This thread is like Monty Python’s “Life of Brian”. Half the people here are the People’s Front of Judea and the other half are the Judean People’s Front.
Or better yet, we’re like the Maya Pei Brigade arc from the first few episodes of season two of Star Wars Andor.
Trump, Stephen Miller, Meloni, Orban, Farage, Weidel, Le Pen and the rest love watching us fight each other. It’s one of their most effective tactics.
It’s cope, at least in part, to point out that the open advance of fascism in the US is several years ahead of the rest of the Western world, and that this was possible under an absolute dumbfuck embarrassment like Trump. And I get why people need to cope right now.
It’s also not wrong to point out that this was enabled by the US exceptionalist mindset and particular flavor of nationalism that we’ve all been exposed to.
This reads as a diss against all people in the US, but it’s not. I strongly empathize with and am in solidarity with those suffering under it.

So many Europeans in here clearly taking the rage bait yet acting like they’re still the high ground is so funny lol
