Why does it feel that the evil sides globally are winning. Even evil people are winning. Why?

the future looks bright

Lol, "don't worry, the people who have all the power will spontaneously give up that power to allow us to regulate them."

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

No the politicians we elect do that part. Who else?

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 hours ago

Really? They sure don't seem to be.

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

there are much better regulations for media, elections, political donations, taxes in the EU so clearly the politicians there have been busy.

why not everywhere else?

they could do with tackling tax havens but one step at a time

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

All of those regulation are being stripped away in Europe too, at an increasing rate. They only existed in the first place as a result of labour militancy in the pre-neoliberal era, and they started being eroded the moment that was fully crushed.

The people who control legislation don't answer to you, and the people they do answer to don't want them 'tackling tax havens' or any of the other regulations you do.

and yet the EU keeps adding regulations

e.g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Services_Act

i think you might be wrong

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

I mean, if you want to pretend like Europe isn't going the same direction as the USA, you're welcome to deny reality, I can't stop you.

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, I'm sure people will find your "Europe is actually moving in the right direction and everything is fine!" claim very convincing.

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 46 minutes ago

what you mean with the facts i supplied with it?

yeah just maybe

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 33 minutes ago

Oh definitely, such convincing "facts"

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 28 minutes ago

I didn't know Senator McCarthy was still alive and posting on Lemmy.

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

ok come on how does that make any sense whatsoever?

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 minutes ago

Don't worry, you'll figure it out eventually.

[-] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago
