Okay, Europeans, when is someone gonna nut up and take these fascists out!?

  • An American
[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

We can't even take out our own fascists.....

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 weeks ago

And neither can they, apparently.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 weeks ago

They have been taken out over and over.

But democracy demands we let them try.

I think we are too far gone... If you can't do it with all the free weapons you have on hand, how do you think it's going to work in Europe? America and the rest of the world is equally screwed. Maybe some 3rd world countries will be fine as they have greater issues than "some" privacy concerns:)

Said the American who can't take Trump out.

People are always trying to off the president. It's literally the most dangerous job in the U.S. That fuck is just really lucky and persists at not rolling a seven

Stones and glass houses here a little bit mate

[–] SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 23 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it's poking fun at all the Europeans who say the same thing on here to every American.

Ah thanks for another interpretation. I often suck at this in text, so can I ask what makes you think that? I’m not doubting you, just trying to learn.

Is it the interrobang?

It's the identification as an american. Americans just assume everyone knows they're american, so it stands out as an obvious extremifier to point out its satirical nature.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's... More of an art than a science.

It's just a fairly common thing people say online about Americans. The comment in question says the exact same thing about Europeans AND specifies they're an American. Classic turnabout IMO.

Of course if you're not terminally online you might just not get the reference

With pleasure.

They have put down roots in the Brussels bureaucracy. Authoritarian theories are now dominant over democratic ones there. To weed them out, it would be necessary to elect leftist leaders who radically prefer leftist civil servants throughout Europe, which is now farther away from realisation than it has been for decades.
