Oh right, I guess Europe has never needed outside help with a fascist takeover ๐
Maybe don't insult the people who want to be your ally, or you'll find yourself without any.
Are... Are you serious right now? You tell me this, after everything the orange has done and said? Some would consider it a bit too late to for that, the alliance has ended, if not officially in all other aspects, and you're the ones who've destroyed it. How can we ever trust you again?
Don't play the good guy, you were profiting from both sides before officially joining, and once you joined it had no effect on your own fascism. Don't forget that prior to WW2, American Fascism/Racism was too extreme even for the Nazis, so they (the Nazis) deliberately toned their versions down a bit.
Look man, I'm here to be supportive. I'm trying to spend my money on European goods where possible because the US capitalist oligarchs are driving us headfirst into this disaster and they only seem to understand money. And yes I do mean all of us because they have plenty of cronies and sycophants in Europe and throughout the world.
Like, what's Germany doing to stop the genocide of Palestinians right now? Oh they're still giving massive aid to the Israeli government, just like the US? The fascists want total control and to murder any opposition, and they don't care about silly international boundaries unless it helps them control and divide people further.
You have every right to be furious about all of this. I am too. Can we please be furious together? The left so often dismantles itself with needless infighting and ideological purity tests instead of accepting differences and working together on common causes.
I'm from the US, but I don't represent the country. I don't even want to -- I want to leave. I hate so much about the culture and whitewashing of history and international manipulations and so on. So it's frankly weird that you want to fight when I'm here agreeing with you.
And the person you are talking to doesn't represent Europeans.
As far as I see, throughout most of Europe the is a very strong current of filth in people's mind. Fashism and racism is on the rise in both the US and the EU. The US isn't alone going through this.
The emergency is such that the Time must not be used for pointing fingers between democracy lovers but to find a path that would push people going to the far right today back into saner grounds. And to get back those votes, going full left isn't the emergency pull. It's good on the long term but the emergency is such that we need to entice those that strayed back into the fold , not offer them a portrait of what they've been brainwashed to hate.
