Giving out an ultimatum to blow up civilian infrastructure is a war crime right

      brainrot through social media / smartphones, coupled with propaganda.

      We have the brainrot already in Europe - if our propaganda were as strong, we’d be just as bad, sadly.

        We spent decades destroying our education system and you didn’t even mention it, do our efforts mean nothing to you?

        Not true, the US is in the end game stage of capitalism and is run like one big corporation. Only numbers matters. Europe never was like this

          The anglo world has been living under Murdoch’s propaganda for decades. He may be old and dying, but his family will likely do the same here in Europe. It’ll take decades, but it’ll happen.

          While I don’t agree, your point and my observation do not contradict each other.

          As much as I despise what’s normal in Magastan, telling ourselves we are in any way more smart or ethical in Europe is precisely how we run our bus off the same cliff.

            I meant that in today’s Europe, particularly Western Europe, there isn’t the same cultural attachment to exceptionalism. There’s also no existential drive to dominate like there is in the US. There’s more balance, collaboration, and people value collective progress not just individual “supremacy”. We’re all stupid

              True. But again - with enough propaganda, it could be. And our shitheads in basically all of the European governments are hard at work to re-establish totalitarian regimes.
