I don't think there is some grand conspiracy or anything like that in the EU government around this, but it is clear where their priorities are. With those priorities being: 1. Perpetual rule of bureaucracy that exists for the sake of bureaucracy, with the best outcome of it being creation of even more bureaucracy. Anything of actual usefulness being done is just a side effect, not the goal. Bonus: this principle ensures perpetual job security for those career bureaucrats as well (and it helps with creating even more of them), as you can never have one too many committees or processes. 2. Hyperfocus on things that actually need to get done to consolidate power needed to ensure staying power for those bureaucrats and that the previous priority is not encroached upon. Case in point: an HN post[0] from yesterday about the EU pushing forward another new Chat Control proposal, shortly after their previous one failed earlier this year. For the EU governing bodies being stereotyped as ineffectual and too bogged down by their own bureaucracy, they surely are really efficient when it comes to repeatedly pushing publicly unpopular (but seemingly popular among the EU government bureaucrats) measures like Chat Control so quickly after their previous attempt had failed. | ||
