Sorry America

[Felya]

I have no doubt she would be challenged on every single step she tries to make toward authoritarianism.

Can you explain this? I've never thought of cutting off my nose, because I have gauze to prevent too much bleeding.

Right wing politicians always encountered fierce opposition when making any decision that was related with law enforcement and handling of protests

Current president, which is a member of the self described Socialist Party, spend his 5 years using the police as a repression tool on protesters (people lost eyes, some even died, a few weeks ago a black young man got raped with a police combat stick) and passing super shady surveillance laws as well as renewing the emergency status several times to gain advantages of the civil liberties upholding it features.

It is a sad fact, and part of why i made this thread : people are that dumb, they don't give a shit when those who call themselves the left do it.
I'd rather have someone perceived as *literally hitler* because people will fight it. 5 other years of corporation-backed machiavelism and we might as well give up privacy and the right to protest

I hate America but also thank you for saving me from the Russians. There wouldn't even be a Europe today if it wasn't for you guys!

Is "hating" America just something edgy to say, or do you have specific reasons other than hyperbole?

Well, there are so many many things that I love about America, but now that you ask;

1. I hate that everything on American television seems so fake and staged and over the top. Especially because certain tv-networks in my own country are trying to be the same.
2. I hate the way you glorify celebrities and rich people. Hollywood actors aren't that good.
3. I hate the arrogance, so many Americans don't know anything about the rest of the world. All you know is that America saved
the planet in WW2.
4. I hate all the stupid christian nutbags. Waaaay to many of those.

If I was American though, I would probably be exactly the same. And If I may say again, I am aware that all of Europe would be Russia right now if it wasn't for you.

They don't have an American right wing candidate. The closest is le pen and she still is a Democrat by American standards. France is THAT far too the left.

Or America is that far right.

Anyone who thinks that Russia funding the right wing fringe in order to destabilise Western democracies is a uniquely American thing hasn't been paying much attention.

It was not the first time and certainly will not be the last.

And there wouldn't be an America without Europe.

Hell if it wasn't for the French, Americans would be speaking English right now!

Yes, the mega-corps are taking these elections very seriously, and the mega-cheating is real.
