You really need to leave your politics at the door. Your post explaining your situation bought you some leeway, but it’s not carte blanche to invoke politics, religion, etc. over and over again.

Not liking "woke" shite is pretty universal. Nice attempt to hide behind "No politics or religion" - "woke" is universally dismissed and mocked, it's SO dumb, it's laughed at hard by any sane person. I am not talking politics - "woke" is a joke.

No, you are definitely "talking politics".
Many people think the term "woke" is stupid, but support various good ideas which are mislabelled as "woke" by those who oppose them.
It seems that "woke" has become one of the all-purpose swearwords which are used by a certain demographic to smear anything they don't agree with.

Okay. I’ll leave it then. Deflecting and misdirection aside, a certain person KNOWS they are deliberately provocative and that it’s targeted; that’s been done a few times and in a serial manner, not just an unintentional one off. I can be pretty grumpy, but I do hope I’m not so immature and dumb to DIRECTLY, clumsily fire ad-hom attacks to complete strangers. I do rant a bit and ain’t proud of that at all, but direct targeted personal snippiness and clumsy “insults” were hopefully left behind at childhood. I can’t speak for others.
I don’t expect to be defended when I am grumpy, unfair or unnecessarily cynical, and personal character attacks (no matter how silly) should ALL be handled with equal justice and fairness. If EQUAL and consistent rules aren’t seen to be uniformly adhered to, we see a rather lopsided, inconsistent “community”.
Were this real life, I can’t help but imagine there’d be a fair percentage of sudden, MIRACULOUS silence from those “keyboard warriors” who so confidently (insecurely) dish out cocky insults online. I think there’d be a great deal of improvement to society if the face to face nature was somehow able to be brought back more; the potential for a real world smack in the face tends to somewhat tone down the bravado 😂😂🤦♂️

What does any of that have to do with the issue that YOU keep bringing up religion and politics over and over, in obvious and deliberate violation of the rules?

Precisely this.

Back on topic: I don't get why an engineering-centric audience of basically technophile, smart people I'd expect here bite on such headline.
The EU doesn't ban 8K TVs. The EU just bans energy hungry TVs. And that's IMHO just a consequent thing to do. All EU countries (essentially more or less all - reasonable - states on earth) have signed the Paris Climate Agreement. Thus, they basically have agreed to reduce CO₂ emissions.
Consequently, if this agreement is supposed to be more than just an empty promise, states have to work on CO₂ reduction. At least as long as most of electrical energy on earth is generated from fossil fuels, it's just consequent to work on reducing (or - at least - avoidance of increase) electrical energy consumption. If you don't agree with that, you should probably rather argue with your government (that's the guys you were voting for) about taking part in the agreement instead of complaining about their attempts trying to comply with it.
From a pure engineering standpoint, IMHO the 8K energy issue should rather been seen as an engineering challenge than a consumer confinement?
The entertainment electronics industry needs to go through basically the same transformation than the automotive industry. Some may fail, some may try to cheat and get caught, others might just succeed (to my understanding, at least Samsung already indicated that it might be entirely possible to meet the EU regulations).

I think the argument is that it might be an effective ban on hi-res screens. Kind of like not actually banning motorcars but if you make the fuel unavailable it's an effective ban. Wouldn't be the first time something has been shafted indirectly like that when the political fallout of hitting it directly would be too much to bear. (But please note I am not saying this is like that, just elaborating a viewpoint.)
