- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

US looking to destabilise and destroy a democratically formed group / nation state for their own interests? Shocker.
It's not the first and it's not going to be the last.
Most EU members are small and easy to bully for a country the size of the US if on their own (and in fact many were bullied by the US before becoming EU members) and even the mid-sized ones could be pushed around, but a block of 470 million people with a larger GDP than the US cannot be pushed around just like that, so it's absolutely in the best interests of the elites which control the US and a very large fraction of its Economy (and hence stand to gain the most from any bullying by the US of other nations) to want to dismantle any association of small and middle sized countries that makes them capable of dealing with the US as equals.
Why do you think it was wealthy Americans who funded the Leave side of the Leave Referendum in Britain (for example, by paying Cambridge Analitica to use Facebook to manipulate people into voting Leave)?! It's just that, no doubt to their great disappointment, removing Britain from the EU did not significantly weaken the EU, only Britain, and they already had vast influence in British politics so don't really gain much from Britain leaving the herd to go out all on its own.
shit like this reminds me how much I love the EU
The Heritage Foundation is a treasonous organization. They need to be stopped. I fail to understand how Project 2025 isn't outright sedition, and it should've been treated that way by Biden.
It's been clear to anyone who read it that P2025 planned to dismantle the government and shred the constitution. If they were left leaning, the FBI would've been so far up the Heritage Foundation's ass, they would've been looking through their eyes like a Scooby doo painting.
It's the whole "they go low, we go high" mantra of liberals.
While in reality they're going nowhere but the hotel bar.
Sounds like an act of war
Ugh I'm so sick of these Heritage assholes. There's needs to be an American progressive counter organization.
Oops, all fed boi honeypots!
The American Heritage Foundation needs to pound sand.
They need to be put on a terrorist watch list.
ok so let's do these quickly:
- declare the AfD unconstitutional in Germany
- make Marine Le Pen ineligible in France
- destitute Viktor Orban in Hungary
Romania already banned its fascist candidate. The others should do the same
- All the others like-minded installed puppets by or via RF/CCP & Co.
( remember the Huawei case in Belgium) and Chinese Police Station in Europe)

I really think any countries which may try to leave the eu should think about how well that went for Britan.
Alright guys, it’s time to roll out the guillotines again
No tolerance for intolerance
Seriously, how are these clowns getting away with having workshops? They need to be scared for their lives
There are huge protests in Serbia, that last several months. Did the people in power went down? No. People literally need to eat grass to say fuck this shit.

I hear certain parts of the European Union can teach us a thing or two about those!
This is America, sniper rifles would be more useful.
They already tried that. We forgot about that guy because a much more attractive shooter caught our attention.

I am truly, honestly and in all seriousness scared. I have already sought professional help, have my First Session tomorrow but i must say... The Things that Happen These days worry me to a Point where i am truly afraid of the Future.
Ive never been more worried in my life. Not for myself so much, I'm older so i won't have to live that long in their authoritarian future. I'm extremely worried about my 25 year old son, and my 3 year old niece. This will be their world.
It is really affecting my son, who is losing hope, and so are his friends. They don't see a future of freedom and pride in their country. My son made friends from all over the world when he was in college, and even they are worried about the future of the world with a Nazi regime in America.
If there isn't a Musk file on me yet, there will be, and eventually the list will reach my name. I've been thinking about what would radicalize me beyond propagandizing on Lemmy (now that im permabanned from Vichy Reddit after 12 years and nearly a million karma for anti-Trump posts), and all patriotic, loyal Americans should be thinking about it, too. I have to stick around as long as possible for my wife and son, but if something were to happen to them, especially my son, then I've got nothing to lose, and it's on, and i go full on guerilla warfare.

The way it's going I think we're closer to seeing the USA dismantled
Exactly, but how can Russia’s newest puppet sta… cough… ally help with the next phase of the plan.
The ”everything is a russian conspiracy” theory seems more plausible every day…
Because it is. And everybody denying it is a complete idiot.
I mean a lot of things are. Russia definitely wants to destabilize the west as much as possible. But like, not literally everything that Russia could do and would benefit them is actually done by them. We gotta focus on the big picture and not get lost in the weeds of, for example, whether Russia is to blame for the Smolensk air disaster, or every single Baltic underwater cable break in the past 2 years.

The US wants to add the US to this list United States involvement in regime change. They are not our friends!
“The Trump administration’s most influential think tank, The Heritage Foundation, is receiving proposals from illiberal forces in Poland and Hungary” This part is very interesting. Are we assuming these groups are just excuses for their own agenda, or would this even be up for discussion had they not received the proposals? Something else?
It's too bad that "The Great Reset" they have in mind is just tearing down democratic institutions and handing all power to fascists, because a reset that was truly great might be worthy of consideration: All debts cancelled, all bank balances zeroed, all existing copyrights and contracts annulled, ownership of homes falls to those who live in them, ownership of factories and fields are granted to those who work in them, and after a period of great confusion we start again from there.
The director of the climate denying thinktank The Heartland Institute Lois Perry was spotted in Reform’s head offices celebrating with Nigel Farage after the party hit 205,000 members on social media.
The Heartland Institute was reportedly involved in the radical Project 2025 agenda, which was written as a roadmap for Donald Trump’s controversial second term, and it has been a leading voice in denying scientific evidence of human caused climate change.
So we can suspect that the US is joining Russia against UE because UE is pushing electricity against the oil&gas driven old world.

I hope the people of USA are aware of this, as this could absolutely mean war.
