    Wait but I thought white rage tipping a nation into overt fascism was a uniquely American problem because we’re just so uniquely evil that American leftists should be left to burn in the hell our countrymen made without any sympathy or help, and not because this is a situation that arises from the inherent contradictions of capitalism and the long, long history of European colonialism and white supremacy that we share?

    Well fucking well…

    EDIT: sorry to intrude in your space but I’m so fucking tired of years of “you people deserve it, yes all of you.”

      Yeah very interesting how Euros get real fucking pissed when I point out that the far right party is primed to win the next election over their useless neoliberal party that is currently running their country into the ground. It’s happening in the UK, it is happening in France, it’s happening in Germany, and it’s already happened in Italy.

        Is that a thing? I’m a Brit and we’ve been sliding towards the far right since the Johnson years. Seeing the US under Trump is just a glimpse at what we can look forward to if the media keep pushing pro maga uk propaganda, and it probably will. BBC is basically the PR department of Five Mil Farage.

          Yes, it is a thing. Most Europeans seem to be in complete denial about how problematic they are as a collective.

        Almost like this is planned? That billionaires and oligarchs and neo-nazis around the world have been working together to advance this for several decades is just a crazy conspiracy, isn’t it?

        Don’t worry, I hate our main parties too. I voted green.

        Slim bit of good news is that the greens actually may win some small level of representation in our system, but I am not overly hopeful.

      Euro-slander? Prepare for the downvotes.

      They do not take criticism or non-halo’d observations at all well.
