Agreed. I hate how European communities (here on lemmy) ignore the rest of the world when boycotting the US. We could be uniting against it but I guess people prefer bolstering nationalism and domestic trade?
Because the problem is that EU is dependent on the US. Switching to be dependent on another state is not the goal. Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire is not the solution.
It’s not nationalistic for states to rely on internal products. And BTW, Europe is trying to go opensource. I’d rather have opensource than foreign closed source, regardless of whether it’s Pakistan, Australia, or Nigeria. And other states should also be going opensource, not just European ones.
Everyone should be dumping closed source - especially US closed source, surveillance-ware.
There’s world outside of US and Europe. Why is there any need to post this here?
You’re doing the same thing current US administration is doing. Global cooperation is the way to go.

Don’t be dependent on another state. Cooperate with all possible states.
Anyway, it’s not like Europe is going to make their own chips. They’re still reliant on Taiwan and China for something fundamental to current day.
That’s just dependency dressed up.
European Chips Act
The seeds are being planted.
Then do another thread?
Why? OP is the one cross posting from BuyEuropean community to PCgaming.
Why not?
To let everyone know how pricipaled they are. Gotta come in here to shit on America to get your badge!
Idgaf about Americans. They deserve to get shit on and then some.
I just don’t want to see states severing ties from each other.
