The European Union just passed a directive requiring ESG mandates for European businesses.
ESG, of course, stands for environmental, social and governance standards. Or in the fine print — definite corporate action concerning climate change; social justice; and diversity, equity and inclusion.
Basically, it’s applied Marxism without all the goofy theories — tyranny with nuance, we could call it.
The EU Council approved what it called the “corporate sustainability due diligence directive” on Friday.
Under the new rules, companies “will have to take measures to prevent, identify and mitigate any adverse impact on human rights or the environment,” the council said on its website.
“Penalties and civil liability for violating those obligations will also be applicable,” it said.
Too bad for Europe’s big businesses, you might say.
No.
Too bad for Europe’s small businesses. And for big and small businesses outside of Europe, including the United States.
Companies doing a certain amount of business in the EU will automatically come under the directive.
And there’s more.
Your trash-hauling business in Peoria, Illinois, might be affected by the leftist bent of the European Union. Maybe your Denver accounting firm or Kansas City meat wholesaling company.

The US and China are competing to dominate the world and the EU nations will have to assume the position in the end to one or both.
Forget Europe, I’ll sell all my widgets to Russia. Ahh! Free Russia. That’s how capitalism works.
Our company exports to Europe, so this is concerning.
Will we get brownie points if I show up dressed like an insane tranny?
Surely that’s good for a little something.
This is fascism on the march.
That’s ridiculous. If Russia is so great, why are they trying to come here, and why do they have the highest suicide rate for a country anywhere near that size? Why don’t you move there?
Eurowussies go goose stepping arm in arm and lockstep afyer any Fuhrer or Fuhrers. You know, PUNKS LIKE JUAN MORESCAM.
hungary approved this??
Are we living in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged?????
and why do they have the highest suicide rate for a country anywhere near that size?
Life has been so good to them they don't want to be selfish and are willing to let someone else enjoy it also.
Why don’t you move there?
I'm too old. Even too old to serve in Vlads army.

The tyrant walls are closing in on the planet.
It won’t get better, unless the people rise up, but we won’t, until it’s too late.
Be prepared for the global tyrant state, because it IS coming in our lifetimes and on the near horizon, probably within the next three to six years or so, despite what the hopium smokers, like the Q thread cultists wish to proclaim.
Be smart.
Circle your wagons with likeminded individuals to support one another and endure until the end.
That’s right.
Where’s our Pinochet?!
Just like in Nazi Germany 🇩🇪.
Europe is useless.
Get out of NATO.
Make them fend for themselves.
“... why are they trying to come here, ..”
That’s seriously brain dead.
‘
Why is that brain dead? If Russia was better, they wouldn’t be eager to leave, would they?
The EU is the Fourth Reich and are a dangerous enemy of the US.
The EU must be destroyed. By any means necessary.
“The US and China are competing to dominate the world...”

If that’s the goal of either nation, then they both need to fail.
‘k, my bad. seemed the implication was that Russia was trying to come here.
OTOH how ridiculous to point out a distinction between Russian proposed ‘immigrants’ as in contrast to all other worldwide illegals taking advantage of the HusseinOsama/Bidementia open border transformation. Until now everywhere else sux . the Osama/WEF/EU goal is universal suxdom.
