Comment on After Years of Controversy, the EU’s Chat Control Nears Its Final Hurdle: What to Know
myrmidex@belgae.social 11 hours agoI hadn’t meant to accuse you of pride, it was a poorly chosen term to indicate whether ‘union of a limited subset of cultures’ is a positive thing (e.g. something to be proud of). I had no idea it would cause offense.

A mix of any subset of cultures is a net positive compared to isolation from “others”. It’s impossible to jump straight from isolation to one big happy family world-wide. A “subset” that you seem to consider worthy of criticism is a necessary step towards a better future.
And I do take offense when people insinuate that I am proud of anything but my very own accomplishments, because pride in something you had no part in (e.g. patriotism) is among the most moronic sentiments mankind ever came up with.
