If the EU admin does not represent its constituents, it should be threatened. Otherwise it ends up being undemocratic rep of various business interests. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago Something something governments should be scared of their people permalink fedilink source parent [–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) The brexit folks will point at this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago Yeah but the UK has been notably more censorious/orwellian since Brexit, so it's a weak comparison.

I think the worst part is that is happening. And yes, this definitely gives me anti-EU sentiment. (And I have always been pro-EU) The problem with today's politics is the cult mentality that comes with it. There is such "keep supporting our team" rethoric that fucking politicians count on it. We should just hold them accountable. This is my line in the sand, Fuck EU, Fuck all the parties voting yes, and Fuck every-fucking-one. If everyone is acting fascist, there is no point on trying to stop fascism. And whether you like it or not this is Fascist as fuck. permalink fedilink source parent
