Formal education is just a means to an end, end being typically independence/jobs, not actually intellect (no matter how much it’s marketed as such).

We’re talking anarchism, not communism

Since when is Iran gay lol it’s phobic af

Yes

Still, trying to make Iran the enemy is problematic.

And based on what evidence have you determined that the EU is genuinely reconstructing things behind the scenes and will actually stop being a sycophant for the US?

There’s the credit card and tech shift but I’m skeptical of the EU. There’s little historical precedent that doesn’t suggest they’d support the US (despite some badmouthing), and the German leader/head of the EU shuts down palestinian protests in the name of “freedom of speech”. Zionism.

Iran? Gay?

The majority of Israel’s citizens think the apartheid is okay.

It’s something they’re indoctrinated into believing.

Still being downvoted without any constructive criticisms, I see.

It’s probably the china thing, people suck up to china for no reason too.

So remind me why the EU hasn’t started sanctioning and directly opposing the US in its wars and everything lately? Anything that actually hits them, beyond just “we strongly condemn”?

i.e. if a country trades with Cuba, the US hits them with sanctions as a punishment (or threatens to)?

Just seeing if I got that right.

Them being electric/having digital components lets companies monitor your vehicles the same way they do monitor your online presence.

You can look up the killswitch thing, it’s planned in Europe iirc. It’s being sold as being introduced so as to “reduce drunk driving”, but obviously once that’s in place it can be used to manufacture car accidents and the sort.

Any time someone says these “technological advancements” are anything but innocuous, they get rammed as “fear-mongering”.

Gonna get blasted for this, given the overall sentiment here in the comments towards EVs, but EVs are going to be used to monitor people everywhere they go and have killswitches, and other shit I’d not wanna deal with.

Why don’t they rely on mexico and LATAM instead of the US?

Regardless, if they need the US to agree with them to exist, they really would be a failed state, because the US—home of capitalist imperialism— would never.
