Whilst the European Union talks of matters such as “strategic autonomy” and idealizes itself as a unified, independent force for good in the world, the reality could not be further from the truth. Espionage revelations are just the tip of the iceberg of a variety of ways in which the United States has, through its integration with Europe’s military and security dynamic, utilized a myriad of political tactics to strongarm the bloc into following its political will and agenda, even when it is apathetic or openly objects to it.

    I mean … can you really blame them? clinging to something to believe that you’re right feels really good, like really. and honestly at this point I don’t think the average person has any chance of actually knowing who’s right and who’s wrong.

    I myself am going through some sort of cognitive dissonance since I joined Lemmy because of how different opinions are from other places I’ve been.

    I mean I saw a few posts against wikipedia on the front page right now T_T
