Good job Europe! Moving boldly into a 21st century of open borders, individual responsibility, free choice and minimal government, one banned American troublemaker at a time.

If I wanted to read sweeping, content-free trollish comments like this I'd have stayed on Reddit.

If I wanted to read crypto-nationalist tone policing like that, I'd have stayed on Tumblr.

Hmm, which is it, do you disagree that aggressive legislation against Uber is unrelated to it being an American company? Do you believe that this legislation promotes openness, personal responsibility, free choice and minimal government? Or do you think that this isn't a largely pan-European phenomenon?

I'd be thrilled to hear exactly where you disagree and how you can defend your counterpropositions. It's much more interesting than name-calling.

Open borders: Far more open than any other region in the world.

Individual responsibility: I'm not shure what this atually means?

Free choice and minimal government: As bad/good as any other democracy.

Banning American troublemakers: They are not banned, but told to follow rules and regulations. Just like airbnb in NYC.

Let's just list "Europe" when Spain does something. Just like we all should think anything that happens in Alabama is descriptive of the whole of the United States.

I don't know what are you talking about, but if selling out to predatory foreign companies with openly questionable moral compasses and null respect for the local legislation is "the 21st century", I'd like my dear Europe to stay in the 20th, thank you very much.

What makes you think them being American matters? Has there been a trend of Spain banning American companies?

And what makes you think the Spanish goverment is trying to promote minimal goverments, etc.? I don't really follow politics, but I always thought that in most of the European democracies, socialism tends to be favored over capitalism.
