    You just discovered Marxists’ way of writing. If they concerned themselves with specific contexts rather than general rules, we would have Communism by now. Instead we have a lot of analysis.

    Jokes aside, I think this article should be framed as a response to the recent European discourse (and piles of money) about ditching US infrastructure, which is generating several articles like this one.

      The EU discourse about “digital sovereignty” is a joke. We are the most dependent in the entire world on US digital services. For the EU it’s not about digital sovereignty at all, it’s about digital control and surveillance. The EU countries are satrapies of the US empire. When Brussels speaks of “sovereignty” it means the exact opposite, it means depriving individual countries of their sovereignty.

        yeah, and now they understood it’s an existential threat and they are moving away. Real money is pouring to switch as fast as possible. Not saying it’s good or done properly or serving the people of Europe, but the politicians have finally began to freak out about this stuff, also because it’s a lot of money to be made.
