What a load of tripe.

I'm tired of this ol' propaganda trope.

* We're leading the world in fusion research. https://www.pppl.gov/news/2025/wendelstein-7-x-sets-new-perf...

* Our satellites are giving us by far the best understanding of our universe, capturing one third of the visible sky in incredible detail - just check out this mission update video if you want your mind blown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXCBFlIpvfQ

* Not only that, the Copernicus mission is the world's leading source for open data geoobservation: https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/

* We've given the world mRNA vaccines to solve the Covid crisis and GLP-1 antagonists to solve the obesity crisis.

* CERN and is figuring out questions about the fundamental nature of the universe, with the LHC being by far the largest particle accelerator in the world, an engineering precision feat that couldn't have been accomplished anywhere else.

Pioneering, innovation and drive forward isn't just about the latest tech fad. It's about fundamental research on how our universe works. Everyone else is downstream of us.

I’m confused. Who is this “We”? Do you realize how behind in many respects most of Europe is? How it’s been parceled up and destroyed by the EU? Science projects led by a few countries doesn’t cut it.

It’s not propaganda at all. The standards of living there are shit. But enjoy the particle collider, I guess?
