It's a struggle to find good comparisons, after all what could ever compare to some people's ability to act like complete fools? Luckily I think you can just allude to them and most will know exactly what you're talking about, because we've all had to deal with them at one point or another.

Hey, don't insult bricks like that! At least their intelligence can't be negative like some people on the internet!

That sounds like a plan to me.

Many EU leaders like to pretend things are just fine when they're not because it's easier than dealing with the problem. We got lulled into a false sense of security the past few decades and being woken up so rudely seems to be difficult for our lazy asses.

He probably did, but right now all that matters is putting out all the international fires the US is starting, or at least preparing to survive them.

Unilever is English/Dutch so I don't think they're a concern.

There's Chips from companies like intel and Software like Windows from Microsoft and Mac from Apple. Then there's digital infrastructure like Amazon and social media, or even credit cards can come from the US.

It's also not just buying software that supports the US but using it can too, because they can use their data for advertising and other goals. So you should move to open source alternatives for software that Europe doesn't have any good alternative for (eg. Linux instead of Windows) or find a European alternative.

That's true, but first we need to reach enough people to get the movement going. In the meantime they should just turn on their adblockers.
