It will not be difficult to dismantle the EU, one need only observe the trends among the electorate in Germany and France.

The UK should never rejoin until it abolishes its first past the post system.

As I state right at the beginning: it depends on the context. Most of the time that’s not the case, sure, but it’s still gross.

Pee against a tree is unhygienic and it can damage the tree’s bark, just ask my Japanese maples. Some people can be such pigs, they come across a beautiful, unfenced garden by the roadside, and some incontinent types immediately think about going there to take a leak.

I didn’t say that. But depending on the context, it could at least be considered exhibitionism and therefore sexual harassment.

LoL

I wish you were right, but no.

You shouldn’t be doing it, though. It’s unhygienic. Pee in the toilet, please.

Yes, it helps.

Read again Murican.

Read again until the very end. I didn’t say that. 🙄

The main problem lies with the politicians people voted for in each country’s elections (who are then reflected in the European Council and the Commission), not the EU as a concept or even as a set of institutions, or at least, not entirely so in the latter case.

Ok, but democracy is still failing here if laws are passed in the EU in such a scummy way.

Germany is cooked. 💀

The CDU adopts dumb policies like that, and then the AfD comes out with cruel crap like this.

A shame that most people don’t seem to grasp something so simple as that.

The primary purpose of AI systems is mass surveillance.

In a Christian state, kissing in public is also prohibited. People in the West have forgotten this because, here, countries are secular, even though Christianity is the dominant religion.

For example, in my country, Portugal, before the Carnation Revolution of April 25, 1974, which introduced secularism, kissing in public or even holding hands was prohibited. The penalty could range from a simple fine to imprisonment. There was even a crime of “vadiagem” if you were caught in public, say, in a park, doing nothing during standard weekly working hours.

The previous regime in Portugal, the Salazarist Estado Novo, is generally described by historians as a quasi-fascist, Christian-Nationalist regime.

Even North Korea doesn’t need to be that extreme, and they are currently the most mono-ethnic country on Earth. These guys just want to be cruel, the rest is just an excuse.

And the Commission and national governments want to do away with the right to privacy under the pretext of protecting children, while the real reason is that American tech companies have been pressuring and bribing Ylva Johansson and many others to implement this agenda in the EU, even SVT reported on this three years ago. Stop ChatControl!

P S.: “We want to spy on you 24/7 all your data, but uh, the rules don’t apply to us… Okay thank you! 🤗”

True, but they weren’t the only ones.

P.S.: I just want to make it clear that I have nothing against the digital euro. I think it will be positive, but let’s see how it is actually implemented in practice. At the same time, what the article’s title claims is just absurd and I see no willingness on the part of the largest parliamentary group to do so.

Good luck, with an EPP majority, a Trumpism-proof EU will never become a reality.

Don’t forget which group enabled Orbán and still supports Vučić.

Because CDU will continue trying to win over voters further to the right, and to that end, they will tend to keep adopting positions further to the right until they become increasingly indistinguishable from the far-right.
