Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

Rules:

1. No Bigotry or Hate SpeechAny forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.

2. No ZionismAny forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.

3. Stay CivilPlease maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.

4. No MisinformationSpreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.

Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.

5. No AI ContentPlease do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.


Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

It's indeed a "marriage of convenience": How the European Far Right and Far Left Converged on China, raising concerns about foreign influence.

The study on extreme political parties in the European Parliament published in April 2024 by the Association for International Affairs (AMO) revealed that on human rights, the far right often downplays the significance of China’s violations. Some concede these issues exist but argue that Europe should prioritize its economic and strategic interests. Moreover, far-right parties often echo Beijing’s rhetoric on sovereignty, supporting China’s demands for unchecked control in regions like Hong Kong and Xinjiang. This alignment reflects their nationalist ideologies, emphasizing non-interference and sovereignty over interventionist policies.

The German press agency dpa writes:

[Far-right lawmaker Maximilian] Krah, a controversial figure even within his own party, faces a separate investigation over accusations of bribery by China and money laundering related to his time in the European Parliament.

I'm not saying this is what happens, but It'd surely be funny if both parties used "spying for China" or "spying for the US", to have a way of arresting their political enemies and also further pushing an agenda

Not saying that that's the case, but that'd be impressive

now do the USA, fuckin Republican scum
