βOn second thought letβs not go to the United States. βtβis a silly place.β
Yes we are the only country on earth with religious fundamentalists
i wont be so sure of that, most religious right wing country of all western countries, yes.
Oh absolutely not, but the USA is without a doubt the silliest one at that.
In most countries political figures are boring by default. Maybe a few outliers but all in all blander than oatmeal with water instead of milk.
Do I even need to start describing the USA?
You guys have fucking wrestling in front of the White House thatβs being wrecked to build a ginormous ballroom on top of a βsecretβ bunker. I could go on for pages but Iβm gonna end up in tldr territory very quickly.
(Also, it was just a play on a Monty python quote)
This is absolutely correct. We should probably replace silly with madhouse tho
No, you're not the only one. Do you think it makes you less so? Do you think it's less silly place because there are others like that in the world?
Yeah but, we're definitely the loudest
And most obnoxious
Well compared to most European countries you are sure clear winners
Europe's been experiencing a far-right religious coded revival for nearly a decade.
German Catholics are fucking insane and they're all over the political and business scenes. Poland maintains one of the highest rates of religious observance in Europe, with over 85% of citizens identifying as Catholic and regular church attendance remaining remarkably high. Romania hosts one of Europe's largest evangelical communities, with Pentecostals seeing steadily growing membership for over a decade.
The pox of reactionary Christendom is spreading with the collapse of left-wing institutions and the ramp up of white nationalist propaganda.
All what you're saying and more are big problems by European standards. And yet, the most insane Polish catholic will be seen as moderate woke by the most enlightened American public. Polland's remarkably high religious observance is actually 30% of Catholics attended a mass at least once a year, according to 2024 numbers that I could find. Which actually down from 50% over last three decades with continuing downwards trend.
So yeah, if you look for very specific things like Pentecostsls in Romania, you can find some anomalies that you can then spin as a catastrophe, but the fact that you needed to do this anomaly hunt in the first place says enough.
That's not remotely true. And we know we isn't true, because Victor Orban is out here funding CPAC. They're all the same guys, in conversation with one another
Maybe I'm spoiled by my mostly atheist country. What you say makes me sad.
The Vatican is #1, but we're the only other "Western Democracy" that is having a major resurgence of fundies in power. There's always been a problem, but never have they had so much sway. And we're not better off for it.
