The EU tries something like this every few years. If you don't want this to happen, you have to win every time, while they only have to win once.

It's an unsustainable situation.

[munksbeer]

Every thread on this I have to post the same thing, which I hope will make people inform themselves, because we need our attention to be directed at the correct people.

> The EU tries something like this every few years.

This is NOT the EU trying it (I'm not even sure you know what you mean when you say "The EU"). This is certain groups of politicians from certain EU member states raising it again and again.

Please keep yourselves informed, don't spread an incorrect message, because this is an important issue to fight and needs accurate information.

This IS eu trying it since late 2021. The original proposal was adopted by the lead european commissioner Ylva Johansson in May 2022 and the commission has been trying to find support for it in the council ever since.

Just like breathing, sleeping, and eating, you will always have to oppose tyranny. People who seek control will always try to get more. As long as ordinary people sustain strong opposition in word and deed it is sustainable, just like breathing.

Yep. And that's exactly why the EU has the structure it does.

Unfortunately the only country that ever left proceeded to shoot itself in both knees, light itself on fire and jump in a pool of gasoline. For NO reason.

There were reasons, they just weren't good ones

[j-krieger]

I have no idea how we came to a situation where something that was designed as a trade union can now repeatedly try to restrict my freedoms.

[ranguna]

And we only have to win once to reverse it.

[brikym]

It's not going to get reversed once they're able to analyze all comms automatically for wrong think and stop 'extremist groups' because something 'Nazi'. The Stati letter steamers could only dream of such a system.
