Colleagues. I don’t feel like having to publish 20 disclaimers here to clarify exactly what I mean. People who want to understand my message will understand them. You should not look for too many “double-bottoms” or “hidden messages” in them. Do you have a problem with the “superficiality” of my post… so be it.
DETRUMPIFY YOURSELF Buy european products Travel european countries Vote pro european parties Defend european values Use european technology Use european opensource Invest in european companies
Support open-source in general, not just european. Also: contribute code, translations, documentation If you can
detrumpify myself? So after Trumps out of office its back to business as usual? The problems run deeper than just one guy
Other non-US countries also exist.
I prefer to assume that the buy European channel is for Europeans. It’s not all about Trump, it’s about buying local.
I think they mean you can buy stuff from Africa, Latin America and Oceania for example, you know, the rest of the world that isn’t nazi. Europe can’t survive without any international trade, together we can beat the US into submission (through economic pressure)
Sure, you can. Maybe that’s not the point of the buy European channel though?
If the objective is to ‘Detrumpfy’ like the image implies, focusing solely on Europe isn’t the answer.
You need to fix the typo in the forum title.
You were absolutely right about the typo. Thank you.

We even have a better acronym than the yankees.
We are Europe, we have a different acronym in every language.
At this point, it doesn’t even make sense to refer to Microsoft, Google, etc. as ‘American’ companies any longer.
The central destructive forces in the world are truly multinational. Multinational corporations, billionaires buying entire governments. Just referring to them as ‘American’ implies that these organizations, themselves, have some loyalty to the United States.
They don’t. They hate U.S. institutions, so they bought them. They hate American citizens, so they take from them and harm them. The genuine threats to all of us, everywhere, are capitalists, and they have no loyalty or regard for anything other than themselves.
Those companies are American, yes they have offices in other locations, but they are mostly American. We need to build proper competition, in Europe.
These companies absolutely do need proper competition, but any classification of them as ‘American’ is shortsighted. These are truly multi-national, global corporations who exert their power across the entire planet and harm people across the entire planet, including in America itself.
