You don't get it - in north korea is brutal dictatorship that oppresses their citizens. EU commission is fighting hate, discrimination, racism and disinformation. And protecting the children too.

> EU commission is fighting hate, discrimination, racism and disinformation. And protecting the children too The ist and isms have been overused in both the media and social discourse to the point that they don't really mean anything anymore.

  They still mean something in serious discussions. If you find that media use seems to dilute the meaning of a term so as to be uselessly vague, consider the likelihood that it is intentional. (Very high, IMO.) The critical-thinking-not-allowed topics are especially interesting to pay attention to: who is served by devaluing the term?

Their greatest achievement is that enough people actually believe that.

  Where is the fun in that. And in a way a lot of the EU elite will sign under this statement with a straight face.

You forgot "Freedom of speech" as well but only the speech that is allowed otherwise you end up with the cops at your doorstep like in the UK when you post the wrong thing on social media.

I think this is too serious issue to make such jokes. Sadly this is their actual stance, and this is why everyone who opposes EU's overreaching policies are labeled as 'right-wing extremists'. In Germany they go as far as to try to ban these parties. It's an absurd repeat of history. Such a law would in effect silence the voices who opposed the law, making way for even more totalitarian laws. The situation in EU is incredibly sad and I'm not sure if it's possible to fight this.
