Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
🇪🇺 The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
🧀 The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
🏳️‍🌈 The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins 💶 And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream “only in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

That's such a fucking stretch... It's like saying whoever was the provider of satellite images has "participated in the US bombing" of X. Or, "the store owner participated in the killing of XYZ" because he sold someone the knife...

It’s like saying whoever was the provider of satellite images has “participated in the US bombing” of X

If you provide military intel on targets to a military who then strike them using said intel you are absolutely an accomplice.

“the store owner participated in the killing of XYZ” because he sold someone the knife…

More akin to the store owner killed XYZ by pointing them out to the crazed gunman looking for them.

If you provide intel on how to drive a car to a person who then drunkenly plows into a group of people, killing them, you are absolutely an accomplice.

No but if you provide them the alcohol knowing they plan to drive you are. You are a debate pervert. Tying yourself in knots to justify unjustifiable evil because you benefit from it.

Sweden didn't provide ammunition, equipment, or men. It provided knowledge. Your example is bad.

People like you are always hilarious. It's like "we will not take part in the alliance because there is a potential that maybe, who knows, some of the knowledge we shared might be used incorrectly".

Grow up. The world is not black and white, it's not simple, and people are not all-knowing.

NATO action and support has only ever been used for bad

Grow up. The world is not black and white, it’s not simple, and people are not all-knowing.

The world may not be black or white but that does not mean all good and bad is equivalent. The US is particularly egregious support for them since 1949 should be shameful and disencouraged where possible. The world would be net better if the US empire crumbled.

As we already established, you have no clue what NATO is or what it does

The world would be net better if the US empire crumbled.

No, because then the russian and Chinese empires would rear their heads. The world would be better off if ALL empires crumbled.

You are not a serious person. 🤣

Ah, the classic "west empire bad, east empire perfectly fine (ignore all the atrocities committed)". Like I already said: grow up.

Nice straw man. Debate pervert🤣 👉

Can't figure out any rebuttals already? That was faster than I expected!

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a straw man? There is no rebuttal because it's not a position I took? You are so funny 🤣
