Next week: EU to ban web browsing, for security.

Seriously, why is the EU such an insane flipflop, going from one side of the political spectrum to the other in as little as a few hours sometimes?

because most news outlets just call it “The EU” or “the EU parliament” without specifying that tje EU has many institutions and political parties, which push their own agendas.

if you replaced every instance of both “republicans” and “democrats” with “the US government” you would get the same kind of impression.

Individual lawmakers have personal values and agendas. Humans are chaotic contradictions cloaked in a semblance of order.
