With ideias like that you sure ain’t that different from those white colonialist.

China is already an autocracy, which always brings greater stability (the regime cannot drastically change with the result of the next elections), but it also increases the chances of abuse of power. For some it makes little difference, for others it doesn’t. For the undecided, the one who offers more in return will win.

Europe needs to create new industries and develop existing ones, while distancing itself from the world’s major powers. But we won’t be able to manufacture here at affordable prices, so we could look for alternatives like the countries of North Africa, for example. I think China simply won’t be as interested in developing a relationship in this way, since they already produce a lot of goods by themselves. In short, we need to be as generous as possible with our new allies.

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees in this world. We do not even have the guarantee here in the EU that we will preserve our democratic systems, that we will not succumb to the far-right, to the neo-Nazis. In Germany alone, in recent polls, the AfD has grown and is now ahead in voting intentions, and the new Coalition government has not even taken office yet. Even seeing all the nonsense and chaos that the Trump administration has sown in America in just a few months, this has not discouraged German voters from a party of the same political line supported and financed by the same group of people. We cannot guarantee that we will not install far-right governments in our potential new allies, we cannot guarantee that they will not be destabilised, exploited or even worse. We cannot even guarantee that we will not do the same to ourselves.

Preventing this is an eternal battle that requires a certain leap of faith from everyone. This idea, for our own good, must become a fundamental part of our culture! We must unite the Democratic Forces of our countries and theirs in an eternal struggle against tyranny. We just cannot fall into the error of thinking that there are guarantees, this is a false sense of security that allows these far-right movements to grow. You may have even won great battles, but the war always continues. We can at least try to support their development and foster prosperity in good faith, not let them fall behind. Struggle, struggle, struggle ad aeternum!

I’m not superstitious, but I’m starting to think that the 30s are cursed, the closer we get to them the worse Europe gets.

The world is much bigger than just China or the United States. Perhaps Brazil and South America in general are the best candidates for better partners. Africa too, if it develops.

The countries of the European Union need to integrate more and form new alliances outside the two giants.

Just imagine: in a Europe with a single fiscal policy and a shared debt, where the euro is the dominant global currency, you could invest in Portugal or Finland in the same simple way. We would design in Europe, produce in North Africa (these countries would stabilize, develop and there would be no illegal immigrants sailing dangerously through here; later, when they develop sufficiently economically and culturally, we could even open the doors to free movement; Mare Nostrum!) and sell in South America and elsewhere. We should be the ones dictating to China and the United States the conditions for better economic cooperation, not the other way around. We should be the Global Power!

Don’t talk nonsense. Trump will destroy America and take Europe down the same path if he gets the chance.

The breakdown of trust in the Atlantic alliance alone is one of the worst things that could have happened to both sides and this is just the beginning. They’re going to fuck themselves and they’re going to fuck us in the process.

Bold of you to assume that Trump and Company won’t put the average American to work for almost nothing. The planned economic recession is to convince the people to do so.

The new generation of American children will not spend most of their time studying in school, but rather working in factories for a handful of peanuts. That’s Trump’s America.

This guy is pathetic. After making Nazi salutes, after supporting anti-EU parties, after excusing Hitler and Stalin by saying that the genocides caused by both were exclusively the fault of their public servants, after orchestrating the illegitimate usurpation of power by the DOGE, after cutting the American public sector, after working against workers rights, after working against education, after working against the democratic institutions, after saying and doing many other stupid and destructive things, Elon felt a little, perhaps for the first time in his life, a little of the consequences of his actions. Now he appears all cute and soft-spoken, trying to improve his tarnished image, trying to raise the value of his stocks. Pathetic, it’s even pitiful.

It’s not worth it Elon, your image is already too much damaged. If you were truly efficient and pragmatic as you want to pretend to be and not a crybaby, you would shut up and work to get a car that can compete with the prices and quality of the competition, but you prefer to play at being a tyrant and then go and cry to the media when people react badly to you.

You can’t even convince people that you’re a genius anymore after that controversy about pretending to be the best PoE2 player in the world. What kind of genius would pretend to be the best player in the world in a certain game by paying others for months to play for him, only to then accidentally expose his lie by live streaming a game he clearly doesn’t know how to play? Tragically pathetic.

It’s sad and against our supposed values. Who proposed this this time? Was it the same MEP?

We should have democratic mechanisms to vote these politicians out of office when they start messing up.

People should enjoy the last years of democracy and freedom of movement in Europe, because all of that is about to end soon, even more so now with hostile allies like the United States actively financing the fragmentation of the EU.

That’s life, it may be a consolation to think that at least we had the opportunity to live for a while in a particularly prosperous, free and peaceful historical anomaly. The next generations probably won’t have that luck.

I know many farmers, some with large companies, and I can say that most of these associations are infiltrated by the far-right and do not necessarily represent the opinion of the majority of farmers.

I even know of one that lied to its own farmers that it was supposed to represent, saying it was not affiliated with any political party and later it was discovered that it was linked to one of those far-right parties.
