      Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

      If I were you, I’d take a hard look at rising right wing extremism across the EU, and spread the word. Before it happens to you, too.

        “rising” not winning. So far the right wings havent had a lot of success in Europe, even though now both russia and USA are trying yo manipulate our People to vote for their crazy agenda. What usa has become, is a scary example of how the right wing will fuck up your country once it goes there way. We can only Hope we are better than this. I see a stronger, more unified EU now, than before trump got voted in for the second time. I only see the right has most of their success with the boomer generation and in eastern european countries, which apparently has a more laissez faire relationship with russia in the first place. But we will see. We are undoubtly not allies with usa Anymore, so we have to create our own future with what we got now.

          That’s what I’m saying!

          It may be fun to make fun of the US, and justified. But I think it’s a distraction from what’s happening in your own back yard.

          Don’t be us. Please.

            If the US learned anything of Europe they wouldn’t be in this mess… Europeans are already very aware of it. edit: you are warning us about what we’ve already been through and we warned YOU about. the ignorance and arrogance of you people are staggering.

      the grass roots culture across the us is “stay off my property or I will shoot you”. so what’ya expect? the largest cultural influences we have are pioneer culture and capitalism. it isn’t a mature society by any measure, it is the pinnacle of what you get from colonialism.

        Whenever I see those crazy, deranged Israeli settlers in the West Bank, I can’t help but think about how the people who colonized North America were just as horrible. Cut from the exact same cloth.

          Africa, NA, Central America, SA, the Carribean, Asia, the Pacific, Australia and everything else. Alcohol, disease, war, food, drugs, minerals, sex, amd labor. Everywhere you go, it happened, and is still happening, even in the culture that replaced what was destroyed. There’s always something to steal or take advantage of, for the greedy.

      It’s hard to care about the outside when I have to constantly be vigilant to how my closest neighbors are trying to fuck us.
