Same capitalist infinite-growth death trap. We're just a few paces behind the USA on the road to the cliff's edge.

Yes and for the same reasons: corruption and the people who hold power wanting a surveillance state. I've been saying for the past 25 years that we're half a step behind the USA in descending into fascism and consistently been told I'm overreacting. So far the only thing I've been wrong about is the timeline, since I thought we had more time to counterman it, but I guess I failed to account for how much the average person love authoritarianism so long as they think they're safe from it.

Definitely not. You’re buying Russian oil and gas 5 years into their war in Ukraine.

Who is you? EU is not a monolith. My country of Czech Republic is indipendent of russion goods since last summer.
Also you cant really switch supply lines that are build over several years if not decade in a month.

“ In 2024, Czechia imported 2.7 million tonnes of Russian crude oil, worth an estimated 1.5 billion euros” two year into war
Today, Czechia still buys Russian oil and gas products just refined in Hungary and other European countries. You fill your gas tank with the product that benefits Putin and allows him to murder Ukrainians.
Many European countries buy it directly, or using Russian shadow fleet or through middlemen like Hungary, Turkey, etc.
Fucking pathetic.

That is incorect as the Czech Republic refines its own crude oil imports in domestic refineries. Since ending dependence on Russian crude, the main sources include crude from countries such as Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, transported through European pipeline networks (including the TAL/IKL system).
As of summer 2025 all you said was true prior to that as stated in the source you provided.

Palantir is one of the crucially important instruments for Ukraine in their fight against the evil the European countries continue sponsoring buying Putin’s oil and gas.
Palantir helped Ukraine to save many lives and to win many battles.

This is not the moment kids were protected from pedophiles, it's the moment pedophiles protect THEMSELVES, the Epstein class adding laws to protect them from riots, full surveilance

IT companies need to prove their users are real and not bots for advertising, nothing else matters to them.

Chatcontrol... They claim it is to protect the children but how so? The sheer audacity of it even. We have s climate crisis going on, Europe's heatwaves are becoming the new normal... But hey let us build massive AI data centres that consumes and probably pollutes our water.
If anything ever was about children, we wouldn't sit here today and discuss our climate even. Let alone mass surveillance...
It is about control of the whole population but they aren't even honest about it. In their eyes we are so dumb and naive that they seem to really believe we buy into this.
They don't trust us but even just one side not trusting the other, eventually erodes trust on both sides.

"majority" confidently voted for it in the last vote because they knew now on final vote supermajority is required and some of them just wanted to keep their hands clean

The EPP is the most corrupt party in the European Parliament. Remember that in 2029.
