There is: stop electing the people that make these decisions in positions that can land them in the EU Council.

Your vote alone doesn't change anything.

Yet, you should still vote.

Well, no. "Socialism has evolved" is nonsensical. Socialism has a definition so either that's what you want or that's not what you want... Socialism has disappeared from government and from what most "socialist parties" actually seek, which is in fact social democracy. There are still parties that seek socialism, or groups within parties that overall do not.

> Socialism has a definition so either that's what you want or that's not what you want So when you go to a movie theater, it's not a movie theater because by definition it is an analog movie being projected in black and white without sound? How could this new digital thing with colors and sound ever be compared to the original movie theater? That's nonsensical. Movie theaters have disappeared decades ago, right? I k…

No, what you're saying is that a circle has "evolved" into a square but it's it's fine to still call it a circle. Of course it isn't.

Again, it seems obvious you do not understand what socialism vs capitalism means, as explained before and for the reasons explained before, as your latest comment is not apt at all and besides the point. I would nicely suggest you have a good read at the Wikipedia pages in English, which look less manipulated that the ones in French (more scrutiny?), or even Marxist stuff if you are up to. Enjoy!

I should do whatever I find useful. Voting for unknown electorate funded by involuntary collected money it is not.

That will never fly in every Linux distribution (if any at all), so there’s never going to be a way to stop this for even reasonably proficient criminals.

NSA already considers and flags Linux users as "extremists", so it was only a question of time before agencies in EU would do the same

From a compliance perspective, TPM/signed bootloaders might be a "solution" against illegal Linux distributions.

> it makes driving more dangerous now, as you need two hands to drink from a water bottle. What? That is absurd, you don't need two hands just because the lid remains attached.

The lid scratches your nose or eye so you need to use the second hand to hold the lid

(or one of the five fingers of the first hand)

Why is "migrants bad" with zero nuance extremist?

Welcoming all migrants can work in countries with no social net like US in their biggest boom. Come and work. EU countries are stretched and more and more people with low to no skills are gonna be really hard on the budgets. They cant even guarantee to pay people born there nice retirement in 30 years.

Are you under the impression that anyone can just come into an EU country and start receiving aid?

There are programs to help asylum seekers (people literally running for their lives) settle in, but there are lots of criteria to fill to be able to claim that, and it takes weeks to years of processing to validate your claims you're indeed running for your life and there's an actual risk for your life.

I understand that. But the migrants also need housing and food while they wait. I am absolutely for some kind of immigration. But not for "everybody that comes here will stay". And absolutely for trying to engage people into european society. Fundamental islam is a real thing. Second generation of immigrants is getting radicalizes and european union needs to do something with it. And if somebody accuses me on hating islam, i dont like all religions the same.

Turns out I studied Marx ;-).

My turn, now: it seems obvious that you do not understand how languages work.

This is not language this is an economical and political theory...

How do EU rules not influence the countries which are member states?

I would certainly hope they do, it'd be entirely pointless if it didn't. Doesn't change that it's not a country.

Practically, it may as well be.

Common military in practice, common currency, common laws, common courts and highest authority, common passport rules, etc.
