We help by moving on, building new ties, and never forgiving or trusting again at least as long as this farce is in living memory.

Watch that memory die the moment a European politician sees a chance for lining their own pockets...

How so? Is the USA really a viable investment right now? Do you realistically see it becoming reliable one in the foreseeable future?

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

No and no, but that hasn't kept European politicians from treating it as such. Especially our German "government" is full of sycophants kissing Silicon Valley's arses.

Compared to Europe? Yes. If we are cutting out morals, anyways and I’ve got some bad fucking news for the countries that helped America get this big with the large global intelligence apparatus: No one gives a fuck about morals but the plebs, maybe.

Hard to debate this, very hard.

I thought from your comment you were from or lived in the USA.

Edit: I did not pay attention to your instance

All good, it might end up being as bad if our population keeps doing dumb shit and our lucky country politicians keep responding to that.
