They're "just" motions, but hopefully this turns into a real thing. The Netherlands have been a little US enclave for years now and it's about time they freed themselves and looked around. Divest from the US.

Ahh... The entire western world is dependent on US tech companies, and the entire western world needs to divest from US tech and corporations. The brain rot is systemic, and spreading.
