Comradeship // Freechat

It is going downhill just as fast. Far right parties haven taken over in many countries already. Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium are currently doing border checks despite being in Schengen. In The Netherlands you have impromptu militias doing border checks as well whose chats have been uncovered saying they want to get weapons and hope they find 'some brown ones'.

I cannot for the life of my find a house in my home country without paying at least 400-500k for a simple terraced house. Factories are actively poisoning the waters where I live and nobody does anything about it. Climate change is becoming noticeable as we are getting drier and hotter summers and warmer winters every year.

We're about to spend billions we don't have to fund the American military complex, bringing devestation to the social welfare system we have.

Just to name a few things. If the US goes down, Europe goes down with it if they don't make a change soon.

If it makes you feel better, the UK is threatening to come to the defense of the US as a NAFO member if Iran retaliates (and they sure will)

europe will go down faster economically don't worry.

Europeans won't "wake up", they'll just side with fascism.

I mean, I don't think there is anyone who posts about their lived experience around here more than @SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml, and quite a lot of it is about what total shit-holes Belgium and The Netherlands are like to live in. Given their posts, I get the impression it's just as bad, if not worse, than most places in the US.

So idk where you're getting the impression that the EU is some magic utopia, maybe you're just lucky enough to live in a more privileged class of your society? I know from personal acquaintances that they often never came into contact with less fortunate people due to how in Europe it's much more provincial, and not quite as Urban, so you're not always going to be made to confront the poverty and exploitation as viscerally as in other parts of the world.

I mean... isn't it? Maybe in different ways. But its still a mess.

I’ve been saying this for a while but Europeans get very defensive when you suggest that they aren’t the paragons of virtue that their mothers told them they are.
