Wow, your moral values suck.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

How does Macron justify this crap then?

The European Parliament has voted to approve new regulations that will place a European content quota on streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Once the new rules are formally approved, 30 percent of video-on-demand platform content catalogs will have to be European -- a move aimed at supporting "the cultural diversity of the European audiovisual sector." Additionally, these companies will be asked to support the development of European productions either through direct investment or by paying into national funds, contributions that should be "proportional to their on-demand revenues in that country."
These stupid content quotas are typical examples of French nationalism. They should be the last ones blaming others.

I'm sorry, criticizing anything the government deems un-criticizable is blasphemous and will be prosecuted. Expect to receive a court date where you will be pronounced guilty and punished for speaking out against the "morals" as defined by the government.

Be thankful our punishment isn't a bullet in the back of the head like Stalin used. ... ... ... YET.

Rest assured that any regulation alleged to crack down on or censor Netflix has been designed by Netflix.

They have a lot of customers in Europe. Customers consuming US content.

So then Netfilix and Amazon should tell Marcon to fuck off...then when Marcon bans them from the EU...Netflix and Amazon should run ads stating that they are discontinuing service because of Marcon...and see how long he lasts....

Doubtful on this one.

Maybe they're trying to set up roadblocks for competitors.....

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron used an address to world leaders gathered in Paris for Armistice commemorations on Sunday to send a stern message about the dangers of nationalism, calling it a betrayal of moral values.
With U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin sitting just a few feet away listening to the speech via translation earpieces, Macron denounced those who evoke nationalist sentiment to disadvantage others.

“Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism: nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism,” Macron said in a 20-minute address delivered from under the Arc de Triomphe to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One.

“By pursuing our own interests first, with no regard to others’, we erase the very thing that a nation holds most precious, that which gives it life and makes it great: its moral values.”

Wow... the stupid is strong...

If a nation can't think of itself first and protect itself against all others, it isn't a nation, it's a floor mat... just like France is now.

These globalists are truly amusing sometimes.

The left tried to indoctrinate me with that bullshit in government schools. Pretty early too. They actually taught that nationalism is bad, but patriotism is a good form of it. It's fucking ridiculous. This is why our societies are falling apart and headed towards civil war. Lots of NPCs out there indoctrinated in this way.

Probably half or more Americans believe that.

Now with the Internet we can see it in Europe too. Monty laughably argued that Britain was always multicultural and there are no indigenous Britons, but he thinks people like the Maori are indigenous to New Zealand. It would be hilarious if not so incredibly dangerous and genocidal.
