  Spreading the plague, as insects are wont to do.

    As an American, I would like to apologize profusely for the rank idiocy of my fellow citizens.

    • MisterOwl@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      No need for an apology here, I too am beyond mortified by what my country has revealed itself to be. I do sincerely hope the rest of the civilized world resists the ideology we seem to be exporting before it’s too late.

  We have plenty of fascists here. It’s not like the US have a monopoly. We don’t quite let them run the show yet, but we’re certainly working on it.

    Yeah, but a really big part of the MAGA platform is hating on the "communist" and "woke" "yuropoors". She must really really hate it here.

      Also insane because I’m willing to bet she grew up and went to school in the era before we militarized our schools

    We have European fascists here. The point here is: why would an American fascist move to Amsterdam?

    The difference is that while we may have several fascists here, unlike in the US the majority are not fascists.

  They come here to spread their culture, their ideology of violence and intolerance.

    As an American, please enthusiastically tell any American that tries to do this to fuck all the way off and go back to our own shitty country. I don’t want us fucking up your continent too.

      Here here. If Europe goes to trash I won’t even be able to VPN my way out of fascist bullshit.

        If Europe goes to fash, my options narrow to Japan or SK or A/NZ, and none of those have the same geopolitical weight as the EU.

        The EU is, IMO, the last best hope for democracy in the world these days, in the context of a geopolitically significant polity that is (mostly) cohesive.

        And I hope that statement ages like wine, not milk (or, like the B5 S3 intro)

    Europe has its own nest of fascists and they’re gaining popularity.

  Europeans invented fascism so she’s just trying to learn from the best.

  Could be a military member stationed there. A guy I work with is one of those 4chan “libertarians” and had nothing but “horror stories” about living in Germany. Same guy is terrified to venture into the local major metropolitan area or take the light rail system.

  I’m an American living in the EU, and I’m surprised by that. All the other American immigrants I’ve met so far have been opposed to Trump and Republicans generally. I always figured the conservatives were likely to be buying into AmErIcA iS tHe BeSt propaganda and would thus be uninterested in moving to another country.

  Maybe they needed the more affordable healthcare?

  source

  • gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    We need that, and healthcare that isn’t tied to our jobs, because that significantly entrenches the whole wage slavery thing.

  It’s funny, the fascists “won” here, but they are still expatriating themselves to fuck up other people’s countries too.

  Imagine being racist and wanting to enjoy it instead of making it political. In the US it’s culture war shit. In Europe you can go to a football match and throw bananas at the black players and it’s chill. It’s just easier to be casually racist in Europe because racism doesn’t exist there, and if it does, it’s not as bad as America.

    Recently in Spain a football fan got sentenced for racist chants
