Compared to the usa they're doing the shit that got us here. Amplifying state power to crack down on dissent eventually leads to someone who will use it getting it

Yes, but my point is that most big EU countries aren't much better. Germany is getting a right-wing government that's already threatening left-leaning NGOs and is explicitly anti-immigration, France is well-known for being violent against protestors (though at least their protesters don't fuck around, either) and is making encrypted chat illegal, and while I'm not hearing much out of Italy, they do have a right-wing government as well so I'm not holding my breath on that, either. Poland recently ditched their authoritarian government, but it could easily make a comeback next election. Spain seems cool though.
