I don’t think we should conclude that a tech columnist who regularly shits on EU tech policy really intends to attack the EU writ large. If he sounds like he’s generalising to the “whole thing,” I’m pretty sure he understands most readers know he’s not talking about the entire EU experiment. Just the backward tech regulation.

Oh no, John criticizes at large. He complains that the EU itself is too obtuse, that the way they enact laws is obtuse, that the nomination process for officials is obtuse.

No. He criticizes quite specific things that show how completely clueless he is, as it is immediately pointed out both by people in the comments and his blogger/influencer/programmer friends.

He really is unique in how consistently wrong and clueless he keeps on being.
