"we don't really care what they have to say"

What the last two weeks has made super clear:

It's not just Facebook v. the Digital Services Act (always was); and its not Marjorie Taylor Greene v. the DSA (she doesn't care!)

It's the USA v. the EU

This is geopolitics all the way down.

“Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

karula.bsky.social•45 days ago

Well it is about economics not much geopolitics.

If you want acces to EU markets then you will comply to EU regulation and we dont care much what you have to say.

srbratton.bsky.social•45 days ago

She’s such an ignorant person.

lrnzcpmn.bsky.social•45 days ago

I often think the incoming administration would rather go to war with the European union than with Russia. Years ago I would have found this alarmist, but now ... not so much.

virtousvirgo.bsky.social•44 days ago

What they’re trying to make happen is to have America shift away from the European nations and join the Putin led Oligarchy nations, and join them in plundering the rest of the world until only America, Russia, China, and India left. Then the white nations will join against the non-whites.

tailwaggingdog.bsky.social•45 days ago

An astonishing level of ignorance once again on full display.

To be so uneducated and biased - I feel sorry for her, almost.

quercus48.bsky.social•45 days ago

She doesn’t seem to grasp that, it’s only European defense in service of American defense.

pollenatrix60.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's "Project Russia" all the way down & MTG is forever Putin's 🤡

jotata75.bsky.social•45 days ago

It is the US politics for sale! To the highest bidder!

venividistupui.bsky.social•45 days ago

As if we had any doubts about that.

feelingantsy.bsky.social•45 days ago

That she was voted back in was some kind of 😳 WTF

redelvisfan.bsky.social•44 days ago

The GOP. If it’s not profiting them in some way, whether the high from ridiculing the misfortunate or say, a few bucks from price gouging during a natural disaster, they just don’t care. Handicapped, marginalized, flooded, burned, hospitalized, invaded, bombed. So what?

canadianbacon66.bsky.social•44 days ago

It’s VS the world !!!!

nevereverquit2.bsky.social•45 days ago

MTG is such an ignorant blowhard. Yes, Europe, we DO care what you have to say!

brilog.bsky.social•44 days ago

Is their goal to lose all our allies?

sweetooth1.bsky.social•45 days ago

& THAT Mace follows right in dumbass, MTG's footsteps -all about diversion, false outrage & conflict to fund raise! Crockett is direct & a spitfire -You go, girl! 'Child' was like saying, 'Bro'. LOL... HowTF do people send these combative destructive people money! https://youtu.be/WBg_t7ZFsLo?si=qQHN7FlC7JA6b1CH

Dumb as a post. She forgot about Britain and Germany. Oh France and Poland etc.

That was the Athenian argument for appropriating the treasury of the Delian League, it didn't serve them well.

sandmanneke.bsky.social•44 days ago

And we don't care what she has to say

adamantiumant.bsky.social•45 days ago

Why will no one come out and say the name PUTIN every time something like this comes up? NATO, EU, Greenland, Canada, Panama...everything about these subjects coming out of US politicians mouths is direct from Vlad.

dogsneeze.bsky.social•44 days ago

I was gonna say something like this is really EU vs Russia care of USA.

I gave up and stopped making a distinction between Maga and Russia at Alexander Smirnov, but obviously it.... Ughhhh, goes deeper.

dogsneeze.bsky.social•44 days ago

Btw one of the great moves of whoever is "doing" all of this is to make anything that sounds like a conspiracy theory the words of a Q type crazy person, unless you say "ah but it doesn't really matter, it's all academic" and de-fang your own argument to not seem crazy.

These people hate any regulations that protect people from filth, whether air/water pollution, poor quality food, social media disinformation etc.

To be clear, the 'we' is the MAGA cult.
The 'they' is everyone else.

Stated like a true malevolent narcissist/authoritarian. 🙁

learoydon.bsky.social•44 days ago

I'm just reading Kafka's Amerika. He'd never been there but somehow got the cruel ruthlessness spot on. The Czech movie inspired by the book portrays America as an industrial proto-fascist place of shadows. Well, it's all really coming together now, isn't it?

merisi-vienna.bsky.social•44 days ago

I was staying in NYC when I read Kafka's Amerika. It is astounding how well he imagined the city. Some passages also read like a slapstick comedy.

overit1971.bsky.social•45 days ago

This makes me teary. My grandparents were immigrants from Europe during famines and unrest. Hard to see myself in this new world order being created by southern racists and rich people.

suncloudswe.bsky.social•44 days ago

Absolutely. And Europeans must stand our ground agaimst Technofeudalism or lose our democracy.

mysteryshopper.bsky.social•44 days ago

I'm putting the odds of a global calling his bluff at above zero.

alaningr.bsky.social•44 days ago

I really don't care what she has to say. And any EU leader who gets intimidated by this kind of talk will lose his or her job in five minutes flat.

sonofirving.bsky.social•44 days ago

I like how Weather-controll bimbo thinks the US provides all of Europe's defense. I think it would be a good idea for Europe to go ahead and beat the shit outta Putin. What's prolly holding them back is Biden's hope that diplomacy could work. Trumposhenko may just be the urging Europe needs.

seariverer.bsky.social•45 days ago

Really, really.. why are they attacking democracies
Why not complain why fb is blocked in China?

massdisillusion.bsky.social•45 days ago

moron-ism.

alter-idem.bsky.social•44 days ago

How has it come to pass that we have so many people of such low moral standing as MTG?

helloweepy.bsky.social•44 days ago

And low intelligence? Seriously, at least half of the GOP would be out-debated by a pile of orangutan vomit.

atruenorthview.bsky.social•45 days ago

Someone take her on a tour of all the graves & to meet all the families of all the allied soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan when they went to war for their ally when the US was attacked.

