I mean, if an EU citizen’s initiative to tax the rich cannot get a paltry 1 million signatures (less than one quarter of one percent of the population), I guess we really must deserve this bullshit system.

You still have five days, sign this ffs:

@aral Right, the one where you have to fully dox yourself, or sign by logging in to your country's online registration system that fully doxes yourself.
I wonder why there's not much more support logged in the system owned by the governments, controlled by the people with enough money to get elected / support candidates, that requires people to fully identify themselves to exactly that same system.
-
@dascandy Well you also have to fully dox yourself to vote in an election. It would be good to know, however, whether your signature is linked to you or, like a vote, used only for authentication.

1 month after the organisers submit the initiative to the Commission
21 months after the collection period starts.”https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/data-protection-guidance-question-16_en

@aral yeah. In a similar vein I reformulated #Enshittification as the extent to which we *allow* it to happen to us..

@aral
...or the message hasn't been made broadly visible enough to be well known.

@aral I assume since Germany already has 150% of the required votes, my vote won't make a difference anymore.
France is at 200%, Denmark at 100%.
It's the people in other countries who apparently don't care, or more likely don't know that this even exists.
Belgium is close with 90% but that's it.
Assuming that Belgium can still hit 100%, that would make 4 out of 7 countries which would be required for this to be even able to pass.
2 days to convince people of 3 more countries that this is important and have them hit the threshold, and 660.000 more votes in total.
I don't think it's going to happen.
