The local [17:31] Techrights-sec press never covers what's going on in the EU and the member state politicians [17:31] Techrights-sec use that as cover for making problems, which they then vote through. Then [17:31] Techrights-sec after voting the problems through they go back to their country and [17:31] Techrights-sec whine that their hands are tied and that the EU is 'forcing' them to [17:31] Techrights-sec make problems. They have some kind of symbiosis with the mainstream press [17:31] Techrights-sec in that the early developments are never covered, except by a few outliers. [17:31] Techrights-sec EPO, being the second largest instution (not in the EU though) in Europe, [17:31] Techrights-sec gains a bit of shelter from the above symbiosis, as far as I can tell. [17:36] Techrights-sec (I will quote) [17:38] schestowitz-TR Other groups of politicians seem to play on all of the above to flirt [17:38] schestowitz-TR with the populist / nationalist vote and rile subpopulations up against [17:38] schestowitz-TR the EU. Yet they are involved in creating the very situations they [17:38] schestowitz-TR then exploit.

Yet they are involved in creating the very situations they [17:38] Techrights-sec then exploit. [17:41] Techrights-sec all the while pretending to be absolved of involvement [17:41] Techrights-sec in the process. ● Aug 16 [18:18] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:18] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:22] *rianne_ (~rianne@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [18:24] *liberty_box (~liberty@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 16 [19:30] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:30] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:49] *liberty_box (~liberty@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [19:49] *rianne_ (~rianne@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 16 [20:05] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@jkzjs2vx3janq.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [20:51] *rianne_ has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