She is also a national embarrassment.

haukainga.bsky.social•45 days ago

Certainly explains why citizens of the USA can’t have nice things.

noholyscripture.bsky.social•45 days ago

The invective, the lack of civility, and even the depravity of quite a few American politicians (& particularly those of the MAGA kind) is increasing by the hour.

European politicians are no angels, but they are a far cry from the many foul-mouthed, slanderous Republicans.

harmless-de.bsky.social•45 days ago

The feeling's mutual. We don't really care what Traitor Greene has to say either.

spen01.bsky.social•45 days ago

You can hear the “tap, tap, tap” of a wedge slowly being created between allies.

barrygnash.bsky.social•45 days ago

Empty gee is such a tool.

businesspikachu.bsky.social•45 days ago

EU should absolutely declare a war on US tech. Either force them to adopt open protocols to take away their network effects, or just straight up fund alternatives and ban them in EU.

level90.bsky.social•45 days ago

This moron is basically advocating a ‘protection money’ form of defence assistance.

thepopper.bsky.social•44 days ago

That's been Trump's bag since 2017 as well.

snoad44.bsky.social•45 days ago

We cal this a weather vane. Opportunistic?

sal-m.bsky.social•44 days ago

We provide Europe's defense?
This woman is an elected representative, who is only one of the hundreds of stupid representatives we have right now. We are a dumb society, so we have elected dumb people.
The product: Trump and Musk Billionaire bros takeover.

cordella913.bsky.social•44 days ago

Since you Americans loose your Shit over this Word. She’s a CUNT

As the Russians and Chinese rub their hands with glee.

mazinger123.bsky.social•45 days ago

American troops cost too much on the European tax payer and only bring fights at the bars or rape of underage girls. Better served with an European Army and invest more in our tech and regulate American access to European tech. Meta wants entry into EU market, Meta abides by EU market regulations.

Interesting take on providing defence to the EU when Trump threatens to invade some of its sovereign territory.

testeria.bsky.social•45 days ago

Extortion money.

rudelyvangelder.bsky.social•45 days ago

I look forward to her being banned entry into the EU at some point.

“You folks are ok, but she’ll have to stay on the plane. Take it or leave it - we really don’t care what you have to say."

lovemesomecandy.bsky.social•45 days ago

Wait…does she actually travel outside of the bubble of her mind?

rudelyvangelder.bsky.social•45 days ago

I figure she’ll wanna go on as many codels as she can to make up for getting banned from committees by Pelosi, et al back in the day.

jamesstaal.bsky.social•45 days ago

What countries in Europe has Marjorie Traitor Greene been to?

sferrara.bsky.social•45 days ago

What a great attitude for strengthening an alliance . . .

stronginthearm.bsky.social•45 days ago

Will they care about what we say when they don’t provide our defense? I’m confused.

Dear Mdm,
it did not need a magician to foresee: when everything become an "assault", nothing is and assault anymore.
Now you have a criminal at the White House.

vandivere.net•45 days ago

As a European citizen who used to be an American citizen, I expected to have some complex feelings about this. But nah, screw her.

MTG - your best example of a mindless whore

mensnl.bsky.social•45 days ago

Fuck maga Americans

samspade1941.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yet MTG seems to REALLY care what the Russians have to say.

Things that make you go "Hmmm."

givemespacetravel.bsky.social•44 days ago

There are several laughable statements in that post. I don't think the EU will back down on their request to treat users' privacy with respect. I dont think skanky social media companies threatening to pull out of Europe will bother them one bit.

chrisberridge.com•44 days ago

Bother us? We’d be delighted!

It is sometimes said that we get the government we deserve. I’d like very much to know what we did to deserve that cretin.

Who is “we”? I don’t think I’ll give her a your, when she’s in Amsterdam🥹

lindagoza.bsky.social•45 days ago

IMO I agree with EU actions towards social media. We need better regulations too.

lovemesomecandy.bsky.social•45 days ago

Absolutely….but corporate money and power will ensure that social media has no guide rails here. The “ we must let people say whatever they want” policy does not bode well for civility….twitter anyone?

lindagoza.bsky.social•45 days ago

We Can't Handle the Whatever they want - our society has been given the right of free speech and abuse it against each other on social media. Abuse one would NOT do person to person usually
- when It was created - it was to PROTECT US from the Government and retributions! Today Gov. attacks people!

fnix.link•45 days ago

This may be a good moment to brush up on Chomsky. Gunboat diplomacy is what US hegemony has meant for most of the world; the blinders are now just coming off.

Yay for EU regulators, we need more protections here in the US from corporations like META. Americans don't realize how little our laws force companies to address the public good.

MTG is a tool, idiot, and is a travesty she was even elected it just shows how bad off Georgia really is if she is the best they have to offer. Georgia could fall off into the ocean to make some nice real estate further in.
