I look at #Elon #Musk (whom I consider a bit of a lunatic, btw), he's bursting with optimism, talking about a great future, a century of progress, etc. Whether or not all of this will be realized in the #US is another matter. And then I look at this here. My God. By "this here" I mean the EU. I see #Ursula, #Macron, Cost, Borell, Bretton... I haven't heard a single sentence from their mouths in 10 years that was anything other than a platitude, like the ones uttered by comrades at the summits of socialist parties 40 years ago. One of the most incredible things about today's EU is that it has robbed its people of all #optimism and #faith in a better #future and that it forces so much shit down their throats that everyone except the mercenaries and the strongest believers is disgusted. I literally don't know anyone outside that circle of the Brussels oligarchy, the #Euro scumbags and their overt or covert mercenaries around who sees a beautiful future (yes, banking analysts, you're scumbags too).

#Inflation, #deindustrialization, #insecurity, wars, Taliban invasion, #corporatism, stifling of all freedoms, #tyranny of the "profession", committees... the list goes on. And they don't want to stop. And when their agitprop opens their mouths, they literally ooze disgust when they talk about ordinary people and their needs and wants. But don't be fooled by my pessimism, yesterday the #EU commission organized a conference on the green transition... Maybe everything will be ok after all.👍
