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.

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

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.

If you really want to piss off Europeans all you gotta do is make the claim that the EU is subsurvient to US foreign policy demands which means they'll throw away any of their beneficial policies or laws to retain good standing in the US hegemony, no matter how absurd or insane US leadership is.

They didn't give away Greenland when the Donnie asked. That's a grudgin'

[–] damwab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's the funny thing, things are finally changing in that regard! Anti US-led policies and projects to disconnect ourselves from the nasty fingers that have led us astray for far too long :)

Calling other people’s opinions stupid is rich coming from the country that elected Donald Trump…

Twice…

The Far Right is rising EVERYWHERE. Before criticizing America, they should realize that we're just the canary in the coalmine, and they should take care of their own countries, because THEY are next. They should be rooting for the Left to take back America, because that's what they have to do in their own countries, too.

Besides, wishing for America's demise is stupid. The economies of every country in the world is tied directly or indirectly to the American economy. If America truly collapses, it will bring down the entire world. Like it or not, it's the TRUTH.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

The US economy is directly tied to imperialism and massive exploitation of other nations. And we both know that's not gonna change under any Democratic leadership.

You can't just go back to the way things were because it worked for you.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

The economies of every country in the world is tied directly or indirectly to the American economy.

And that's undeniably a bad thing. And since US will never allow anything else as long as they're perceived as strong, maybe their collapse will be the only path forward.
The same was said about EU and Russia before the war started, "everyone" was saying that EU depends on Russian oil so much, the second Russia stops selling, EU economy will collapse. And when it finally happened, it turned out to be a nothingburger.
It's possible that this incredible American dependence is also a bunch of empty bolstering.

If it makes you feel any better, I want you back. Polanski of UK Greens wants out of NATO and into an EU-exclusive military alliance

I want the US to go to rehab and then move back in with us. I'll even make your favorite dish: string cheese

[–] Gregers@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Same. They need to do something about the educational system and the propaganda machines being run by billionaires when/if they get a sane government again. Otherwise this shit will just happen again

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

As an American, that's basically what I want. I want us to change, reform, and learn to live as a valued member in a community of nations.
