Fuck this
Genuinely hate everything that’s going on right now
I think a lot of Europeans just think that the stuff in the United States won’t affect them. So all they’re doing is just making fun of people in the United States and saying the US is stupid and stuff. I don’t know why Europeans aren’t trying harder to actually help the people in the US who want to resist - actually resist.
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
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.
Thank you for talking about it.
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.
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
I just don’t agree with this statement. At all.

Eww no. Stop. This is so stupid.
Why the hell are leaders in Europe bending over for this idiot? The US has made a disaster of it’s roads and vehicles and now you want to follow suit? Unbelievable
Monopoly money

We have a lot of little cuck right wing “leaders” right now an they’ve been itching for a boot to lick for almost a century.
The current Swedish “Moderate party” sided with the Nazis during WW2 and had to change their name after. Now they are best buds with Swedens Nazi Party and will let them into the government next election (they’re practically in already since they dictate policy in exchange for political support).
So there is a loophole that make it possible to import such car and the trade deal threatens to not close it. That’s a little less sensational than what the tittle says.
Hehe lol no we won’t…
When they go low, we also go low.
SILENCE!
YOU ARE ALL JUST MOBILE SPEED BUMPS THAT I CAN’T EVEN SEE FROM MY LIFTED MONSTER TRUCK!
Noooooo
Too bad this won’t happen because it would be amusing to see idiots struggle with the those huge cars on European roads
Don’t know where you live, but Im seeing more and more of them. Quite a few at the Croatian coast where I am right now. All kinds of EU licence plates.
So many in fact, I was chilling and thinking how hard it would be to start an eu initiative to ban cars with such a bad field of view.
Now I find out more are coming?!
Quite a few in Austria, too. Mostly Rams. I remember one with license plate along the line of “Love USA”, then one with a sticker “HATERS HOTLINE 0800-321-EAT-SHIT”. A great tell that only assholes with insecurities drive these.
The new trend in many cities is to lower the speed limits, ban or limit cars in the centres, and promote bikes. Big cars will have an hard time with that plan.
Moreover, all old garages built more than 20/30 years ago are often too short for many modern cars, just imagine American monsters.
Finding a parking for a large car may be a nightmare in large cities too in general. Imagine also driving in historical centres through small roads with a big car.
They could certainly circulate in general, after all we have buses too, but I think they would be massively unpractical and we are not even considering costs, fuel, and limitations for the emissions.
You are right, they won’t be such a massive hit as in the US, but seeing a few of them use multiple parking spaces also won’t be a calming sight.
It depends on people’s reaction. I am pretty sure that there will be a few idiots buying them in car-crazy countries like Italy. I highly doubt they would sell in The Netherlands at all instead.
