  • China has another advantage. They don’t ask the market or the people of they are fine with the idea.

    In the meantime, US and Europe don’t do anything is because of the neoliberal idea that the market will solve all problems through the magic of capitalism. This has been true for the past 3 decennia now. And, we knew renewable must be a thing.










  • The lack of investment in strategic infrastructure, the lack of public expenses, and the mostly monolithic neoliberal economic politics bring them to this situation.

    At one point, you need to invest public money in the infrastructure that work for the day-to-day life of everyone. In this case, we speak about the railway network. Europe can’t be car centric like the US. The geography and the urbanism of European towns and cities don’t allow this perspective.

    This has implication on the job market as poorer can’t afford a job. The neoliberal politics targeting the social welfare make people poorer and this had influences on the consumption and the economy. It’s of course more complicated than this. But, it gives an idea of the situation.


  • For me, it looks like people are mad at the US defaultism of the decision.

    I understand why. It makes for part of the users no sense as they are protected by the law. It looks like a US “shitshow”. Countries are protecting the IP of the person, making it nearly impossible to pursue someone. Others have law allowing the use and the copy of copyrighted material for educational purposes. Some allow the download of copyrighted material.

    It’s the same with GDPR. Meta must comply. There is no exception because US defaultism.

    And we can understand this point of view too. It’s not binary as the US people think it is. It’s more mixed depending of the country.


    Generally, outside of this drama, on the internet, people are reclaiming they right and don’t want the US “example” anymore. They want the internet following their local laws like the GDPR for Europeans. They have the right to claim it. Thanks to GDPR, mandatory usb-c, battery replacement and others laws in Europe and outside, the consciences of are awakened that the US is not the model to follow in terms of law on the internet and technologies.
