To note: the "peak of our civilization" he's talking about was 1999. Which is arguably kind of on point.
Oh yea? And where are the mainstream media articles with politicians being embarrassed about dealing with US tech companies? Where are the "EU voices alarm" pieces?
Whataboutism is one thing, willful ignorance of media bias is another.
But the EU is not actually contending anything.
This means: The EU is not actually challenging the US or China for global dominance. There is no actual European vision for the world. EU states are happy to find a way to play along with whatever the US want to do.
Anyway, cheers.
This means: I'm done talking about this have a nice day.
But the EU is not actually contending anything.
Anyway, cheers.
Like I said, not a lost cause. But I'm pessimistic based on what I'm seeing European politicians actually doing.
That said, I am not sure I buy the "beat chance" rhetoric, that's too Fukuyama-ist for my taste. History didn't end.
The EU has to earn its reputation as a champion of human rights and international law back. So far I haven't seen any movement towards that. It's not a lost cause yet but I am not optimistic.
Lost third spaces, hanging out with other kids and helicopter parenting/stranger danger.
Cool, so be super responsible on their part instead. If they can't be trusted to save up themselves, do the saving up of all the money yourself, o wise conservative. And let's put all that money in a trust fund for them and just give them the dividends. Let's call those dividends a "Universal Basic Dividend".
That's just tankie campism upside down.
In my post I literally take the side of the Hague Group. International law, UN courts, the Rome Statute, the rules based international order.
You want to push the West to be better? Take that side.
Are we still talking about rural and periurban Ireland?
I don't appreciate using the environment as a cudgel to entrench the expendability of human lives in the altar of the fast car.

Bob Vylan gets flak for supposedly preaching hatred and wishing death to the IDF at Glastonbury, as if wishing for the destruction of a genocidal army is the same as advocating for violence against people, much less a People.
Well, in 1998, Bob Dylan sung these lyrics, addressed to the "masters of war" :
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
I will follow your casket by the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead
Hear it here, on 37:04: https://youtu.be/fHE6XBWM_yA?t=2224
In a sense, Bob Dylan was in fact more extreme than Bob Vylan, since he's talking about actual dying people as opposed to institutions.
In any case, Bob Vylan with their "Death to the IDF" slogan is in very good company.
That's the Soviet flag next to the ROC flag.
