Where did that happen? I couldn’t find the community from your comment history

Just be aware that there are many haters here too. A few days ago I posted a positive message about the EU and… oh my God… what a wave of negativity and hate I get. It was just like we - in the EU - are now living under the authoritarian regime of the EU. My reaction was… I’m out of here, so I’m not in that community anymore. I hoped that Lemmy was a more “positive” community, but that seems to be a naive world view. There will always be haters and they are everywhere.

I think they’re referring to the 8 down votes they got on the post where they told people they need to watch a YouTube video

I find that the EU has much better representation on Lemmy vs Reddit.

The word youre looking for is „russian-american trolls”
The EU is neither a Regime, noir Authoritative. It is our current best way to never repeat the stuff that happened during the cold war in the USA by requiring everything to be open and accessible to the public. The EU is literally what you shape it to be. If you have a problem with what kind of laws the EU is passing, you have a problem with the people voting, not with the system itself.

Except there is a lot of unelected entities persuading governments. Germany for instance was going green with solar and wind, yet importer Russian energy and shut down nuclear. That kind of Davos influence can cause permanent harm to a country, as their energy prices are 3 times higher than the US now, leading to deindustrialization as they to compete with China for EV.

Yes, but these are unwanted laws passed by EU. These laws are not integrated into the EU itself. Yes, its a fucking joke that our democracy still does not have a good way of kicking out all the unwanted Nazis, but it dosent mean that the system needs to be destroyed (like the bots are saying). It just means that we need to expand the system more.
I would argue germany is going right because its pretty much 1938 again here. I mean, in the alternate world of the AfD these fuckheads are talking about how they would have won the election if the „Pedophile lobby” hadn’t brainwashed everyone with their Woke mind virus. Like, I might as well just take way too much of my meds again and see what I dream during my trip and these fuckheads would believe it as long as I say Heil Hitler at the end.
Also yes, they are literally setting themselves up for a fascist takeover with those laws, but I would argue that’s the price you pay when you implement democracy and then try to fight fascism with authoritarism instead of offering quality education.
So since the 4th Reich is already coming, next time we should actually not just quit at killing the Nazis in 1961

I do agree with all of your comment, its a brave new world whether we like it or not. I am left wondering if this is just the end result of fiat currency debasement, leading to decades of debt accrual and low rates, and now higher interest rates due to demographics.
Which is something Ray Dalio talks a lot about.
