You don't need banners just because something is third-party. If there is no PII and/or legitimate consent, you don't need a banner. There are GDPR compliant analytics platforms, fraud prevention, third-party payment gateways, for example. They don't need banners.

As for the rest, it's quite inflammatory and I don't know how it relates to my comment, so I'll refrain from answering.

You don’t need banners period. The EU doesn’t get to tell people how to operate their web properties. If EU citizens don’t like it, they can stop visiting those properties. Even simpler.

Well, except for all the people in the eu. I'm pretty sure the eu does get to tell those people to do or not do things, online or not.
