    Don’t kid yourself like most “Classical Liberals”. Europe, Canada, and Australia are nearly as compromised by a fascist oligarchy. Their politicians are just better at virtue signaling because the populations are more educated and pro socialistic-programs.

    Why do you think all Western “democracies” still support Israel despite a significant majority of their populations opposing Israel?

    Why do you think all our secret police are continuing to implement mass surveillance and embed fascist tech into the fabric of our societies (Palantir, NSO Group, etc)?

      The fact Australia on its own passed a fascist law on totalitarian control on the premise of “child protection” (which also includes teenagers) should be quite evident that it isnt a friendly.

        Nah those billionaires come from all over and buy land all over. Why does new zealand allow so many of those billionaires in, then? So many of these people aren’t American! They just come here like foreign invaders to sell us fake fucking news and “space ships” while they steal our elections!

        “tech meddling” is an aggressive minimization that makes it sound innocent. The vast majority of the political class on earth have been pre-financed and pre-selected by the wealthiest criminals, rapists, pedophiles and thieves of society — promoted through their media — and their actions reflect the interests of that minority. The baseline is corrupt, and does not give a shit about “democracy”; only wealth and power.

        Again, why the support for Israel against “the will of the people”? Why continue using American or Israeli tech companies despite direct threats to your “stated” personal and national values? To your democracy and sovereignty? Why even entertain backdoors that weaken national and domestic security like chat control? Why continue using closed foreign platforms owned by fascists?

        How would you feel if Nazi Germany had a tracking device in your pocket, car, workplace? Every high traffic public place? In your own home pet cams and doorbell? In all of your transport options, public or private? Monitoring all your financial transactions, emails, and communications? and your government requires you to buy nazi tech for you to use basic government services and simply live your day to day life? Your government stores all of your data in nazi data centers?

        If you understand history at all, you should understand that what the majority consider acceptable is currently at a mentally-ill level of ignorance and indoctrination.

          You’re barking up the wrong tree. Have a look at my comment history if you will. What I am saying is that cutting Europe off from Magastan-based services is a net good, because the corruption in our system originates in large parts from - as you say yourself - the wealthiest criminals etc - most of which are acting via Magastan corporations.
