I know this is an unpopular opinion and I expect downvotes, but no one is faring that much better. Especially the UK.

Brexit was such a success, right? Johnson was the right choice, and you totally didn’t have a huge fucking racist rally in September (100,000 people?!)? Those people were all from the U.S.?

This isn’t just a U.S. problem but it’s nice that the narrative makes you feel better!

Any self awareness at all in Europe nowadays? No. Feels too good to act superior.

    I'm Danish. You can make up your own mind as to how that might influence my perspective right now.

    I don’t care at all. You’ve made your thought-terminating point in a UK community.

    ...You're completely unaware of the profound irony of the statement you just made, aren't you?

    Here I’ll copy what I said before because you’re too stupid to read.

    Any self awareness at all in Europe nowadays? No. Feels too good to act superior.

    And you literally proved it in two comments. Genuinely, the arrogance is astounding. What a waste of text!

    Keep patting yourself on the back, though. You’re so smart. I wish I had your delusional self confidence.

    The labor government is a shit show, and they've done more damage than the tories did already. Outlawing protest, disallowing defenses against those charges, (often like decades in prison for disfavored protests, environmental and israel and climate now but everything else soon enough,) politicians proscribing protest groups as terrorists themselves, associating any protest of that same issue as support of the proscribed group. The masterbaitorbase and age checks.

    The last the most pernicious perhaps. In effect it is them surrendering their populations to tech for a cut of the feed, identifying everyone to their accounts and everything they do, and allowing palantir companies to make social scores on their half baked formulas to be secretly used against everyones.

    I am forgetting some stuff too. But the UK is perhaps more fucked than the US, it's in our face, they somehow think they are winning because it's "their" guys in there right now.

    There has to be something in the water or food making us compliant, some ubiquitous pollutant(s,) some 1984 type shit.
