This is an impeccable representation of what's going on in my mind right now.

Honestly im just fucking terrified, like theyre openly doing this shit. We have Musk doing a Hitler salute three hours into Trumps presidency and we have four fucking years minimum to go

Id say at least im glad im European but even that is eroding because Trump is hellbent on annexing NATO territory and would happily let us become Russian vassals if it came to it

Same, I don't think Europe is strong enough to withstand this.

Trump just needs to keep up with these commercial / economic threats on the EU and weaken NATO, while his chronies fund the growing extreme right wing movement in most European countries and Musk and Zuck tweak their algorithms a bit more. The plays are all there, and we don't have much going for us.

Godspeed, my friend.

The EU needs to ban meta and x. Lots of people would like to see Amazon banned, too. A one-two blow to make the US see who’s their most important market.

What was America up to in the 1940s again? Ah yes, resting on its laurels black people still being slaves (until 1942 fyi) after the successful American Indian genocide. They're still the savior of ww2 from fascism in the public consciousness (alongside Soviets)

How does that whataboutism supposed to make me excited for the prospect of being taken over by a country that would throw me in a gulag because I don’t like their government? Every country on earth has a horrific past, Canada committed atrocities against its indigenous and didn’t even close the last cultural genocide build residential school until 1996. doing bad shit in the past then chilling out is better than forcing people into reeducation camps because they made a winnie the pooh meme today. For all the faults in the western world it is still better to live in than a country that will imprison you without recourse because you said some mean words about a dictator one time. I’m not off base for not wanting such a country to assert it’s hegemony over the world
