Okay, we know that the US can’t be trusted because it’s political compass wil lalways be changing. So what now? We need to organize, but how? Volt Europa is pretty weak and several people I have met have expressed dislike for them, the EU is gonna be reactive instead of proactive towards threats as always, Elon is trying to buy out more parties in EU…
How to proceed? Anything to do that doesn’t seem hopeless, like voting for paneuropean parties, or leaving US based platforms for EU based, less developed platforms (like Peertube instead of Youtube, or Matrix instead of Whatsapp?
I wish EU was stronger and both the EU and its citizens (and netizens) les reliant on external services (like youtube, reddit, whatsapp, discord, etc.), and I want to do something about it, but I feel completely lost and hopeless.
Reasons for Volt being criticized are some of their decisions in the past and their base philosophy creating an EU leader similar to US Präsident or chancelors.
It seems that some are a bit starry-eyed about reasons and about what to do
Within volt views are probably mixed. Dure there may ne some starry-eyes but you won’t get far without a dream after all. And again it’s not something that can’t be fixed by joining and contributing, which is probably better than sitting on your screen and being on Lemmy to debate how everything is flawed tbf.
