Europeans too. But we're basically Americans also, so.

    Well I mean, at the moment at least it seems that European protests against the current regimes are burning down city halls while the Americans are busy dancing with cop-approved parameters and building human sculptures that say "vote". But then again, until either of these areas goes through a communist revolution I'll call neither less pathetic or spineless population than the other.

    spineless

    I would not call what france people are doing "spineless" and even the (IMO) the most spineless of europe (Italians) burned down at least 1 building and are protesting, sud italian farmers even refused to work and are blocking roads with some mayors supporting 'em

    I didn't mean to generalize to all of europes population. Mainly its governments. And mainly germans. But also most of german citizens. We REALLY like to follow orders. It's like a fetish. So what's happening in france would never happen here. Especially not with that severity. Maybe to an extend localized in some areas like berlin and maybe parts of hamburg. Overall the sentiment here is that most people are appalled by the violence and feel sad for that beautiful building that was burned down. And that's about it.

    propagandized against communism? 100%
    vassals of the US? same.
    But "we're basically Americans" is an insult I won't take.

    I gotta hand you guys that, it does seem like there's a limit to how much bullshit you'll tolerate. We have yet to find that limit in the states.

    Glad you acknowledge it.
    Plenty here get real defensive for pointing that out.

    I guess we are slightly less indoctrinated into bootlicking the authoritarian state.
    We don't thank our regime troops for their service, our cops don't get free stuff in shops, etc...
    No comically large flags or killer jet fly overs at sports games either.

    well yeah, it seems the usians prefer to dance and vote. i'd rather celebrate local cultures on their own terms, not under US hegemony.
