I can’t believe it wasn’t like that since the beginning.
How is it not one of the many distracting things they would ban immediately?

Doctor

There you go.
There isn’t even a series called ‘doctor’ except probably in German.
And I imagine you’re used to it since you don’t know better and have no reference.
There is no substitute for the original.

How can any reasonable person see some cowboy or a NY gangster’s lips move and then hear some German or French words spoken.
It’s completely ridiculous.
Not to mention the many things that are lost in translation and don’t work in that language.
Even the titles of the films are changed.
Now and then they show some of that on TV as a joke here in Belgium or NL.
It never stops being funny and you wonder how long these people will continue with this silly practice.
It’s also one of the reasons these countries speak poor Enlish in comparison.
You learn a lot from hours of hearing the actual language.
Now there’s less of a difference with the web, but still.

Dubbing is a crime

Yes the Soviets mostly traded with their sphere and they are/were probably the most autarkic state in the world but even at the height of the cold war, they kept trading with the US for example.
Business over politics.
The situation in Europe could get as bad as in the US and worse.
Plenty of countries where it’s difficult to keep the extreme right out of power.
I don’t see how it can be stopped.
The ‘sanctions’ that massively backfired are destroying our economy. We know what that led to in the 30’s.
And the insane governments and their media are determined to send the kids off to the eastern front again sice they have their scapegoat.
Could be that soon you may consider yourself in the better position where Europe is getting destroyed in full on war while you are far away.
Anyway, I wish us both good luck fir the bleak future.

Only one party is actively funded by our enemies

You don’t need to be in possession of anything to acknowledge the easily verifiable fact that they are both sponsored by them.

The USSR was not thoroughly embedded in the world economies.
Completely wrong.
Also we’re talking about Russia, not the USSR.
And they certainly did make radical changes almost overnight when forced.
My point is we need to untangle.
We are not ‘unscathed’ as it is now, on the contrary, we are suffering bcs of them.
The sooner we dump them the better.

“indentured servitude” is the euphemism they use.
Obviously the bestest democracy in the history of the entire universe doesn’t have slavery.

Your oligarchy sponsors both parties all the time.

It can happen pretty fast, look what Russia did with those sactions.
The EU, their neighbour, simply got replaced.
We can certainly do the same with the US.

Ah yes, every garbage YT ‘news’ that fits my Sinophobic narrative is true.
When is China’s economy going to crash? Any day now I hear.

that doesn’t apply.
It’s better to distance ourselves from them before we get caught in their dumpster fire and also get burned.

The EU is not as detached from global economics as you seem to believe it is

I never said that, but it needs to be done.
We need to cut ties before they drag us down further.
Our economy is already going to shit with the high energy prices caused by them blowing up Nordstream.
And that was under Genocide Joe.
I would rather have an incompetent moron in charge of the country seeing us as vasals since forever.
And if it’s up to them they will gladly see us all at war again like WW2.
Their competition destroying themselves while they benefit and sell arms.

Fuck that whole country

I hope our EU government get some sense and stop acting like the vasals they are.
This could be the push we need.
The US never were our friends and this ‘alliance’ is nothing more than being in their sphere of influence and serving their interests. Bcs they are losing power in the world they are now canibalising their own side.
Who said ‘there will be no more Nordstream’?
And then in a pure act of terror blew it up forcing us to buy 8x more expensive US fracking gas.
Not one peep from our sell-out leaders.
We needed to drop this horrible country long time ago, regardless of Trump.

Sure, believe some China bad YT channel.

If they slap an Apple logo on it the gullible sheep would buy it anyway.

As a European I fully support comrade Trump in his successful endeavor of destroying the imperialist and fascist US state.

Chinese phones are vastly superior to this ridiculous brand.

My point is: not for them

So a choice between money and ethics.
There is never any question which one companies choose.
Certainly not the one with a carreer in scumbaggery.
