A bit off topic, not the post's fault, I was frustrated already by reading comments. As a European, I'm kinda done hearing USAians opinions on what's happening in Europe (or most other countries really). The misinformation and bad assumptions about other countries seem to be so deeply ingrained in US culture that it's rarely worth the effort of responding to it.

Hexbear does better in general, but even here it's still frustratingly unending. momo-hah
