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.
That's just dependency dressed up.
