I don't understand why the EU has started methodically undoing all the progress they've made towards championing their citizens' rights. At some point and for a long time, it felt like the EU was one of the last sane governing bodies in the world. Now there's chat control attempts, attempts to pass mass surveillance regulations and giving in to completely insane US demands? Where are we heading? What's next?

We're headed next to eliminating all billionnaires and their allies.

Fuck this shit.

It's the right wing extremist fractions and Putin bootlickers. Von der Leyden is one of the few old school EU politicians left
