While I agree that Europe needs its own companies I don't think turning allies into enemies is a good idea.

Internet forums != reality.
You can elect a super duper problem solver like Orban, or Geert Wilders. It is up the electorate. There will be no civil war.
The other side will be sad, maybe some protests, that is all.
Poland just switched polarity as much as possible... no "civil war" occurred and people were actually pretty polarized... but nothing bad happened.
Who is talking about the internet?
Also Poland is probably the last country that would have an internet conflict in the next decades.
I can somewhat imagine this happening in the USA after Jan 6th set the example of modern political violence in the USA.
But regarding Europe, I see more right-wing politicians getting elected more often in some EU countries as a response to allowing extra immigration from the war in Syria. In Poland as a counter-example, it went the other way. However, all of these political shifts were non-violent.
"Civil war" is politics via violence. Please give me a scenario as to how you see that happening in specific countries in the EU.
A scenario? Look at how are things.
- Economy is not getting better for everybody. Affordable housing doesn't exist anymore. Owning a car is becoming more and more expensive due the price increases and taxes while also paying other taxes to subsidy rich people buying expensive EV.
- Public services like healthcare are becoming a nightmare everywhere in Europe. COVID changed everything. If you are sick you better have a private insurance or you'll have to wait months for anything. I had to wait 8 months for a 5 min call to tell me the result of some tests. Thankfully it doesn't look like anything serious but that's not the case for everybody.
- Other services are worse. Having to pay money to do some paperwork reminds me of the corruption in Eastern Europe after the fall of the communism.
- We're already exporting terrorist to fight in foreign countries
- You can see even in HN people talking about moving cities because they are unsafe
- Russia is at war with us, fighting the long war, waiting for any chance to destabilize us. Meanwhile a huge part of the US population supports Russia and wants nothing to do with the EU.
- Dumb policies that come from the EU that restrict speech, therefore freedom, only to keep some bureaucrats happy.
- More friction in politics than ever. The era of respectful debate and sharing of ideas is over. Now you have to be incendiary, be trending topic on twitter, point at your enemy (not rival anymore), threaten them and create more friction than ever.
Now, all this is only getting worse. There's no will to improve things because there's no acceptance of a problem. You say immigration must be regulated, you're a fascist. You say big corporations shouldn't be able to do certain things, you're a communist. We only scream at each other while things get worse. We're going at full speed with no brakes.
I think there's a bigger chance of a conflict in Europe than in the US. We only need a country to fuck up and drag everybody else.
Was the ~"EU is heading towards civil war" post made by the owner of X, community noted?
I realize that would be tough to fact check, but I've lived in the EU for the last 6 years and "civil war" is a take from another universe, and really felt like projection.
Was he suggesting that Orban & Co's politics is going to invade the rest of the EU, with violence?
Can someone explain to me what one of the most influential people on the planet meant by that?
I respect so much of what Musk has accomplished but that left me at a loss for words.
I don't think he's wrong, to be honest.
And, sadly, I know many people that think the same. Maybe not a civil war per se but we're heading towards many internal conflicts. And the more we wait to solve things, the worse it'll be.

Maybe a silly question, but how can I find this “Python 3” game? Googling just shows tutorials on making a game in Python 3. Searching “Python 3” on steam doesn’t turn up anything.
Edit:
Smh I genuinely thought there was a game named Python 3. I’m familiar with the language. Just sleepy.
He's talking about the programming language haha
It looks fancy but after using it for a while I can't really see what are the benefits of using it over something like tmux which is battle tested, fast, robust available everywhere, etc.
I only know laravel from skimming the docs, but I got the impression that there was not enough difference between it and Django to justify switching to a language you don't know,going either way.
That said... Does Laravel have something like Django's admin view?
I guess the equivalent would be Laravel Nova.
I usually hear this question the other way around but there it goes.
Why should someone consider Django instead of something like Symfony or Laravel?

Otoh we're now processing much more information than ever. We're also communicating more than ever too.
Processing or ingesting? We're being bombarded with information and we're not capable of digesting it all.
Same with goes with communication. We're probably thousands of km away from each other and we can communicate but we can't bond, that why people are more lonely than ever.
