About half of us are still with you. This will happen to you too if you don’t keep the wealthy in check
Our european leaders have gotten lazier and lazier over time, with eastern block countries heavily affected by corruption and populist nationalistic propaganda has been spreading like wildfire recently.
It’s time to get off our high horse and start investing in ourselves more and stop looking up to anyone else. They are not better than us, they were made to appear so and we’ve been just taking everything at face value.
We have both the manpower and the resources, we just need to be more united and support and push for more relevant policies in our countries.
Dunno, maybe it’s wishful thinking , but I just don’t want to be defined by what other countries say or do. We have to think for ourselves.
I feel like this is world wide. People need to stop looking up to someone to save them. It’s like humanity as a whole is played out and used. It just feels like all the old methods of what was considered governing are collapsing like the way religion as governing collapsed. There isn’t anything to replace it. Maybe that’s why they want to use AI.
Denmark protests against the US wanting to annex its territory, so it’s going to buy more US planes to defend itself. 🤡
Europe has more problems than just laziness.
It’s not like USA didn’t profit from being the sole sheriff on international waters for those 80 years. Europe being subdued and mostly not seeking any power projection in that period allowed the US to dictate who buys what from whom and in what currency. None of world policing was a charity. There’s no going back to that. Europe has to commit to security, I just hope Von Der Leyen and Tusk will not waste that 1trillion euro they are promising to spend on that and that Americans will take the Russians assets out the Romanian way and become sane again.
Republican politicians. Most Americans haven’t changed their minds. We are going through some shit ATM, just ignore us for a while please.
Well… if you as a nation wouldn’t have this big military of yours and the ability to kill 90% of all life on earth, and IF you would stick to your home turf to fight out this rough shit… well THEN it would be much more easy to ignore you.
Unfortunately trust doesn’t work that way. When you betray alliances, trust is broken and it would take a fundamental change in the US political system and many decades to rebuild that trust.
This isn’t Trump’s first term. This isn’t an interruption of America being it’s true self. Biden was the interruption, Trump is the new normal of what America is to the world. Even if a Democrat wins the next election (if there is one) no one can trust that the US won’t go back to someone like Trump in a future election.
The US is at best an unreliable ally and at worst an adversary. That’s just how it is now.
Unfortunately the world cannot afford to ignore.
This is the part that saddens me the most. I don’t care if America burns, we deserve it. It’s all the bridges burning at the same time that hurts.
we deserve it
Please don’t do that.
Don’t do what? Hate my country? Have you seen what the US is now? I hope it fucking burns to ash, and sooner than later.
I find these types of self-pitying comments absolutely not helpful.
Yeah well, closing your eyes to reality is also not helpful
I didn’t advise doing that, there’s a large spectrum between closing your eyes and writing “please kill me, I deserve it” publicly on the internet, adding to a feeling of despair. The biggest issue in the US right now is not enough people taking action, too many people prioritizing having a day job and writing angry screeds on the internet, rather than say, organizing a local demonstration, writing a strongly worded letter to the next available congressperson, or modifying a Tesler store.
Americans are not our friends. Republican, Democrat or otherwise.
Most? Isn’t that what peoples vote means? I think your fucking house is on fire. Ours too by the way.
Isn’t that what peoples vote means?
Assuming the elections here weren’t tampered with, yes. But in this case, it’s pretty obvious that there was clearly shit going on to produce the election results that Trump wanted.
Also, the elections here are pretty much a choice between a shit sandwich and a turd sandwich because of the two-party system that has been the standard for decades. 3rd party candidates are basically shunned and seen as a wasted vote. Because of this, a big majority of the voting population just doesn’t vote because they feel like their voice isn’t heard anyways.
Then take into account that critical thinking wasn’t ever taught in schools, tribalism, propaganda, and people just plain trying to survive and put food on their table unless they are wealthy thanks to “trickle down economics”.
Pretty obvious how we got here, the house is on fire, the garage is torched, and both neighbors’ houses are about to go up in flames. The neighbors are outside screaming at the house that’s on fire because the people inside are the firefighters and too busy trying eat instead of escaping and putting out the fire.
But in this case, it’s pretty obvious that there was clearly shit going on to produce the election results that Trump wanted.
You mean besides the usual voter roll culling in red states, Trump discouraging mail-in ballots and Elmo promising million-USD prizes to voters?
We’re all burning just one of us is burning a little faster.
I hope that European consumer boycotts work. It won’t be easy but I hope it creates the waves needed for our corporate overlords to start paying off politicians to allow better relationships between the EU and USA. But one can only hope.
Some of haven’t. Some of us wish we could leave and lever look back.
