Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.
This is called “neoliberal euro syndrome”.
Exfuckingscuse me motherfucker!?
Antifa is considered a terrorist organisation in fascist America. What the fuck is a European country bending over to them for!? This is a violation of our sovereign rights! Has the Netherlands forgotten why we’re trying to get as many of our services to be euro-centric, or open source?
Jeezis christ!
The Netherlands is a US vassal state not a country.
Stop. Capitulating. To. Trump.
It’s hard enough fixing this shit without the rest of the world empowering the far right. (And stop yelling at us to fix our mess when your governments keep throwing shit on the pile. This is your fault too.)
I sort of get why governments and their leaders keep playing nice with trump - they want to keep trade flowing smoothly.
But isn’t it a worse long run strategy to do this no matter what? Seems to me that they are exposing weakness which could hurt them in future negotiations. Not that any future, sane-minded world leader would ever implement tariffs again.
If i read the source from NRC correctly (I’m dutch), the disks were already wiped. I think this is a matter of not letting a small incident irritate the orange monkey too much. Let’s keep that when it actually matters. Not getting some wiped disk with nothing on it.
Okay, that’s more like hilarious malicious compliance, then. I pronounce the Dutch still cool
what 1984 bullshit is this that Anti-fascism = terrorism?
The current US administration must be removed from power. And we must be better versions of ourselves.
as a non american whose country has been relentlessly fucked by america, i am happy to see america rapidly declining
yes, me too, seeing the US flailing about as it crash and burn is among the sweetest schadenfreudes I’ve tasted my entire life
I thought they were talking about a restaurant server at first… 🤦🏻♂️
Why so many European countries are run by cowards with permanent knee pads on for the US is beyond me.
European countries are run by greedy fucks who love money and are generally fascist assholes.
As a European, I sadly agree.
We thought the USA were the good guys, it takes some time to adjust and elect new representatives.
Takes about 100x longer for our corrupt politicians to realise the most basic truths, too :(
What do you mean? We have the least corrupt governments in the world here in Europe. Sure, shit happens from time to time, but just look at Orbàn!
I hate this “both sides are bad”, “everything is bad”, it’s just playing to the Kremlin playbook.
Ha ha so funny, a let me Google that for you. You really outdid yourself this time.
Did you assume everyone is American?
Because if you think a little bit (or a lot depending how fast you are) you can figure out on which continent I live!!
I know it can be hard so here is a hint: it is not America!
you missed the plot. “least corrupt” (debatable) does not equal “not corrupt”.
eVeRyOnE is cOrRuPt
No they aren’t, bonehead.
Sovereign tech is when the US asks nicely for a server seizure in your country and you hand it over.
This is probably the smaller peanuts tho. Italy debankig A/I on behalf of the US is the serious shit. They could have moved their tech operations from Amsterdam if they still had access to their money. That’s the much more serious sovereignty gap.
Italy is the cum cleaner, literally.
Personally i am thinking to go full anti-tech, unplug myself from this dark future that is being cooked while everyone is watching and no one is fighting back.
Fuck this.
far left is pretty much nice person centre
I surprisingly agree, just keep in mind that sometimes those nice people, even if they don’t approve of Stalin, would honestly say that you as you exist are of a wrong class background and behavior and should be reeducated or put down, if you’d ask them in a right way. No fault of yours but still needed if a revolution, ya knaw, takes place.
And since some of my ancestors have been subjected to institutions doing that, more of “put down” than of “reeducated”, while not even being contrarian to said ideology, I’d say I’ve had enough of their niceties before meeting them.
If they are ancom/ansyn and recognize intersections between that and ancap, then welcome.
And don’t give me that bullshit about Stalin and Lenin not being far left, because, well, all the left in the world were their followers until roughly late 70s, when that started coming out of fashion, left propagandists living in mansions in western countries while receiving orders from USSR started causing suspicion as members of intelligentsia, so to say, and Khmer Rouge casted a bit of a shadow, and that Big Leap in China couldn’t be well explained from utopian point of view, and USSR’s economy and culture started visibly stagnating compared to the picture of the 60s (which surprisingly coincided with a moment of rebirth when many people still believed in communist ideas, or believed that those could be cleaned of Stalin and repressions), while those leftists generally didn’t care how Soviet people really lived before 60s, which is funny, because for USSR itself 70s were its pinnacle of development, when some of the utopian promises really materialized en masse for a huge portion of the population and not just in propaganda for westerners. Unfortunately they didn’t know where to go further from that, and while the average citizen realized they’ve become almost like a normal person, the average nomenclature family member realized they want more than what they had, and institutional strength is clearly incompatible with that.
you’re confusing actual leftists with MLs
MLs are leftists, don’t even try to pretend they are not.
“You’re confusing actual leftists with the most successful tradition of Leftist political thought, which is highly diverse and continues to guide multiple States and movements today”
This is how these people sound. Obviously there are lots of things we can and should criticise about various ML projects. But this knee-jerk dismissal of an entire terrain of leftist thought, along with a general fetishization of failure, and refusal to engage with the complexities of governance, is intellectually lazy and unbecoming of “real leftists”.
Agree to disagree
How very compelling
I mean, I believe that you believe that
What do you think they are? Try to use more than 5 words in your explanation.
Hopefully it was encrypted.
It was, but having offline access makes breaking it a matter of time, especially if you’re the CIA/NSA/DISA/whatever
