It's also funny how every thread related to UE regulation turns into the UE being depicted a "no-free speech" / "corrupt" / "undemocratic" etc.

Yeah we're living in an absolute hellhole here in the UE, damn those institutions for trying to protect the general population against megacorps / missinformation. (/s)

It honestly feel more like the comment section on Youtube or Facebook sometimes around here.




Yeah, everyone shits on the EU, like "the EU is actually worst than [insert random dictatorship]", yet there are more people trying to emigrate to EU than ever.

Even inside EU, people shit on the EU. My take is that people in EU and in the west generally are bored/ashamed with their easy lives, they want to be badass, not to have it easy. So they live in a fictional universe where they are actually persecuted. "We have no freedom of speech!! We live in a dictatorship". But deep down it's all pretending, no one want to actually emigrate from EU to Russia. Even Russians, whenever enough money is around, well, you can be sure the children of wealthy oligarchs are living in London, Paris, Bruxel, enjoying free speech, freedom, healthcare, schools, but somehow, still shitting on the EU...


Or perhaps it isn't a hellhole because we allowed several degrees of freedom without the control of information.

States that are hellholes almost exclusively opt for this option and it isn't difficult to explain why that is.

The Hunter Biden's scandal was misinformation lite. The fact that it benefits Putin, means it is misinformation enough to be silenced. The fact that you are bringing it up is essentially you being a supporter of Putin.

Why the /s ? You actually said the truth, but it seems you aren’t aware.


I laughed so hard when I read your comment, thank you. Even the Democratic base acknowledges Hunter's laptop to be real and full of incriminating evidence - most democrats want Hunter prosecuted.

Please, tell me you're from the EU! Only EU media is still peddling this BS.


ROFL.

I'm better at simulating NPC behaviour than I thought.


That we got downvoted about something so easily verifiable and so shockingly corrupt really says a lot about the length humans go to grip to a delusion.

Back in 2020 those of us that had followed the Ukr war since 2014 knew that the material in the laptop was real. It's 2024; by now even the NYT has admitted the laptop and its contents are his.
