1. You've assumed that person is a westerner, which I think is unbelievably arrogant
2. You're suggesting that person shouldn't comment at all just because of a mistake they made

To me it seems the arrogant one here is you

You’re making a lot of assumptions based of one mistake, but you don’t have to insult me.

You're a member of the wrong instance if you don't like assumptions and insults.

I think Wikipedia's description is good: "Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof."

Also:

• Puma (German)
• Lacoste (French)
• H&M (Swedish)
• Primark (Irish)
• Ellesse (Italian, owned by the British)

Also there's Fred Perry and Fila which are both Asian-owned (by Japan and South Korea respectively), but they're at least nominally European brands.

Some European brands are American-owned though, like Umbro and Reebok.

The phrase about freedom and convenience in the OP image reminds me of what France's foreign minister recently said about Europe's relationship with the USA:

We are faced with a choice that is imposed on us, between effort and freedom, or comfort and servitude

I assume the 27% are mostly fans of Marine Le Pen and they quite like Donald Trump.

Meta is bad although I would argue that X and Tesla are worse.

If you really want to represent Europe, you could wear Lidl clothes:

Or just buy Adidas stuff I guess, whatever you prefer.

Ah okay. Maybe I will just stick with a password + 2FA for now though. I'm sure I will eventually learn more about passkeys when I make the effort to read more about them.

I see, thanks. It mentions biometrics on that page. Maybe if my next laptop has a fingerprint reader then I should look into passkeys more.

Interesting thanks. I will probably just stick with passwords + 2FA for the moment because I'm lazy. It would be cool to have something like a hardware key though.

I have no idea what a passkey is and I will probably only learn what it is when they become mandatory

I will just use passwords + 2FA for the moment

Fair point. Maybe I just think the pain of being shot would be less unpleasant than the pain of a botched injection or electrocution.

Every single representative of Russia including Putin gives long ass speeches about why this is happening

The same government that has lied about so many things that I have lost count

Also the US is hardcore plotting and funding terrorism against Russia

Evidence? Do you think the US plotted and funded the Crocus City Hall attack for instance?

Would you have preferred to see the West provide nothing to Ukraine and instead just watch Ukraine get taken over by Russia? Perhaps that would have resulted in fewer deaths, but who knows. Russian forces probably would have still killed a lot of Ukrainians, and they would have subjugated Ukrainians, and probably they would have still committed rape and other acts.

Ukraine’s not a member of NATO

Indeed. That's why I said maybe Ukraine should have been allowed to join NATO years ago. That might have prevented this invasion.

i never disputed who the primary aggressor was in this war

So you think Russia invaded, but then the West used this as an opportunity to harm Russia. Maybe the West wasn't interested in harming Russia for the sake of harming Russia. Maybe the West just wanted Russia to stop its invasion of Ukraine.

Fair enough. I will try to read more stuff about encryption.

I listened to more of their stuff on YouTube, it's pretty cool, I can respect the guy's anger and pissed off attitude.

Apparently France may use its nukes to protect Europe, according to The Telegraph (whether they're right, I don't know). Maybe Europe together should develop a joint nuclear weapons program. Then British nukes wouldn't have to depend on US missiles anymore.

Boris made some pro-EU statements in the past, but then he realised that being anti-EU would give him an opportunity to become prime minister. So he took that opportunity to put his career ambitions ahead of the country's interests.
