deAmericanise.eu is currently in its early stages, aiming to gather contributions and provide relevant resources for those wishing to free themselves from the stranglehold of the United States and the influence of its hyper-capitalist corporate and cultural monopoly.
We invite writers and readers to join us in exploring practical solutions that foster independence, privacy, and diversity.
By building a community focused on self-reliance, we hope to strengthen local economies and autonomous systems across Europe.
The European path
Dedicated to examining the path toward genuine European autonomy, our focus is on solutions that allow citizens to move beyond the overwhelming influence of the United States across culture, technology, and economics.
We believe in fostering independence and diversity by strengthening local communities and building self-reliant systems.
The six pillars
To achieve the above, we explore six essential areas:
Rediscover Cultural Identity
Articles exploring traditions, heritage, language, and the preservation of cultural roots in a globalised world.
Strengthen the European Economy
Strategies to reduce dependence on USA’s corporate dominance, and economic coercion, while fostering self-sufficiency and resilient economic models.
Achieve Digital Sovereignty
Texts on data ownership, independent digital infrastructure, open-source tools, and freedom from big tech control.
Ensure Financial Autonomy
Content about alternative finance systems, decentralised finance, mutual credit, and financial self-reliance for a world were Europe is a role-model.
Develop Strategic Autonomy
Articles on long-term planning, resilience, and military self-sufficiency strategies.
Reassert Territorial Sovereignty
Explorations of land rights, border integrity, resource management, and the defence of geographic and ecological boundaries.
