Europe@feddit.org•LibreOffice calls out EU officials for using Microsoft Excel, ignoring ODF
2·4 天前@luciferofastora
Sure. 👍 Keep the accounts for that reason but make them secondary & obvious mirrors to their official accounts.
That said, I think it’s too complete an idea (not just the Fedi server but the entire comprehensive & inter-compatible EU IT ecosystem) & EU logic is typically particulate (too many cooks imo), so I don’t see anything like this happening for a long time.

Is it such a radical idea that the EU, Parliament + Commission, should have its own Fedi server to base ALL its public discussions & comms on, with easily locatable layers & sub-layers for departments & offices + for nations, regions & municipalities, & even for citizens & the European public?
X, Fb, Insta etc. should all at best be clones/bots, so they wouldn’t lose audience but the audience would know where they come from + exactly how/where to contact s/o.

Countries don’t.
Countries’ LEADERS do.
And that makes the *countries* that much easier to extort and compromise.

“IF their claim to asylum was genuine AND they aren’t causing real harm to the host society.”
So, logically, if the “IF” condition is True and the “AND” condition is False, they maintain their rights to asylum. 🤷
“Moral arguments” are subjective. (Especially in this thread. 😏) “Send them to certain death” & “All humans have rights” can both claim subjective moral rectitude. 🤷

Europe@feddit.org•Sweden Tells Citizens to Hold Cash in Case of War or Crisis

I’m actually using cash more & more (& will not put my bank account on my phone!!). Rather that than some far-foreign digital “financial service” with all its tracking tech.

I guess the fact you’re “pretty sure” is encouraging. Along with “no evidence that these individuals are going to be tortured”.
What we really need is ACTUAL evidence that they are NOT mistreated on their return. THAT is what is absent.
Personally, I don’t see how Germany could care less once it’s no longer their problem.

Yeah, no reason why 25 or 26 countries can’t coordinate to do exactly what they were planning via the EU. And more still.

My logic on the possibility/probability of “are they interfering” / “Would they interfere” etc. etc. is… Well, get in their heads & ask yourself, why would they NOT? 🤷
Of COURSE they are!

Exactly.
And continuing to imagine the US is on Europe’s side is essentially Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

I will, anyway.

He hasn’t though. Either verbatim or not. He’s been sabre-rattling & playing war games around Taiwan.
When has he actually approached the Taiwan govt with any respectable offer of long-term cooperation?

I believe that partly explains how the US is mutating into a tyranny of roving street gangs. They all see themselves in those violent scenarios.

Xi could *substantially* improve his global reputation if he opted for a cooperative approach to relations with #Taiwan. They have been at loggerheads for decades because their govt systems & economies have been very different, but it’s China that is now evolving closer to Taiwan’s market-economy model. But they could be more inspired in establishing a more cooperative political model.
Either way, it is for the Taiwanese to choose their destiny.

And where would you draw their borders?
