yep, Europe really ought to not cave into the demand to buy up more LNG and instead focus on developing their own renewable energy base instead
wtf - the EU imported 15-20b on LNG in 2024 - how does it make any sense to increase LNG imports by 15-20 times while claiming to decarbonize? Or is the plan to just weave the 350B debt and then be left holding the proverbial LNG bag?
And this comes after: "Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič is hoping his U.S. counterparts can settle on a “term sheet” that sets out a framework for talks — when the next round of tariffs takes effect."
These could entail lowering duties, investing in American defense firms, boosting purchases of U.S. liquefied natural gas, or softening some regulations. 1
Soo the EU is going for the classic get fucked in the ass, suck the cum out while you’re belching, burp, belch, and go back for a second helping...
inb4 China fills the consumer gap the US leaves behind, the US both collapses the value of the dollar, fails to revive US manufacturing and the dollar gets replaced by crypto (of which China has massive reserves) as the world’s reserve currency...
You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance? The IHRA that defended Norway's commemoration of the nazi Knut Hamsun? The same IHRA that defines antisemitism as "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."?
Though I'm guessing you mean specifically "Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."
Which I thought I made pretty clear with the parallel between apartheid South Africa and apartheid Israel - just as I believe the colonial state of the US has no right to exist - so I believe that the colonial state of Israel has no right to exist either.
So when I hear people chant "From the river to the sea" - I (and solidarity scholars) don't see that as a call to violence against Jewish people - but as a reclamation of a slogan originally conjured up by Zionists for the equal rights of everyone in the Levant independent of their religion.
Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you "respect the law"
Thanks for telling on yourself.

mfs in this thread arguing misgendering doesn't matter while assuming everyone on the internet is a man
From said article: "Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly is an unsettling mixture of childish humor and fetishistic sexual innuendo, seemingly only meant to appeal to those who truly love every experience relating to farting."
As ridiculous as the leaked group chat shit is - their assessment of the EU benefiting from US navy power was on point.
Currently EU officials can decry the Trump admin as the literal devil, but they're awfully quiet when the same cabinet uses US might to attack Yemen to restore "freedom of navigation" through the Red Sea. Their politics of death and destruction are only an issue when their enemies don't align..
This^ - as @ToxicWaste@lemm.ee noted - women and men are good at different things so I don't see why we can't require mixed gender teams with equal representation for pretty much all sports.
And if somebody cries "fOrCeD dIvErSiTy!!" then you never really cared about women's participation in sports anyways.
I mean it sure would do more than pretending it's not happening - but I get it - most Germans preferred to pretend they couldn't smell the smoke either.
And again you don't even have to risk your own safety by protesting - you could at least join a local community organizing group to help people most affected.
I'm sure you may think one person can't make a difference but I can guarantee that even a single person more that's helping out with mutual aid would be met with appreciation anywhere. Still good on you for financing charities - that is usually the very first step.
Also this isn't a sprint - it's a marathon - expecting protests now to have any immediate impact is just setting you up for failure - these fights have been fought for generations - so lock in and get ready to resist not just these 4 but the next 40 years.
And sorry if this feels overwhelming and you don't think you have the capacity - but even doing 1 day of volunteering a month is a good starting point.
Huh, US industrialists were literally given carte blanche to support Hitler's rise to power and it's happening again with Muskrat bolstering far right parties across Europe.
Hell, Hitler admired the US for the way they "dealt" with the indigenous population of Turtle Island
Why try to do anything so this doesn't happen when it's easier to dig your head in the sand 🙃
Doesn't providing nuance counter the homogeneity? Also what's the alternative? Algorithmically promotes content? But those create even more of an echo chamber as you only see what the algo thinks you'll personally engage with.
I guess meeting in person might be better - but even then your neighborhood is probably rather classist so idk how much you'd end up not in an echo chamber either :/
How come it's always nazi apologists with these takes..
Ok big brain - who's gonna provide those social benefits in a country with an aging population and no immigration?
This sounds like the whole Brexit thing where folk voted to keep immigrants out and were then shocked when social services went even more to shit when they realized half of NHS staff were foreigners...
If you were arguing to solve global inequality and climate change by dismantling western imperialism and by radically reducing their material consumption so that people didn't need to emigrate - then we would agree - but your current stance just sounds like social security for me but not for thee..
