EU’s been told by many wiser heads than mine that it’s too obsessed with regulation—its insatiable fetish for power and control is WHY Europe is now performing so badly. This recent clip of 🇩🇪 Chancellor talking to Nvidia CEO shows they aren’t listening. We need a change of mindset at the heart of the EU blob, and this current political class seem incapable of acknowledging their limits and their failures. Gripped by hubris, they don’t see that they are the problem, or that the best solution for everyone but them is that they resign. Normally, the media would do their job and pressure our failing elite into facing up to their failings, and inevitable resignations would likely follow. But much of state-aligned media in Europe today has stopped holding power to account. Rather than question those with the fat salaries who are in control, they’ve turned around, and are now directing their scrutiny at the people. They now push establishment narratives, including classic authoritarian tropes like: the people voted “incorrectly”, or the advanced age and lack of education of some voters somehow makes their vote count for less, or the most popular one today: that voters can’t possibly be coming to these “incorrect” conclusions alone, and that a foreign enemy must be behind ALL the political discord at home today. So, elite incompetence is destroying Europe’s economy. Their hubris means they’ll blame anyone but them. The media is too closely aligned with power and its perks to do their job properly anymore. And now we reach the tragic final stage: the Russians/Chinese/Muslims did this to us. They must pay. You must now go to war.
