Also all true, sadly. I’m so lucky to be European, although it’s not paradise here, either. But still…
All true. They have their own version of this though.
“When I see pro American pieces, I remember that their citizens are obese and undereducated, or subjugated by centuries old race caste system and incarcerated at very high rates. Their schools are failing, their cities are riddled with crime, their infrastructure is crumbling, half of them hate the other half, and they wield imperial control around the world with their military, killing a million Iraqis to secure their oil.”

After everything Europe did in the 20th century I think y’all best just keep quiet for about a century. “Not paradise…” Jesus.

Fuck right off. Seriously, fuck off. It’s none of our faults, everyone involved is fucking dead or certainly not on Lemmy.
You can take your misdirected feelings and shove them right up your stupid ass.

You just emptied your fuck gun at me but watch me raise one hand like Neo and drop them on the floor.
The comment I replied to is like an American showing up to a thread about slavery and saying “gee! That’s awful! I’m so glad I’m an American!”
You don’t brag about your just-recently-overcome legacy of horror. I will shit on Euro smugness every time, because here’s what it says:
“We raped the world of resources and slaves for centuries but we took all that wealth and built nice social democracies for ourselves! Aren’t we pretty!”
No sir, you can fuck right off.

Maybe don’t brag about your social programs when they’re funded by hundreds of years of rape and pillage? Idk, just an idea

I’m sure they’d love to come live in the YS though.
