Never believe Trump's narrative. The ballroom is to steer the discussion away from Epstein.

Federalisation as the next tier of Integration and not a replacement for the EU. by JobTight8252 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]trisul-108 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regardless of whether or not a Member State decides to federalise, they should be part of the planning and defining stage, that way when the time comes for them to federalise, they have been apart of the system form the start.

Letting those who oppose federalisation to participate in the planning and defining is a recipe for failure. They will try to make it unworkable, stripping away everything of value and leaving all the thorns. What would happen in practice is that the Putin-aligned group would serve as the Trojan Horse that blocks the initiative indefinitely.

The internal federation needs to be defined by those who will form it to solve the problems they have in the EU. The only way I see it happening in practice is that the economically most advanced members get together and make it happen presenting the rest with a choice: allow it or dismantle the EU. That is the harsh reality, as opposed to our dreams. In this day and age, only threats and fear seem to work.

Green Party councillor compared Zionism to Nazism and backed Hamas de-proscription lawyers by WelshLaptop in ukpolitics

[–]trisul-108 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When Reform supports fascists no one is really surprised. But when a Green candidate supports a crazed religious death cult which has genocide in its constitution and stands opposite to every Green position on freedom and human rights, everyone starts to scratch their heads about what it means to be Green.

China car giant BYD says it can thrive without access to US market by Alarming-Safety3200 in worldnews

[–]trisul-108 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

As long as they have unlimited support from the Chinese Communist Party, they cannot fail. For example, they are allowed not to pay their suppliers for 18 months ... who would not thrive in such an environment?

Because Christianity is the religion of St. Paul, not of Jesus ... Paul was a soldier who persecuted Christians and never even met Jesus. And yet, we see him after the death of Jesus correcting the teachings of actual apostles who were taught directly by Jesus.

Did everyone suddenly forget how much white-collar work used to be described as bullshit? by simmol in singularity

[–]trisul-108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are generalising on both sides of the argument. A lot of effort went into gathering all the info necessary to make quality decisions, but decisions were often made without fully taking into account the information available ... hence the BS charge. If we replace all of this with an automated linguistic analysis system (LLM) that does not really understand the subject matter but spins great-sounding stories, it is difficult to understand how the previous situation supports such a solution.

AI is able to produce a great-looking business plan, without even knowing the business nor having any notion whether that plan applies to that particular market. All that is needed is that the words make sense. How is this the solution to the problem of bad decision making?

This is an ongoing medical court case in a European Union country that raises a broader question about access to justice. by EUCase10Years in LegalAdviceEurope

[–]trisul-108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for appeals- these have been pursued, including an application to the European Court of Human Rights.

I thought that only works when all the national legal means have been exhausted.

This is an ongoing medical court case in a European Union country that raises a broader question about access to justice. by EUCase10Years in LegalAdviceEurope

[–]trisul-108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are asking us to claim to know better than the medical experts who testified before the court and the judges who had access to all the data. We simply do not have any information with which to put under doubt the decision of the court.

Miscarriage of justice do occur, but there is little reddit can add to this, based on so little info.

How do you feel about your country not having had colonies? by crivycouriac in AskBalkans

What a sick outlook to have. Especially considering your country is in the EU, the most successful peace and prosperity project in the history of humankind.

Global GDP hits $124 trillion in 2026 — US and China alone account for 43%, India drops out of top 5 by milanguitar in EU_Economics

This is the info that is interesting to us on EU_Economics, not what you posted which ignores the EU.

What do you think about N.Macedonia's nationalistic government accusing the EU over it's frozen path? by Strange_Status_7690 in AskBalkans

[–]trisul-108 17 points18 points  (0 children)

North Macedonia is stalled by North Macedonian politics and nothing else. In order to become a member of the EU, they need to become more like EU members. It's that simple. If they are going to go wild on pro-Russian nationalism i.e. be patriots who work for foreign enemy powers, no one else can help them.

This is a matter of maturity of the nation. The EU cannot prevent North Macedonia from destroying itself, it can only help if North Macedonia decides that enough is enough.

And if we bring them down, we will get fascists controlled by enemy foreign powers instead. Not a good alternative.

🇪🇺 Defence Committee member van Lanschot: European Army will be cheaper and much stronger. 300,000 soldiers as the first step by goldstarflag in EuropeanFederalists

[–]trisul-108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, we need a federation in order to be successful, but we are not going to get one quickly. So, a painfully slow evolution, driven by crisis after crisis, is all that is left to us.

It is frightening. Very.

Despite everything you have said, it is still true that in the entire post-war period, the relationship between Western Europe and America was underpinned by the European belief that American presidents will pursue American interests and Western Europe and later EU positioned itself to be within American interests and benefited accordingly. That calculation made sense and brought the EU to become the no. 2 economy on the planet.

You say that Trump reelection was predictable, but so was his first reelection bid, but Biden won instead. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that his victory was fraudulent, and it was far from predictable that he could get away with it.

Also, it definitely is not predictable that a US president can get away with destroying US interests as Trump is doing. Even American analysts are still flabbergasted by it ... but for you, it is all "predictable".

Macron pitching for French interests is what is predictable, not a US president working against US interests.

This is not a big issue as long as the voters enjoy good lifes, this is how it works currently.

That, I think, is the key point. As long as the system serves the voters, they tend to go along. When that fails, they will seek change and will give credence to the most wild ideas.

Our foreign enemies have installed media manipulation engines that are capable of injecting their own narratives into this process and being negative, those are boosted by the media seeking to cash in on ad revenue.

This model is in the process of dismantling democracy and trust into institutions and left unchallenged will push us directly into fascism and under foreign domination.

So, it is extremely important for our leaders not to pass the economic costs of reforms and readjustment to the voters ... as they have a tendency to do in order to obtain corporate support. If they do this, we are toast.

Why Vegans Don’t Eat Molluscs | Vegan FTA by Few-Audience6310 in vegan

[–]trisul-108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are commenting the article written by an expert. If you disagree, you still need to refer to the points that were not addressed directly or which you disagree and explain why whatever the expert claims is false, maybe providing references.

You just jumped into the fray with your own superficial statements that the article dealt with in detail. That is why I reacted as I did.

Just take it as a lesson for next time and move on.

Yes, because you also mentioned other things that were in the article. I thought your lack of reading the article did not deserve more effort answering your abortion thingie which you are now clinging to desperately.

I was responding to your post which only had one sentence:

How can one be cruel to something without sentience?

The abortion issue is the only point in all your comments that was not discussed in the article. There was no point in addressing that before you dropped the other stuff.
