In questi tempi difficili dovremmo ricordare le parole di de Gaulle:

Can we fucking grow a pair and give the European Commission the right and fucking mandate to start blocking US tech products one by one.

Obviously many will need substantial investment beforehand. You are not going to replace Google if there isn’t a European index available. This requires a longterm and stable policy for the entire union.

But shit like Twitter or Instagram can be replicated by any EU company putting in a few months effort.

Start with Twitter and work from there.

Playing stupid is what the war profiteers behind the scenes want people to believe. [Prescott Bush, the patriarch of the Bush War Crime family, was selling war materiel to Churchill, Stalin and Hitler right up until the day Hitler declared war on the US.](https://www.google.com/search?q=prescott+bush+sold+war+mateiel+to+hitler&oq=pres&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggBEEUYOzIGCAAQRRg5MgYIARBFGDsyBwgCEAAYgAQyBggDEEUYPDIGCAQQRRg8MgYIBRBFGDwyBggGEEUYQTIGCAcQRRhB0gEINTc2MGowajeoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

What has now changed, is the tech-bro billionaires want all that money that was promised to Ukraine for themselves.

*And* all the “rare earths” from Ukraine, *and Greenland* they can get their hands on.

Thanks for the Nukes, Charlie.

De Gaulle was a shit head. He hated the US (and the British just as much) for petty reasons. He was mad because they wanted to replace him in WW2 and never let go of that. He is the guy who prevented the creation of a European army by rejecting the idea for the EDC (European Defence Community). He also blocked Britain from joining the predecessor to the EU because he said they were not real Europeans. De Gaulle was an asshole and not someone who should be quoted when Europe is pushing for more unity.

I mean, he was absolutely wrong when it comes to Indochina or French colonialism in general, but there he has a point.

We should build a statue of him in every European capital

About the Americans he was right over and over again.

they would not take Europe seriously unless France has the nuclear weapons
