learn to take the criticism then
Is that the gold you stole from the natives?
No. They earned it by mining land stolen from natives.
No. They earned it by forcing slaves to mine the land stolen from their Indigenous people.
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.
Our far right wants free health care, free dental, HBTQIA+ rights and higher pensions.
lmao
Sure they do.
Why the everloving fuck wouldn’t they? Sweden’s far right is wayyyyy left of the DNC.
You should readjust your irony detector.
Somehow I doubt that…
Ya that’s how that works. Don’t talk shit about my homophobic, racist, pedophile billionaire loving shit hole! It’s my God dammed shit hole!
Europeans should be self aware enough to recognize that the most devastating criticism of Trump are direct comparisons to historic European tyrants. And forget about Hitler or Mussolini. Donald Trump at his worst can’t even measure up to Leopold II.
Very slight difference to note. Leopold II was alive 150 years ago. Trump is alive today.
Also, Leopold II wasn’t elected once. Let alone twice
Right, Leopold II didn’t shit his pants
Right? Trump’s nothing but a Temu dictator that was actually elected into that position rather than a proper tyrant dictator.
The US can’t even do despotism right.
Ah yes. A whataboutism will make everything right. Maybe we should have sent some smarter guys back in 1492
They weren’t sending us their best, that’s for sure.
That is an insane argument. You are saying anybody whose country went through a genocidal dictator can’t criticize Trump because he’s not as bad yet? WTF?
Never mind that in those examples that they gave, none of them were elected like Trump was:
-
Hitler lost the election for president; but was later appointed as chancellor by the guy that won after political pressure;
-
Mussolini was appointed by the king after threats of paramilitary force;
-
Leopold II was a hereditary monarch
Sorry US bros. I like you and I love you depending on the days. But just like the French will never live down the white flag meme, you will never live down that you elected a pedophile fascist TWICE.
-
As a Brit I fucking hate the royal family and their soft power and their wealth, but I’d argue that Trump has more of both and is heading for more than a royal has had in a Western country in living memory.
Man’s not heading for anything but the grave lmao, have you seen him lately? 50/50 odds he dies of natural causes before the midterms, I bet they’ll try to weekend at Bernie’s him for at least a few days.
My preferred comparison is to Napoleon III. It’s not a perfect match, but provides a lot of comparisons: the attack on freedoms, the incompetent political appointees, the unwise foreign wars, the puffed-up overconfidence and the sheer mediocrity…
EU is just on a slower path to fascism.
Slower path? They are waiting to reboot their original fascism.
Nah, it’s a new brand this time
Well yes, because of US and russian interference.
Well, US interference is so blatant and obnoxious that is actually counterproductive. Trump getting elected stopped a few far right movements, and others lost momentum.
Paying 2000 people in St petersburg to shit post non stop about immigration, works. Sending vance to deliver a speech, doesn’t.
Innocent Europeans would NEVER do a fascism without a wicked Other forcing them to do it!
Girls, girls. You’re all pretty. It’s capitalists who are dragging the whole world towards fascism, don’t get it twisted with nationality
Idk mate… They kinda ugly tbh
Didn’t y’all invent it?
Tried it out too. That’s why I hope it won’t be a full roll over.
Not if we stop the fash parties.
You’re probably not gonna stop the facists.
I didn’t use the royal we.
I would never clap back a Europeans criticizing the USA. It would be impolite, and they’re usually right anyway. I’d love to move to the EU someday too; but it won’t happen because the only thing they hate more than USians are brown Muslims 😔.
only thing they hate more than USians are brown Muslims 😔.
You forgot Romani people
God dude looking at comment threads of people in Europe talking about the Romani is genuinely sickening.
It is a self-serving circle. People assign certain behaviors to Romani, refusing to take them as a part of the society. Then the Romani will act that way, since it is expected anyway, and there is barely chances to do otherwise. And the cycle has continued for a long time, creating a culture that is not only shunned by the society, but also sees itself not being a part of the society, so their actions reflect on that. Stopping the cycle is incredibly difficult, as the racism is ingraved deep. That does not mean, that it should not be the goal, though.
Got to honor my South and Central American homies 🫡
That’s nice and all, but you’ll get the same look as someone saying “Latinx” IRL
Our Epstein class let in a ton of brown Muslims, it didn’t went well for the local population.
To be fair, right now all EU is not high on any kind of immigration, because of above-mentioned + housing crisis + working condition going down.
The second you speak the local language though, that perception changes 180.
Our Epstein class let in a ton of brown Muslims, it didn’t went well for the local population.
“Uh hyuk it didn’t went well.”
We don’t take kindly to racism here. Go away. Preferably kill yourself, but that’s your prerogative.
Please keep your USian death culture to yourself. Get help.
You literally believe your equivalent of the shit Fox News tells you, go to hell with your lame ass.
Here’s some UK data on the subject. The US data looks similar.
facts sadly
That’s all us euros would expect from a nation comprised of the rest of the world’s rejects.
world’s rejects
Yep, that’s us ;)
Americans are unable to grasp the concept of per capita.
Euros are unable to grasp the concept of immigration.
counterpoint
Is that really a counterpoint though?
Counter-counterpoint
hey friend, we take the good with the bad. most of us like it that way. some of us have forgotten the dream this country was built on. usually it happens when they get too much money. truth is, it’s always just been the ones with money making sure the rest of us stay divided. 🤷♂️
it’s the ones with money that give a shit about borders and that foment hate between their lessers to make sure we never get it together.
12,000 years of this shit, at least.
Who? Australia?
Oi! You cheeky cunt, we’re not all fuckin drongos down here. Now, hold still while I glass ya.
Does that mean if we all stop legit criticisms, y’all stop feeling irrationally inferior and become normal?
At least we europoors know the usa‘s real birthday is July 2nd
