Meanwhile in the UK our government is strengthening ties to palintir. We always have to be the losers of Europe

You guys literally wrote the book on Orwellian governments.

[–] Krzd@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

Eh, Germany is currently doing the same, so we're both losing

Afaik France still has contracts with Palantir

No doubt, but this is a step in the right direction. If it works it proves the value of further breaking away from the US. While we still buy whatever they're selling, and provide support loading their bombs for their wars.

Hey at least you aren't getting natural gas from those guys. You know those extra super duper bad guys.

Hey. Thats not true. Youre just outside europe.

[–] locahosr443@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

The UK is obviously in Europe... They just pushed us out into the sea one night cos we're embarrassing.

[–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, technically y'all aren't part of Europe anymore...

[–] p4rzivalrp2@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah they are? Just not the eu
