@randahl it is time to spread this idea: can we please give @pluralistic suggestion of repealing anti-circumvention (DMCA equivalents) across Europe and the world a go? No more wall gardens.

This was the weekend Trump destroyed US exports.

The left side of the EU Parliament was already against adopting the EU-US trade deal but did not have the majority.

Now the deal is dead, as more parties outside the left are furious because of Trump's revenge tariffs towards countries protecting Greenland.

@randahl
Italian Prime minister Meloni said it has been just a misunderstanding, that this side of the Atlantic (Europe) sent an unclear message.

She has already talked with Trump and she will soon talk with the other European leaders.

What are the anti-coercion instruments?

@elCelio @randahl
Tuttapposto, then

@PG19582 @randahl That's the thing: It's not "Trump can't be trusted" it's "America can't be trusted".

All it takes is one election and off they go bouncing happily towards this fucking mess again, and that's assuming the replacement even bothers to improve things rather than maintain as the new norm.

@randahl great. In Germany #Spahn tries to sabotage #Merz. Spahn showed sympathy in an interview in Süddeutsche Zeitung for the US position.

@randahl @prefec2 Spahn basically says that Europe is depending on the US and that NATO may not be able to defend Greenland. We shouldn't jeopardize our relationship.
Spahn is becoming more and more radicalized. He's a german MAGA disciple. Hopefully Merz will sack him soon, there are rumors. But when he does, he won't do it out of conviction and more out of necessity. There are more and more critics in the CDU.

@randahl What I would like to know is when are the people in the US going to stand up to Donald Trump? How long will those who are afraid to speak out keep quiet? How much damage does he have to do before reasonable people in the US say, "enough"?

@Gilgamesch @randahl @prefec2 The truth is we don't need the US. Nato without the US is stronger than the US alone. We have to trust ourself not the politacal talks.

@bicycletting @randahl avec la tendance en Europe de briser la possibilité d'anonymat sur le net, je ne pense pas qu'une aversion Trumpienne ne change grand chose aux politiques concernant les moyens de protection technique (TPM). Les dirigeants EU et UK virent eux aussi facho, c'est juste que Trump les a out-fascisés plus vite, dépassés par la droite.

@randahl I agree with EU leadership turning away from the US, trump is not to be trusted ever!
