Brussels Unveils $170 Billion Plan To Boost EU Defense Capabilities

Maybe, but I haven’t read this stuff a couple years ago and media seems more right wing now than ever, I actually don’t even want to be right here so I hope I’m just panicking

Not a dude and uhh are you unpleasant.

I think I know what you're trying to say, i.e. it supports the narratives like "faraway bureaucrats are interfering with *my* life?" but I still think you're going too far there with your accusation.

i mean, most media coming out of the anglosphere is right-wing to some degree these days. maybe you associate metonymy with fascism due to that?

i don’t think “whatever that word is I just mentioned” is *fascist rhetoric*, however. lmfao. next you’re going to try and tell me using pronouns is a leftist calling card.

yeah fascist co-opt language all the time, this isn’t that tho dude. redirect your energy towards something real and effectual, not merriam-webster. you won’t gain any ground here.

In the case of Brussels, it's just extremely bad; it could mean "Belgium", "NATO" or "EU".

I don’t think you get it. Calling the EU "Brussels“ is something right wing media loves to do and it’s not a simple whatever that word is you just mentioned, it’s being used as part of a disintegration campaign against the EU.

There are many things wrong with the EU but that’s another discussion, I won’t ever stop comparing about fascist rhetoric being spread.

no?

metonymy is a feature of the english language.

if it really bothers you that much then stop consuming english language news/media. i don’t mean that in a rude way but like, this isn’t a weird fad or something that the news is deciding to do… it is how we speak

Can we just fucking stop calling the EU "Brussels"?

They need to be spending like they might have to face the US, Russia, and China at the same time.
