Unlike America, we're not actually proud of it

The majority, one would hope.

but people forget.

There was marine le pen, there was the Canadian Freedom Convoy. There are parties like AfD. it amazes me that these things can exist, but perhaps it shouldn't. You may be well educated and empathetic but I guarantee many of your peers may not see the world the same way you do. There are people among you who understand this well enough and will take advantage.

the first step to becoming the devil is to be unable to imagine oneself sinking to the level of those they hate. please stay vigilant, it can happen to anybody

The Far-Right in Europe are having to portray people coming over her as bad for people living here to get support.

There is little or no public support in most of Europe, even amongst the Far-Right, for projecting European power abroad by attacking foreign countries.

Also you don't hear the Far-Right in Europe celebrating colonialism and demanding to go back to that. The few times some tried it just fell flat and they shut up about it (and as a side note, curiously the same happened when they tried American-style mixing of Religion with Politics)

Even the support for white supremacism abroad (in the form of Israel) is happening against the desires of the European public opinion and is definitelly not overtly about "our fellow whites" (and for those with any doubt that Isreal is a white supremacist nation, just go read how they treat black Jews over there according even to newspapers like the Haaretz)

Whilst the direction of travel in politics is the same in Europe and the US, the public opinion Europe is decades "behind" the American mindset in areas such as supremacism and warmongering.
