The EU is not a country, yet it does stuff that otherwise countries do, like legislating and judicating privacy laws. The correct term would have been “other political entity” but what is the point of that word picking again?

Like any political entity the EU can do many things at once, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Different institutions also have different interests. The Commission isn’t the primary driver behind chat control, a number of member states are. At the same time EU courts tend to be staunchly opposed to mass surveillance and in the European Parliament it depends on the party.

Grammar Nazi here: “eine Gemeinschaft”

Well, we could see the might and awe of that power when its intervention in Japan fell almost completely flat. The only thing it really achieved was to convince the EU that the US is a rogue hostile country and that it needs to prepare accordingly.

Yes, but it makes no sense to force the construction of a vast over supply of parking even in urban, well transit connected locations as is currently the case in Austria in general but certainly in Vienna. You either turn everything around the building into a hostile, ugly parking lot or have to build expensive underground parking that make flats considerably more expensice, even if those garages then remain half empty because they are required to be built way above actual demand.

Always has been.

It is pretty much what the EU is doing. Tariffs on Chinese cars to compensate for their subsidies and brand agnostic subsidies for EVs on the domestic market (also applicable to Chinese cars of course, but equally to everyone else, levelling the playing field).

We have yet to see if the European producers are going to survive but they at least appear to have gotten the memo on at least competing in the sector of not oversized, affordable EVs again. Renault is pretty successful with its R5 and I would think also the new Renault Twingo should sell well for example.

In the US the car industry has pushed itself into a corner it cannot get out anymore, except maybe Tesla, which does know how to build efficient and somewhat affordable cars. It just chooses to go the opposite way because the guy at the top is a lunatic. The rest of the sector doesn’t even know how to do it, even if they wanted. They are heading to their Kodak/Nokia end game. Except Nokia found a way out by offloading the damage to a foreign company stupid enough to purchase the doomed branch and consequently refocusing on the other branches that it could secure a future (for Nokia that was mobile communication infrastructure).

Lobbying for walling off the US market while making laws to postpone the death of oversized combustion engine vehicles, will postpone the inevitable but only by so much. At some point the US will be the only underdeveloped country left, still choking in traffic fumes, I don’t think it would even get that far before everything collapses among US car producers.

Plenty of capitalist countries can have electric cars, including but not limited to Chinese cars. The problem isn’t capitalism here, it is the US.

You have a very peculiar understanding of words.

You are aware that 21% of the Israeli population are Arab, mostly identifiying themselves as Palestinian or Palestinian Arabs? They too?

Yes, I don’t care if my views align with the slop or not. Just look at that weird tiny door for example.

Because corruption and/or the US pushing hard for it and they’d not ready to fight over it.

The Wehrmacht was a draft army, the SS was an elite force that picked people for being true believers. Both committed war crimes but one of the two had only true believers while the other had everything from a believer to just some guy trying to not get killed.

US Americans should know a thing or two about war crimes committing draft armies. Was every US soldier in Vietnam a war criminal?

Almost. Reality is even more impressive because it is so crucial for NYC, that, even in the US, authorities are investing just enough for it to not fall apart in one big bang.

Something as unique was hardly “bolted on”. It would have been easier to just go with the ordinary. The mid-life redesign kept most of it intact, it merely did away with that “unique” flat hood , going for a less noteworthy more streamlined curve.

The Multipla is likeky the ugliest car ever made, at the same time it is one of the greatest designs ever made. How? Because it was an incredibly functional and innovative car, which is also why it sold despite its looks. It’s exterior was not bolted on, it was part of why the interior could work. The car was never designed for the compensating crowd so did not need to impress anyone.

I don’t write any articles on him or his dot file collection. The reach of Lemmy comments is close to zero and even more so among the red pilled who know the truth.

It is not. Just your regular social media disinformation.

I won’t support disinformation just because it is supposedly for the good side.

There are less stupid ways than the above which changes nothing and just gives ICE an excuse to murder someone.

The SS was an elitist regime special force with many educated people (enabling them to be even more monstrous). The SA was the regime mob, with your typical gangsters. The SA was first and got too power hungry, didn’t end well for them.

I don’t see an SS eqivalent in the US so far, maybe if the tech fascists created a private army murdering for the regime?
