Dear USA,

Womp womp.

Sincerely,

Everywhere Else.

You’re completely correct here, and that makes the whole burning shitbin even worse.

What stupid games, exactly?

You’re a teacher, right? If not… Jebus, you’re in the wrong job friend 💛

You can reasonably make the same claim of absolutely any group of people though. To single Europe out as racist makes no sense. There are racists everywhere, on every continent, in every country, in every city, town, and village.

What’s suddenly making them a problem is they’re all being encouraged from every angle, above board and below, because it serves the 1%s purposes.

By attempting to lay the blame at the feet of “Europe” you’re simply playing into their hands.

You neglected to account for Russia (directly in some cases here in the UK, for example) funding and lobbying via third parties for xenophobic right wing bigotry.

This is public knowledge, with reporting covering at least the edges of the schemes. A couple of UKIP ex-MEPs were recently in court for taking Russian brown envelopes to say what they were told in statements to the European Parliament. One of those responsible fully admitted it and pleaded guilty IIRC.

That’s but one example that’s fresh in my mind, but we in the UK also know that Russian involvement in Brexit was essential to it actually happening. This was both reported on by mass media, and warned about by UK intelligence services, but various elements of the Conservative government of the time had vested interests in pushing it through.

This is just the UK. I highly doubt Russian influence is any less active on the continent. The myriad provocative events in France, as another example, have been traced to third parties recruited and employed by Russian agents.

All of this is amplified by the US’ overtly fascist diplomatic stance, Trump and his cohort of cocksuckers attempting to compensate for their self loathing, and the oligarchical techbros egging on the far right at every available opportunity.

TL;DR The dumb take no-one wants to hear merely demonstrates your ignorance of the reality of the state of global geopolitics

Can’t spell Tram without Ram.

While I wholeheartedly agree with you, the first pedestrian to step in front of one of those things is going to have a very bad day™.

No, you’re “challenging” against over a hundred years of observations and research done by people with far more medical knowledge and understanding than both of us combined.

In the same way as Mr. Brainworm, I might add.

What the English speaking news will tell you about the trouble we have here with “right wing protesters” would lead you to the same conclusions. Like they’re trying to normalise the opinion of fucking scum

What they won’t usually point out: Steven Yaxley-Lennon leads groups of 90s hooligan “firms” (whose sole reason for existence is football violence) around lLondon trying to pick fights with the police under the guise of a “right wing protest”.

Yaxley-Lennon is better known by his carefully crafted persona “Tommy Robinson”. Even the name is chosen to evoke a certain patriotic feeling in… “Certain generations” (Pensioners, mostly).

He’s a bell end. He’s always been a bell end. I had the dubious pleasure of meeting him when I was working as a games press outfit’s tech monkey over a decade ago at Gamescom in Cologne.

Every other word out of his mouth was a business buzzword, he’s smarmy and smug, my skin crawled the whole time he was present.

It looks like he’s as high on his own farts now as he was back then.

Common sense takes are always buried 6 replies deep, I find.

Literally an illegal alien, and they refuse to see it.
