Every day we get closer to an Orwellian society. The United Kingdom may already be one.

German EU politicians are also pushing the chat control BS, it seems like it is only a matter of time until these psychos slip these invasive laws through.

    I'm noticing a pattern on Lemmy for every time someone makes a general criticism of the EU, the West (tm), Europe etc there's someone in the comments specifically mentioning how Germany is good, actually, regardless of whether Germany was explicitly mentioned or whether it's actually true that Germany is better than other places in the topic at hand. In all likelihood it's just that there's more Germans on Lemmy than people from smaller countries, but it's starting to feel like some weird out of place patriotism is on the rise or something.

    Oh no, not again... I'll go ahead and paint my Danish flag white in preperation of what's to come.

    There are also German EU politicians pushing against it. It's not like there is a German consensus to it.

    I didn't say there was German consensus, but the fact that politicians in almost all member states are either pro or considering it is frightening.
