It low-key reads like one of those "lonely singles in your area" ads.

Wouldn't that be wonderful, so see the greatest brain-drain in human history. Couldn't happen to nicer people.

Actual free market at work, as opposed to the shit we have in the U.S.

Come to Germany! We do everything like the US, but with a 4 year delay and 10% less intense! Relive your memories of when your homeland went down the drain!

I feel like the 4 year delay is gonna hit it's threshold and start surpassing the US. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like Germany has the populous to shift very quickly. Now that the US is full Fascism I feel like Germany just got the acceleration card equipped. Which will also influence the rest of the west and Americans to hit the "kill all Muslims" button as hard as they can.

Starting with "Hamas/Palestine/Antisemitism" as the justification.

I would say that the politically widespread "unwavering support" for a nation very overtly because of their dominant ethnicity, including whilst they're commiting a Genocide along ethnic lines themselves (the kind of thing one would naivelly expect Germans to be especially disgusted at), proved beyond any doubt that Racism in Germany is alive & well all across the political spectrum, from the supposed "left" of the Greens all the way to the far-right.

(AfD really is just the same mindset with the addition of "If it's good to unwaveringly support them no matter what they do, then it's also good for us")

Sadly whilst the symbols were forbidden, the way of thinking about other human beings (of seeing people as members of ethnicities and judging and treating them differently depending on ethnicity) that was the foundation for Nazism never actually died in Germany, they just changed who the ubermenschen and untermenschen are and don't actually say those words out loud.

I still have the hope that people see the trainwreck the US is now and go "oh shit", and try to avoid it

The reaction to Brexit in the rest of the EU - where almost from one month to the next people's support for the idea of leaving the EU crashed to less than half as much as shown in various polls at the time - gives me hope that what Trump is doing in America is actually crushing the chances of his ideology in the rest of the World.

This seems to already be happenning in Canada (we will know for sure once the result of their upcoming elections is out).

In summary, I think there is good reason to hope that the result in the rest of the World of the Fascist Far-Right taking over a high-profile country like the US will be either the crushing of the Far-Right or it very explicitly distancing itself from the kind of ideology espoused by Trump - in other words, that America, just like Britan with Brexit, is really and unwittingly taking one for the rest of us.

Half the country is fighting to run towards the trainwreck...

Is this why Elon is pushing for anti-immigration parties in the EU? He doesn't want people to leave?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago

Of course he doesn't want people to leave, how can he be king if all his serfs leave?
