Kefahuchi_son!!! posted:I guess nowadays you can measure the success of something by the lengths the mainstream press goes to ignore it. Barely a mention in portuguese papers or tv. Papers here informed us a year ago the riots had completely died down. Then they let Macron have a platform to soapbox his speech on. I would not shed a tear if journalists were being shot on the street anymore (well I do because the wrong ones are and will be), the next decade is going to be awesome lol BioMe has issued a correction as of 17:47 on Dec 25, 2019 |

Like a year and a half ago I talked with some folks who voted Five Star in the latest election, and told them: "You're handing the country over to the fascists." They laughed in my face. "We got the most votes. We're the majority party. The League is a bit player." Who's laughing now, huh? (I'm not loving laughing. There is absolutely nothing to laugh about.)

Horseshoe theory posted:I'm assuming they'll allow the same for Uber, Lyft, WeWork, etc.? No. For Uber, there already is an earlier decision which states that Uber does not provide 'an information society service' (a decision actively gets referenced in the decision at hand, by the way). "ECJ, C‑434/15, Recital 40 posted:That intermediation service must thus be regarded as forming an integral part of an overall service whose main component is a transport service and, accordingly, must be classified not as ‘an information society service’ within the meaning of Article 1(2) of Directive 98/34, to which Article 2(a) of Directive 2000/31 refers, but as ‘a service in the field of transport’ within the meaning of Article 2(2)(d) of Directive 2006/123. Reuters also overstates the scope of the Airbnb decision. Airbnb won, to keep it in journalist lingo, 'on a technicality', because France didn't send prior notice about its measures against Airbnb.

The basic idea is decent, and if it were with more left-wing oriented representatives could be great and help less developed countries improve and guarantee peace. But... yeah.

oliwan posted:it has guaranteed peace for the longest period in Europe ever op So far. Austerity is fanning the flames of right wingers, though. I hope I'm wrong about this but I feel it's only gonna get worse. I will say that I think EU did good at least trying to accept migrants and manage that situation without deploying guns at the borders.

I think overall I agree that it has done good for the world, I am just skeptical of it's ability to last in a world we seem to be approaching, with climate change and the right wing rise on the horizon. A lot of that skepticism is rooted in the neolib bullshit, naturally

It's just infected with neolib cancer rn. and there is no cure for it either, since the cancer was institutionalized and constitudionylized in the founding loving treaty of the gently caress union. it would literally require a new constitution of methotrexate, written in a union-wide fuckfest convention, and then agreed upon in a new union-wide referendum by every state. and we all know how thats gonna go

oliwan posted:it has guaranteed peace for the longest period in Europe ever op That was NATO and the WP. Also, even if they did (and until 20 years ago the CEE was a good thing) the course they are following now leads only to division and the rise of the hard-right. Sure, roaming and student mobility, but none of that even begins to compensate the disfunctional economy, the stupid, pig-headed austerity dogma and the neoliberalism ingrained in the treaties or how much tax evasion is encouraged be the institutional structure as it stands. I mean, couple of years ago they wanted to finish with the double Irish arrangement and they gave a 5 year warni g vefore doing it? What was the point of that? Giving evaders time to find new loopholes? And that's without going into just how ridiculously the eu to particular intererests. https://lobbyfacts.eu/ https://corporateeurope.org/en Those should help. Oh, and if you are going to answer "but America/ others are worse!" Please don't bother. The misery of others doesnt help me or the people I love.

Perhaps I should have said that the cold war + european countries being vassals of one or the other big boys is that brought peace.

You know, that's an interesting point. Did poo poo like the hidden invasion of Crimea even happen during the Cold War? Obviously, there were proxy wars in non-european locations, and grandstandings like the Cuban Missile Crisis, but has there ever been anything quite like what's happening, y'know, right now? (also proxy conflicts haven't stopped, they're just less overt than during the cold war)

Honest Thief posted:In Portugal the new lead of the Conservative party is the most dweebiest beige portuguese guy you could picture This is one of those cases where I feel bad for the former leader since most of her campaigning was that kind that outright highlighted issues in transportation and tried to be that Dream Candidate the commentariat wanted any time there was an election elsewhere in the world, down to constantly being on their talk shows (And getting outright ignored or shat on for not being gunho hard enough on getting Portugal to get on board with US-style Healthcare and Drug Policy). I remember seeing her pop nearby for somewhat delayed subway roadwork and popping way, way more for stuff on keeping the SNS going or highlighting aid on families than on culture war poo poo. But now that they have a Culture War dipshit on the lead! A guy that lost on 0.5% on a "NO VENEZUELA!!!!111" ordeal that even alienated returned Venezuelan-Portuguese migrants on a Centre-Right stronghold.
