Every day we get closer to an Orwellian society. The United Kingdom may already be one.

    US big tech is influencing europe to do the same as the us, and opening them up for absolute power.

    the only way out is to stop being US vassals.

      No. This is a very naive & dated way of thinking about the world of today. We don’t really have distinct borders distinguishing politicians at that level.

      It’s more accurate to say the Davos group is ruling all western nations. What looks like separate world leaders and parties is actually one world-spanning organization of those with power. And what’s worse, they’re all Nazis and technocrats.

      The Nazis learned from WW2. If you invade a country, the people fight back. If you groom and install/bribe your own people into leadership positions, the people just let it happen.

        big US capitalists are the ones ruling western nations (and the third world, through neocolonialism). other western oligarchs might play a role.

        in this case, europe doesn’t have its own big tech that compares to the US’s, and i don’t think they are allowed to.

        i don’t think they are relying on a formal, yearly summit to do so either. the real politics are made behind close doors, and i doubt there’s a public list anywhere of the people coming to agreements on how to direct their power.

        i will agree they are fascists who learned their lesson from nazi mistakes.

            being independent is better, but oligarchs are a real problem aren’t they. we really gotta figure this shit out.
