    Why is it basically only the EU that seems to have an interest in preventing shitty business practices.

      Because the US is controlled by corporations

      Asia for the most part doesn’t care

      Australia is run by right wing nut jobs

      New Zealand is quiet so they probably do do something like this but we haven’t heard about it.

      Japan is Japan. Civil rights isn’t really a thing.

      And China and Russia love invasion of privacy it’s basically the entire basis of their countries.

          I am generally curious what you mean by centrist nut jobs? The whole point of the centre is to be somewhere in the middle and therefore the best of both worlds that everyone has something in common with as far as I’m concerned

            There is no “best of both worlds” when one side wants you to be a fucking slave. Wake up, dummy.

                “Best of both worlds” doesn’t literally mean expressing everything on a numeric scale and averaging it out.

                  No, we know.

                  What’s the best that should we take from the far right?

                  It’s an ideological desert over there once you look past the race supremacy, inevitable oligarchy and people dying if they don’t spend enough of their time struggling to survive. It’s literally just psychopathic power grabbing when you really distill it down.

                  If any of that sounds good to you, I’m not interested in the world you want.

                  Support for centrism is either complete political ignorance, or looking at that desert and thinking “I think we need some of that shit over here”
