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.

    You missed one other option that has also been gaining traction in Europe:

    employee = employer

    A co-op kinda gets the benefits of both, with the downside being growth can be a little slower due to how it’s organized and bureaucracy, but this could be fixed too with legislation.

      We’ll see. I’m currently working for a company that went from limited -> employee owned - nothing has changed. Maybe it would be different if there was no legacy of a limited company, but so far I’m still sceptical.
