And close all US military bases in Europe. We don’t need troops from a fascist dictator on our continent.
Every day I wonder how on earth we accepted this situation, with honourable exceptions such as the French.
Then do it. Make us hurt.
Please do and expel our ambassadors. Close us off and isolate us. I say this because the more it happens. The more the drooling masses here are made to feel the reality of the situation the better. You simply would not believe the level of cognitive dissonance. These people are deluded.
Sell US treasuries, or maybe Kier could stop buying them like they are 2 for 1
You can vote for it, right? The UK is a democracy, right? Right?
America is brandishing a shotgun and the EU is threatening to take it off the christmas card list!?
Cut all trade. Damn, usa boycot came to the pathetic level i’m not even accepting american-english when installing an o/s. It’s a common default, but i scroll to uk or canadian english. Pathetic, i know, yet here we are.
I double check everything I buy, to make sure nothing supports USA.
I even work on spreading Esperanto, as a neutral language for Europe and humankind 🫡
Why? English from England.
English, as an national language, is great for national communication.
But using national language for international communication is like using black-white television to watch a color movie - it kind of works, but it definitely loses a lot.
There are at least 2 important factors:
-
neutrality: English used for international communication favors people from English speaking countries. Inside of Europe that is not to big problem, because Ireland and Malta, while being great counties, have relatively small population - so English can work as a reasonably neutral language for European communication. But when it comes to Europe in world - English is used but a country that left us and by country that wages trade war against us. That highlights that English definitely is not a worldwide neutral language.
-
ease of use: Esperanto was designed to be easy to learn and use, while functioning very well as a mean of communication. It does not carry a burden of centuries of non-systemic evolution, so it does not have things like irregular verbs. It’s grammar is very regular with simple rules. It enables creating words with a set of prefixes and sufixes so one does not need to learn a bunch of new (different) words about related things (like: to eat, to snack, to feast, food, meal, cantina, utensils, etc. - they are manĝi, manĝeti, manĝegi, manĝo, manĝaĵo, manĝejo, manĝiloj etc). Experience shows that learning Esperanto is 5-10x faster that learning national languages. It’s just much not efficient.
Than comes other factors, like pushing some way of thinking, usual for one specific nation, to all humankind, atc, but those 2 are the basic ones.

The greatest weapon against the US is not bombs or military. It’s selling us shit! We can’t survive in isolation, consumer economy has fucked us for decades. Cut all trade and stop selling us products. Then we fall fast.
