Also d) Make sure government find an obtuse way for the market to function without dodgy monopolies and such.
@ilumium 80% of the national laws coming from the EU, the ban on effective end-to-end encryption, endless subsidies in shitty projects, the Digital Markets Act that is encroaching on our digital life. The European Identity Wallet my country is pushing for some reason that only looks like even more control over the civilian (Lets ignore the proposal to print of money to subsidize people who cannot pay the CO2 tax levied by the EU because they are to poor). And this is not even touching on Lawful Interception and the great conspiracy theory of the EU army.
There are already cosmopolitan champagne socialists considering themselves as EU Citizens, although non of them can tell you the relevance of that song The Ode to Joy.
I think totalitarianism seems fitting. But its okay to disagree on that.
@ilumium @publiclewdness
The mega-rich should be taxed like anyone else. In addition to this a) stop subsidies of any kind b) invoke an anti-corruption unit so a government can function as it should without the influence of business turning laws into their favour. c) No more preferential treatment.
EU was doing fine as trading block. I do see a use for standardized plug, cables and energy networks. Its all that political stuff where it 💩 the 🛏️ .

@shebang The ending is great.
It really fucks you up. 😅
@matrix My Russian fwb might not like it if I did the same. 😬 Although it's tempting.
@ilumium You may be better off discussing this on Twitter. The reason why people come to the fediverse in the first place is because they like their freedom and the decentralized nature of this network. Having some kind of some kind of centralized totalitarian control like the EU may work better on Twitter than here.
@ilumium @publiclewdness
I do think some taxes are required and have a purpose. It's just government overreach that really doesn't sell the need for it.
Let alone having the EU, having that in the the same sentence as sovereignty comes off as counterproductive. Unless the EU goes back to a trading block or reverses all their senseless "hatespeech" laws in their member states and nullifies censorship, there will never really be any kind of #digitalsovereignty.
@shebang
In my libertarian society everybody would be armed to the teeth, making any potential invader bleed for every meter, especially when faced against a populace who has recreational rocket launchers and nukes. This in itself would be a deterrent not to even get near a country.
@SirHendrick
Holy fuck.. the tits on this chick.. That's my fetish now! 😅
@LukeAlmighty Pretty much. Don't want to get whelped or anything.
@grips cancer?
@matrix You may want to look into that. 😅
@matrix Is this monitoring notifying you?
@Sabex Also free things from the government and legislating your morality on others is both appealing for leftoids and rightoids.
@MartinJJ Everyone saw this coming and more than enough people warned for this. But no, gotta have them cheap untrustworthy imports..
@Baron_Rotterdam Somehow everybody is forgetting how corrupt, nationalistic, and gay hating the Ukranians can be.
It's almost on the levels of the Gays for Palestine joke.
@matrix Here in Netherlands its +2.27 Euro. Most of it are "temporary taxes" instituted in 1991 to cover budget shortfalls.
Censuur, terug van weggeweest
De afgelopen dagen is de Russische Federatie in enkele dagen van een autocratie in een totalitaire staat veranderd.
Het Europese antwoord is daarbij verbazingwekkend: de Raad van Ministers van de Europese Unie heeft in een ijltempo een verordening aangenomen die evenmin van respect voor uitingsvrijheid getuigt.
Dit is onverenigbaar met onze rechten en vrijheden. #Censuur
