  • I guess that makes sense but that seems so difficult to reach for a movement, can the meetings of EU leaders propose laws themselves or do they also have to get votes?

    In the US for something like StopKillingGames we have a local senior that we can call and yap to and (in theory) they’d listen to what their citizens have to say and start the process of making it a bill, when then would become a law after a couple rounds of approval and editing before being approved or vetoed by the president.
    There’s actually a children’s music video they played to all of us in school when we were young, it’s unironically a super good way to teach people about how it works, https://youtu.be/SZ8psP4S6BQ

    If you hear people in US politics say “call your senator” that’s who they’re calling, they have some power over bills that can be voted out I think.

    also, I’ll just add an asterisk to the whole paragraph as

    1. I’m not a lawyer, I just have a basic highschool education so far, I might be wrong

    2. the whole idea of a “justice system” and “laws” are kinda currently being thrown out the window?? i don’t really know what’s happening anymore.

    3. also presidents can propose bills or something and skip the senior section I think?

    anyways, it’s pretty interesting learning about how laws work over there. Seems so much more simple than ours :/


  • this sounds like the kinda thing that I (uneducated in this topic) would go “heh… yeah…” and upvote not understanding the joke

    then I open comments and it’s actually about tossing toddlers into a volcano and I am immediately sentenced with the guilt of upvoting a meme about child volcano sacrifice and I have to come to terms about how I am a horrible person who will blindly follow someones agenda because they were using big words and I am actually incredibly foolish and don’t deserve an opinion about anything ever

    or it’s just an extremely nerdy joke that nobody really understands but upvotes anyways
