The European Union on Friday finalized a blockbuster free trade agreement with Brazil, Argentina and three other South American nations in the Mercosur trade alliance

Are they a secret or something? The amount of words used to say “and three other South American nations” could’ve just been used to say the names of those nations. Wtf kinda journalism is this.

For the curious, the other nations are Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

A top Romanian court has annulled the first round of the country’s presidential election, days after declassified intelligence alleged Russia ran a coordinated online campaign to promote the far-right outsider who won the first round.

The constitutional court’s decision – which is final – came on Friday after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence two days earlier that alleged Russia ran a sprawling campaign comprising thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms like TikTok and Telegram.

Despite being a huge outsider who declared zero campaign spending, Georgescu emerged as the frontrunner on 24 November. He was due to face the reformist Elena Lasconi, of the Save Romania Union party, in a runoff on Sunday.

More details soon …

Keyboard shortcuts mean memorising. Some people have issues with memory. On-screen buttons mean no memorising.

That’s the cool thing about Linux. You can customise it to your own needs and desires. Everybody is different.

We don’t fight back, though.

We trade with China.

We trade with Israel.

Until there was a full-scale invasion we traded with Russia despite 2014 - 2022.

Where there’s money to be made, ethics and morals are ignored. Just because we’re moderately better than them with regards to rights doesn’t mean we’re good. We’re just not as bad.

We are aligned with America, creating another giant power block. Another country that’s a cunt to people.

Human rights abuses are being documented all over Europe from Italian farms to UK detention and deportation of refugees.

The state of the world is depressing and appears to be on a downhill trajectory. There’s so many parallels to the rise of the Nazi party going on in multiple countries and so many people are oblivious to it. In their echo chambers of consumerism and “I’ve got mine”.

I think I’ve had enough Internet for the day

I’m so tired.

Why do we always descend into war?

Why do we have to group into 2 or 3 global power blocks repeatedly?

Why are people constantly cunts to each other?

I’ve had issues with deleting posts previously and just resorted to editing them to be useless instead.
