Political views are reactionary: if they're against you, then naturally and by no real choice of your own, you're against them.

So if anyone goes against you for your political views, they've made that decision long before you even knew they were against you.

oh yeah i've heard about it.

basically, people got pissed with cookie banners so much that they complained to the EU government about it.

the EU government said "well, if people don't like the choice to allow or deny cookies, i guess we'll un-do these regulations".

I think this is a very good example how people are always complaining, no matter what the government does.

If the government makes a law, a group of people complain. If the government later removes that same law that people kept whining about, another group of people complains. What to do?

Btw, another nice example is worldwide free trade. When it was introduced starting in the 1970s, people were very loud about the fact that they didn't like it because they feared competition from foreign markets, companies moving abroad (offshoring), and jobs at home being lost. That is largely exactly what happened (though free trade also had many positive sides like exchange of technology and culture). 50 years later, world governments (especially in the west) want to un-do free trade, and people complain again about it, citing a loss of free exchange of ideas as a reason. What to do.
