Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

Rules:

1. No Bigotry or Hate SpeechAny forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.

2. No ZionismAny forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.

3. Stay CivilPlease maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.

4. No MisinformationSpreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.

Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.

5. No AI ContentPlease do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.


Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

He agree with Trump imperialist actions as long as it doesn't threaten Greenland and Europe . Such a hypocrite. His approval rate is 11%

That could be true, but you need a better source. De facto biggest liar in the world is not a valid source.

Take the message Trump shared early Tuesday from French President Emmanuel Macron, which the Elysée Palace says is authentic.

EU‘s nuclear power and even they chicken out of establishing a no fly zone over Crimea and Donbas.

On many things that might be true, he's a typical European centrist in that regard, but he's been championing EU's military independence for decades and has been getting endless pushback for it. That suddenly changed after Russia invaded Ukraine and his position became the default in Europe.

He wants to push this because france is one of the largest weapon manufacturers in the world, that was always a major reason for the pushback, because it is purely a selfserving and warmongering agenda.

What makes you think all this militarism will be purely defensive and won't just end up being used against ourselves? (Especially when that line is being pushed by france, whose weapons are being used to slaughter civilians all the time and a country who is extremely violent towards it's own population.)

edit: I'm not trying to come of as an asshole but this man has been fucking awful here and you should be wary of anything coming out of his mouth
