    Ah Europe famous for colonization, slave trade, racism, the literal nazis being the good guys?

    Y’all I’m an American and fuck my country and fuck the current Russian state but fuck Europe even more tbh.

    Also what are you hating on China for? Guess that’s European racism again.

    Since Epstein was very clearly Mossad and the United States politicians are being blackmailed and bribed by Israeli intelligence I kinda feel like this should be included in the enemy lineup. Although Is china really an enemy of Europe?

    The Jedi were neoliberal losers that allowed fascists come to power and cared not for the extreme poverty going on beneath their feet of Coruscant, so yeah putting the blue lightsaber in Europe’s hands is accurate.

    How is China exactly threatening Europe? By offering affordable electric cars and cheap solar panels and batteries that EU doesn’t manufacture anyway?

    Don’t bother with the propaganda, Europe is the best place to live in, we are happiest and healthiest population. US is nothing but a European colony in Native American land with hybris. We had fascism here 100 years ago, US is just now starting to explore it. Democracy can be simple populism if the population is uneducated, thats what Europeans concluded 2000 years ago in Greece.

      Europe is only a decent place to live because it’s reliant on imperialism, and until now has been able to rely on the US Empire propping up NATO to lower Europe’s millitary spending. Now that imperialism is drying up and the US Empire no longer wants to be the only one paying for NATO, European countries are enforcing austerity and sliding to the far-right.

        To be fair, far-right ideologies have been ramping up worldwide since a decade or two.

        The current political context just embolden the far right actors to go mask off.

          But why? What is the material cause of this? I’d say it’s the gradual decline in imperialism breeding right-wing populism as the smaller capitalists are pressed downward toward the working classes, and the necessity of austerity to cover for losses in gains from imperialism.

            There is certainly a big part that can be attributed to imperialism, but my (uneducated) pet theory is that technocrats were able to harness the accessibility of big data after the great recession to siphon wealth from working class a lot more efficiently, by radicalizing people.

            There had been a big leap from 2005 to 2015-2016 on computing power that enabled the widespread of big data and the corpos with the means to get in on it used it to further enrich their corporation and themselves and created this extremely toxic environment where everything is polarized and monetized.

            And with big data, populists can change in real time their message so that they get more money and influence. And tribalism seems to work pretty fucking well. So they finetuned their message to radicalize people and achieve that goal.

            People can isolate themselves into online communities that will echo and amplify their views of the world. And now they are pouring on the streets because they’ve became enough of a big group to do so.

            Technocrats created this big machine to get rich, and the machine feed itself, giving more power to the ultra rich, which grab more power and influence by radicalizing people.

    Except the EU can’t compete industrially or millitarily with any of those 3. The EU needs to correctly identify who to partner with for its own survival, and it’s clear that the PRC is the best option, Russia being a second choice. The US Empire is dying, and the EU imperialists are either going to fall down with it or be forced into cooperation with those it has convinced itself are existential enemies.
