Pedestrians, cyclists and drivers are at increased risk as the rapid rise in monster US pick-up trucks on Europe’s roads is set to accelerate after the…
Europeans know constantly that every little shit happening in that land affects us. That’s why we keep talking about it. Every single bad decision hits here like the latest cool stupid thing to happen. All the time. We are not new at this. The whole reason we keep involved in reading the news and participanting pointing out how everything is so bad there.
That and how many are seemingly oblivious to the growing far right/fascist movements in their own countries. You’d think Europe is a leftist utopia based on Lemmy, but it seems like half of Europe is already controlled by the far right while the other half is just barely keeping them out of power.
To a certain extent at least, I think the right wing racist sort of people (you know, Nazis, but not exclusively Nazis) are encouraging this, they’re saying to kowtow to the US, because the US is now a leader in the world for getting Nazi things implemented.
The irony is that I think only an American or someone dangerously americanized would be this naive. The world follows US politics closely because their politics influence is felt everywhere. You can‘t sit down to watch a movie, buy groceries or go out clubbing without being reminded who the top dog is.
And if you really think anyone will come to help the US you are gravely mistaken. No one has the power to stop the orange other than the citizens of the United States itself. No one else has the power to intervene. The US run the fucking world.
in the fascist playbook this would be counted as foreign terrorist influence and would not do you guys over there any good, as it would pave the way to you being mass arrested.
so we can only support you from afar, sorry

Brits are taking this opportunity to make fun of us and call us stupid, all while fascism is creeping into their own country.
You’re under arrest

You don‘t get it, do you? No one else is able to save the US fucking A from itself. It‘s physically impossible.
