business owners. What they DO have in common: they all hate women. That's not insoluble, but needs to not be covered up by #poorwashing

Relief that she's recovering, but... are they charging her for not having her EHIC card on her? My Polish friend needed stitches in Spain and they told her to just get it sorted as soon as she gets home, it takes a while for the paperwork to get processed. She renewed it, sent them a scanned copy and wasn't charged anything.

The author also quotes Denmark's leadership among the #AtlanticistsMuggedByReality which I think is a smart approach. If opt-out qween Denmark, a country that wiretapped its EU allies at the request of the US government (but it was a Nice American that patted them on the head for it!) can turn around and accept further EU integration and officially ditch the frugals can do it, anybody can.

Good. There's a line in this article in The Irish Times that really struck me about the highly convenient parochialism with benefits practiced by the opponents of 🇪🇺 autonomy like Ireland. "The EU status quo we prospered in for 50 years is over. That is half the life of our state, and most of the lifetime of our current population." Really brings home to someone who never trusted the US what a big turnaround it is for those who did.

Until they touch the stove, your governments will feel no incentive to make the much needed investments needed at 🇪🇺 level for 🇪🇺 autonomy. The hot plate is much more likely to come from US withdrawal (de facto if not de jure) as a sizeable chunk of voters in frugal/Atlanticist 🇪🇺 states are convinced I'll spend THEIR money

for DECADES. The time to start undoing it was 2012, or 2017 at the latest, but they treated 🇪🇺 strategic autonomy as a dastardly French plot to sell them planes and continued to cling to the Washington consensus like Marshallese cargo cultists praying at WWII American plane wreckages. Where's the outcry from German and Dutch voters to complete the EU's capital markets union, for the European Security Council, for the Draghi Plan, ditch fossil fuels, etc?

I'm the harshest critic of 🇪🇺 member statelets on Mastodon and I still think that's simplistic claptrap. I'm represented in the EUCO by a gvt. that's just cancelled F35 purchases to buy European instead. It's not hard as we're nicely tucked behind the only ITAR-free/independent military on the continent with not much exposure to direct threats and exports to the US are negligible. Atlanticists like Germany and the Netherlands trapped us all in dependency

Good.
It's a bit weird for your very existence to be at the centre of our first homegrown 🇪🇺 culture war, but it's not often that Europeans pay attention to their neighbours with whom they share a Union instead of rubbernecking at YallQaeda. These are the easiest points to score for any progressive politician in Europe, lovely to see us united in solidarity with Hungarians and hatred for our Union's most notorious traitor.

Myanmar and to some extent Sudan or Ethiopia, yes. But the EU doesn't have the luxury of an ocean between it and the lands the US and UK couped for access to fossil fuels back in the day. If it wants to gain that degree of nonchalance towards conflict on its doorstep, it needs to spend A LOT of money on decarbonising for autonomy from all fossil kleptos (sorry, Norway) and to become militarily independent from the US. Do eurobonds, change 🇪🇺 Treaties, etc.

No frustration, on the contrary, I'm amused with the kabuki. 😀 Curious to see if we'll reach the Rutte-in-April stage this time. I was quite new to eurodrama at the time, but more experienced observers convinced me it's all playing to the gallery BS and once Germany is onboard (to follow in May), behind the scenes NL would not pose a problem. I'm mostly entertaining myself with my #FrugalsInTrenches tracker, EU watchers tend to have goldfish memory.

In both Councils, the legislative and the executive one. We do have a European Prosecutor set up without several members (some joined later, under more pro-inyegration governments) so for things to move fast enough we probably can't wait for treaty change. We should still do it though, and we have the blueprint.

This Tusk lad sounds really concerned about rule of law in the EU and the consequences of having a Kremlin stooge with a veto in the Council(s). Such a shame he's a mere activist and has had no power to call for an Article 7 vote to freeze Orbán's blackmail veto or at the very least take away his propaganda Council "presidency" last year. Sounds like he should run for office, maybe he can get into the EUCO.

Nothing. Some of them have already repeatedly said No to all proposals to adequately finance the EU and the increased investments needed not just to arm ourselves and Ukraine but also to help reconstruction and integration (our budgets are looong-term, next one is 2028-2034).

Sí, un partido de extrema derecha habitual en la política austriaca desde los años ochenta, y que ya ha formado parte de varios gobiernos nacionales y regionales desde 2000. Según el único economista austriaco en el que confío, la buena noticia es que han quedado primeros en vez de segundos, porque los conservadores no podrían soportar ser el socio de coalición "junior" (serían el socio principal y se quedarían con la Cancillería en otra GroKo con el partido de izquierdas).
