Cosplaying to be anti “American Tech”, then kissing the empire hand for blessing.

This is called “neoliberal euro syndrome”.

    Look at ASML and Nexperia. The Dutch government bend over and take it all the time. That happens when politicians have no spine and follow the lead of that cunt Mark Rutte. The one who called Trump ‘Daddy’.

      Well, based on what I’ve read, - the “Dutch disease” is already a common term, and in this case ASML is like oil, they mostly employ foreign nationals and don’t contribute much to Netherlands’ education system or anything, but bring revenue.

      Anyway, doesn’t seem to be anything specific to any specific country, it’s just that the kind of people who want to do this, can. Spirit of the time.

      At the same time please remember how there were excuses all over the place to do such things against “far right”, that not being formulated as literal Nazis. Any kind of law-abiding conservatives (that is possible) have been pressed out from acceptable public discourse, so only trash that doesn’t care remains.

      I mean, OK, shouldn’t really blame the public, of what I remember, that concept of what is “far right” and “toxic” and unfit for humanity was mostly a corporate policy in 2010s, so the very same people. The worst decade for public discourse honestly, I’ve recently realized that I’ve just forgotten how bad that really was, the stage of humanity where the most respectable and trendy people are teenage wh*res in Instagram and corporate shills in corporate ads.

      And It’s important to remember this, feedbacks work, it’s better now. The wheels of history turn slowly and all that.

    The seized server belongs to Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I). Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.

      I surprisingly agree, just keep in mind that sometimes those nice people, even if they don’t approve of Stalin, would honestly say that you as you exist are of a wrong class background and behavior and should be reeducated or put down, if you’d ask them in a right way. No fault of yours but still needed if a revolution, ya knaw, takes place.

      And since some of my ancestors have been subjected to institutions doing that, more of “put down” than of “reeducated”, while not even being contrarian to said ideology, I’d say I’ve had enough of their niceties before meeting them.

      If they are ancom/ansyn and recognize intersections between that and ancap, then welcome.

      And don’t give me that bullshit about Stalin and Lenin not being far left, because, well, all the left in the world were their followers until roughly late 70s, when that started coming out of fashion, left propagandists living in mansions in western countries while receiving orders from USSR started causing suspicion as members of intelligentsia, so to say, and Khmer Rouge casted a bit of a shadow, and that Big Leap in China couldn’t be well explained from utopian point of view, and USSR’s economy and culture started visibly stagnating compared to the picture of the 60s (which surprisingly coincided with a moment of rebirth when many people still believed in communist ideas, or believed that those could be cleaned of Stalin and repressions), while those leftists generally didn’t care how Soviet people really lived before 60s, which is funny, because for USSR itself 70s were its pinnacle of development, when some of the utopian promises really materialized en masse for a huge portion of the population and not just in propaganda for westerners. Unfortunately they didn’t know where to go further from that, and while the average citizen realized they’ve become almost like a normal person, the average nomenclature family member realized they want more than what they had, and institutional strength is clearly incompatible with that.

      To this regime, the potential crimes that could be committed would be claiming to be against fascism.

      It then moves on to these criteria: “Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.”

      I mean take your pick, could be anything from the below list.

      Exposing the “Epstein Class” online

      Organizing “anti genocide” rallies

      Sharing awareness about workers rights

      Fighting discrimination and racism

      Campaigns to end the abusing of human rights

      Creating anti capitalist movements

      Whatever the US pedo leader is against

      Enjoying a succulent Chinese meal.

      But, more seriously…

      The seized server belongs to Italian internet provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I). Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.

      For years, A/I offered free website hosting and email services to thousands of organizations. It attracted the attention of the Trump administration, which regards antifa as a terrorist organization. In late August, U.S. authorities also labeled A/I a terrorist organization, alleging that it had supported antifa. NRC described the move as exceptional, noting that internet service providers are not usually held liable for what their users do.

      Just looks like they were hosting traffic that Trump decided to label as Antifa and therefore Terrorist. No indication of what that traffic actually was.

          These treaties have been around since the 80’s, though I doubt they have been abused this way before.

          It might be, but if you trace this from earlier, then I don’t think they are after a specific someone.

          they want data, anything that is not accessible for them before, they want to have it. i mean plantir or any other “mossad agency” is creating digital ID for everyone as we speak, big data llm is capable to identify who and where and what you are in seconds, as long as you feed it data.

            I definitely concede there’s no way of knowing. And going for overkill fits the regime’s MO. Just felt odd, I guess, mainly because they have such an insane intelligence apparatus, actually.
