    I mean, he basically was last time. So…yeah.

    Nothing the GOP is doing right now helps the United States.

    Just have to ask “who does it help?” And the answer over and over is: Russia.

    Edit: Maddow did a piece saying this exact thing (which was the impetus for my post initially). And I know WE all know that, but I hope more on air personalities keep saying it.

      • Destroying the economy of the USA: check
      • Deviding the country: check
      • Supporting rather Russia than Ukraine: check
      • Weakening the EU: check

      There is a second angle to all of it, and that’s the Elon Musk/Peter Thiel/JD Vance angle, which also appears to be aimed at imploding the US but the goal there is privatizing government rather than helping foreign nations.

        That’s a good point.

        They want to help Russia but also line their pockets along the way.

        100%.

          Afaiu, they don’t give a hoot about Russia, they just see the US as “declining” and thus want the US to end as quickly as possible, so they can privatize the remains for their own benefit.

            Actually there’s more to it than just their own benefit, and it’s far more dangerous.

            It’s about saving the world by destroying it. There is this strange movement called accelerationism, basically the idea that tiday’s world is doomed and we should speed up it’s destruction to trigger {the rapture,world revolution leading to communism,settling Mars,alien intervention}.

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They’re cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
