Okay, we know that the US can’t be trusted because it’s political compass wil lalways be changing. So what now? We need to organize, but how? Volt Europa is pretty weak and several people I have met have expressed dislike for them, the EU is gonna be reactive instead of proactive towards threats as always, Elon is trying to buy out more parties in EU…
How to proceed? Anything to do that doesn’t seem hopeless, like voting for paneuropean parties, or leaving US based platforms for EU based, less developed platforms (like Peertube instead of Youtube, or Matrix instead of Whatsapp?
I wish EU was stronger and both the EU and its citizens (and netizens) les reliant on external services (like youtube, reddit, whatsapp, discord, etc.), and I want to do something about it, but I feel completely lost and hopeless.
Wealth disparity is the number one enemy of the modern world. Every millionaire with a net worth over X is a threat to democracy and actively reduces our chances of maintaining a democracy. I think I remembering hearing X being 10 million from a scientist researching this thing, but even if you bump it up to 20 or 50 million - still insane piles of wealth - removing the rest via taxation would change the world for the better overnight.
Break up monopolies and tax the rich out of existence, that should be the platform of every party, the single policy that we should strive to complete this year, before it’s too late. The US is what too late looks like, this is all a consequence of allowing the Uber wealthy to continuously drain the network of the bottom 99% of people.
