I’m going to be very short on this one.

Brian Berletic said it best or earliest, referring to Thailand, but I’ve said it in private to myself about my own country before he said it on youtube, so I’m going to paraphrase him:

“When you have no own national language, no investment into your own culture, no media, no digital walls to keep foreign influence out, you have no ability to tell your own story or protect your own interests.”

The right-wing, is destroying our media, because their basic thinking goes like this, although this is true for all current Dutch political parties: “We have US media to take care of us. What we have should just repeat whatever the US says.”

The only group I can say that’s neutral on this are the Marxists thrown out of the Socialist Party as the Socialist Party here I will describe as yet another pro-US Feminist Party who threw out the tankies for not being woke.

So I keep saying it:

The EU need an own language that’s not English, French is okay, and even Russian is if the EU fails and Russia takes over.
Otherwise we keep being stuck doing things what a country in another continent wants without any consideration of anyone living here.

We need tech companies and apps just like China has if we want to strengthen our nations.

So far, the only country doing so really is Russia.
It’s a bit sad, because the other country that really wanted to do so is France, but they lack the power of Germany and Germany isn’t doing anything to further EU integration to my knowledge.

I put my hopes on this Bubble Tea society failing miserably economically. Maybe, maybe we will enter a more reasonable movement that understands the direction the world is going in.

But I fear we’re going headstrong into Anglo-fascism first instead.
