I said this before, but will say it again: Trump is pure evil, but he is having positive (unintended) consequences. One of them will be is the migration he is triggering away from Big Tech.

Away from AMERICAN big tech

Well, I'm a FOSS supporter but, given the current situation, I would be happy if we had European big tech.

It seems that when countries try to go away from microsoft, the USA ambassador comes to you to make threats.

So it's not so easy, although yes, of course it's better to avoid depending on an hostile and powerful nation.

competition is always good.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Europe is likely to get in as many civil society and foreign aid funding cuts as they can while Trump is in office. It's Trump all the way down.

Trump is teaching the world a lesson that they will remember in their bones.

Everyone is either pure good or pure evil now, huh? Red team or blue team, compromise is anathema, the centre a desert.

FWIW I’m no fan of Trump, but I’m even less of a fan of this bipolar tribalism.

You are for or against fascism. The bipolar tribalism is in the viewpoint, there are tons of political groups out there that are not fascist, saying that Trump is pure evil doesn't exclude being open to multiple alternative and having various aligments with thoses.

Nope, nobody claimed that everyone is pure good or pure evil. The claim was just about Trump.

There's been plenty Republican presidents who did evil things and mixed it up with acceptable or even positive change. Trump is the first one who's actually an evil fascist at heart. That's the difference.

I'm not an American and could not care about your petty rat races.
