The Enshittification of American Power : boycottus@lemmy.ca

But as difficult and expensive as it will be for US allies to escape the enshittification of American power—it will be much harder for Americans to do so, as that power is increasingly turned against them.

So, in other words, the victims are the people - regardless if they're in Europe or the Americas.

It almost seems as if it's the people versus the broligarchs. Or the oligarchy, for that matter.

No in USA it's the people, in Europe it's the people AND the governments.
Huge difference, that is caused by USA failing at democracy.

In Europe the threat is to both the people and to the countries as a whole, as USA threatens to close off services for political leverage!

The US government is using the IT infrastructure Europe has build an dependency on against European countries.
The dependency was built on the trust that USA was a country build on respect for the law and democracy, this is evidently no longer true. Meaning the situation has changed dramatically.

In USA USA is in danger from itself more than anything outside USA, in Europe large parts of our infrastructure is in danger from USA, because USA is failing democracy and the rule of law.

This threat has already been enacted in reality, showing the US government is not beyond using such shenanigans:

Obviously the US government isn't threatened by the US government.
