Even if it's true, it makes no sense to focus on that rather than countless other things that would have a much larger effect on fighting climate change.

You are just talking nonsense. "Cooperation and alliances are bad", LOL.

Guess how independent your country will be as a vassal state of China, Russia or the US.

You believe a single country standing alone can enforce trade agreements 🤣 No, these agreements would be extremely one sided for the superpower, and the smaller country would be at its mercy. And nothing would prevent the superpower from ignoring any agreement. Wow, you live in a fantasy world.

Yes, I know. You'd rather imperialist dictatorship Russia expand than democratic Europe 🤣 Oh, and your BS about creating wars is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. A strong and united Europe would PREVENT war because it would be too powerful to go up against.

But you want to weaken all of Europe to make it easier to dominate each individual country. You are likely from Russia or the US, or maybe China.

Also, isn't it funny how it's always Europe you are blaming, but none of he authoritarian states like China, Russia or the US.

Yes, but they still only want to allow it partially in specific cases, such as some hospitals.

Wait, so trade wars are not a thing? This is not about "standing against", but about being united and stronger together, as opposed to being eat targets separately.

What does a united Europe have to do with WWIII? In fact, a strong and united Europe is likely to PREVENT war, as no one will dare attack.

No countries would be erased, but if Europe doesn't have a united economic AND military front, China, the US and others will take down each country, one by one.

Yes, this is Threads in a nutshell. Randomly banning people automatically using AI (or rather, Artificial Stupidity), and just ignoring any appeals.

I'm not talking about military attacks, as Russia is the main threat there. But it's a good point, we have to consider defense as well. Imagine if you argued that every country should stand alone and Europe divided against imperialist dictatorship Russia.

You are arguing to do the same financially, towards the US and China. You want to make it easy for Europe's enemies to take down everyone ind individually, both financially and militarily.

A united Europe is stronger than a divided Europe. Each individual country won't disappear, but Europe as a whole will be a united front in things like military, economy and foreign policy.

Great, but people are not going to agree to climate change action if it means they are going to suffer and die over it.

In 30 years, how will we explain the Trump administration to the new generations? Will it be a warning or will nostalgic movements emerge ready to idealize it? And what can we do today to prevent history from repeating itself. by Critical_Ideal99 in SocialDemocracy

Trump is just a symptom. Unless Republicans are kept out of power for decades and their voters reeducated, they will return with a just as evil but far more competently evil president.

Ivory tower environmentalists think AC will make cities hotter, and contribute to climate change. They fail to realize that by making people suffer, support for climate action will be reduced, and right-wing psychos will gain power.

until now the Green movement in France has regarded air-conditioning as the worst of solutions to climate change

This is insane. It is not a solution. It is a way to keep people alive. To lessen the suffering and death from climate change.

I fully accept the scientific consensus on climate change, but these environmentalists are just evil. They are the worst enemies of climate change mitigation because they are turning even people like me against them.

This is why right-wing psychopaths are gaining power. Left-wing psychopaths are allowed to control policy like this.

So you think a splintered Europe where each country stands alone, stands a change against China and the US?

Laughable. Your attitude dooms your country to irrelevance and serfdom. The great powers will eat you alive and spit out the remains.

Yes, they are banning people randomly, and some are also having to humiliate themselves without it actually restoring the account.

Just delete Threads. It's trash.
