        Too late. Youve had decades to do something about your dictatorship, but only now that it directly affects you and the dictators are barely trying to hide it, do you suddenly care and act like youre innocent when it comes to the state of affairs you find yourself in.

        Where were you when it was innocent people in other countries were being bombed in the ME, or SE Asia, or tortured, or x, y, z crime against humanity you guys have been commiting?

        Why should we send help instead of leaving you on the ship and just watch it as it sinks?

          Oh right, I guess Europe has never needed outside help with a fascist takeover 🙄

          Maybe don’t insult the people who want to be your ally, or you’ll find yourself without any.

            Are… Are you serious right now? You tell me this, after everything the orange has done and said? Some would consider it a bit too late to for that, the alliance has ended, if not officially in all other aspects, and you’re the ones who’ve destroyed it. How can we ever trust you again?

            Oh right, I guess Europe has never needed outside help with a fascist takeover

            Don’t play the good guy, you were profiting from both sides before officially joining, and once you joined it had no effect on your own fascism. Don’t forget that prior to WW2, American Fascism/Racism was too extreme even for the Nazis, so they (the Nazis) deliberately toned their versions down a bit.

              Look man, I’m here to be supportive. I’m trying to spend my money on European goods where possible because the US capitalist oligarchs are driving us headfirst into this disaster and they only seem to understand money. And yes I do mean all of us because they have plenty of cronies and sycophants in Europe and throughout the world.

              Like, what’s Germany doing to stop the genocide of Palestinians right now? Oh they’re still giving massive aid to the Israeli government, just like the US? The fascists want total control and to murder any opposition, and they don’t care about silly international boundaries unless it helps them control and divide people further.

              You have every right to be furious about all of this. I am too. Can we please be furious together? The left so often dismantles itself with needless infighting and ideological purity tests instead of accepting differences and working together on common causes.

              I’m from the US, but I don’t represent the country. I don’t even want to – I want to leave. I hate so much about the culture and whitewashing of history and international manipulations and so on. So it’s frankly weird that you want to fight when I’m here agreeing with you.

      U.S. bars (some) Europeans (that) it says pressured tech firms to censor American viewpoints online (from entering the country)?

        The censoring is most likely about the Digital Services Act, which among other things requires social media platforms to adequately moderate their platform. America has called that “censorship” multiple times over the past year

        According to Trump and co, Europe does not have the right to regulate American tech companies, even within Europe.

          Yeah, it was my biggest fear when Trump got in elected: that the US would put more effort into strong arming foreign countries that were attempting to limit misinformation from US tech companies (and that would lead to more anti-science + far-right + hate)
