Safe to say the petition was a success! Now we will have to wait and see the EU's response to it.
It would be more effective to get a quarter of 1.4 million people organized with united demands and on the streets of Brussels with the actual risk of projecting threat violence on EU bureaucrats, then StopKillingGames or any petition or demand would have a much better chance of passing. At that point you wouldn't even need collect any names before hand :) All the voting, all the petitions all the representation only exists to act as an filter and push the little people people and their little people idea's far away from actual power as possible.
I'll be positively surprised if this passes, but I really really really doubt it. Too much money at stake here just for the sake of having some pro consumer common sense.
The EU has gotten us pro consumer common sense a number of times already, like with iPhones and the GDPR.
There is no way that you believe people showing up in streets would do anything lol
That's what the powerful hope we do. It's the most useless action possible. It's like trying to boil water by breathing hot air on it. You'll get tired way before you get any boiling.
You literally couldn't be more wrong
Yea whose the president?
We've had more protests in the past 10 years than any other time. None of them have accomplished much of anything.
You'd be lying to say otherwise. I'm sure you'll try to find some policy or law that was implemented that nobody listens to as proof of action.
You can't tell me there's a global protest like George Floyd or no Kings and the result was what?? What the fuck did any of it accomplish. Insanity to continue with the idea that protests are doing anything other than given the opportunity to arrest thought leaders and kick in the heads of everything else.
You're literally throwing bodies against an armed and trained force that watches you all protest like referees at a hockey game before they come in and break it all up. I've watched countless protests where the protesters are herded like cattle into pens before getting busted up. There's no way you can tell me honestly that the authorities aren't in love with the idea of you all showing up against their armed and trained forces. The left is doomed. It's not just the Democrats who do these performative actions with no results. It's all of the left.
