Australians: "Hwell, we're not like the US"

Me: (surveying giant carpark full of giant cars all huddled round the entrance so they don't get a teensy tiny drop of rain on em on the way to big, square, bland mall full of Product™) "Hmnyerrss but also no"

To be fair, you are a bit different. Less diverse, for a start.

Yt Euros v excited today with the news that instead of the nasty US death weapons made by terrible fascists, they'll be usin happy EU health weapons, particularly aircraft, such as those made by such groups as, say, Airbus. Made up of companies that formed out of the superseded Messerschmitt, Dornier, Daimler and so on. At the US's initial behest, of course.

Yeah.

Lots of "We want Europe to remain strong and not be weak" rhethoric.

Uh huh.

And the same sortsa ppl who had no problem with EU weapons bein used in Africa, W/Asia, etc.

Mm. Hm.

Oh, and big-upping French nuclear subs. and ICBMs.

Neato.

Still. I'm sure just like with the US, the EU's warcrimes will be charged accordingly in (checks notes) ah.

Y'know, I think I can see a slight conflict of interest here.

@skinnylatte Oh god I've encountered em enough out in fleshspace. The level of eugenical mindset in Europe is vastly underestimated.

It's funny that so many Europeans bitch about people in the US on here, given the most annoying ppl on here are yt ppl from Europe.

There. I said it.

Oh that's right. Descendents of ppl who only just recently learnt that stickin vegetable oil on yerself in the sun is a foolish decision.

It's only 30C but the sun is beatin like fuck down on the wall in front of me and who designs these damn houses?

If you think I'm joking, then you have not met yt Bri'ish ppl.

European: "Actually I know a lot about Africa..."

Congratulations. You know something about a continent that has nearly a fifth of the planet's population, covers a fifth of the landmass of the Earth, and contains a quarter of its nation-states.

Have a medal shaped like a cookie on top of a fuckin obelisk.

Remember how well that went last time?

Oh, no. That's right. You only react when they're loud US fascists. The quiet 'polite' 'sophisticated' ones that stayed in Europe are okay by you.

Fuckin lawncare association politics.

The fact that Germany just voted en masse for fuckin fascists and much of Europe just went (shrug) really shows the zeitgeist is still "Welp, if it don't affect me directly, fuck em"

@skinnylatte Like, the fact at no point did she go "Y'know what? I should absolutely just stop talking right this minute" is astounding levels of yt.

I hate that attitude in any colony. Like, "omg how did it get this bad" helloooo nation-state built on pure evil ffs

Dear US liberals: the US don't actually need Russia to fuck its shit up for it. The fucked-upness is built in. Hence why all the money has enslavers on it.

The more you fuckin learn, eh?

This is also how docklands go from bein shady as fuck (and a lot more interesting) to somewhere you'd have to pay USD50 for a cup of fuckin coffee.

Remembering that I've ended up in places that have turned out to be incredibly trendy by complete accident. This happens when you're a poor person livin in a big city, so you catch that bit where stuff starts to take off but the gentrifiers will only visit it with a distateful look but not deign to live there cause of being massive postcode snobs.

Until it becomes 'up and coming real estate'

Belligerent assholery as a force for good.

To conserve culture so that it endures after some bastard has worked hard to destroy it and keep it down for generations is a victory.

Omg that Gathara piece in The Continent about the inaugration with the parochial voice that the eurocentrics use is absolute (chef's kiss) everything. Check it out.

"While still considered the lynchpin nation of the Caucasian bloc..."

Howling! I am howling.

It'd be nice if all the bad shit that goes on in the US got noticed and acted on more often than just when some GOP asshole is in charge.

"Oh, shit, Murikkka is..."

Horrible? Built on the pure evils that are the speciality of colonial empires funded by joint stock companies and extreme cruelty and atrocity? Still talking about evil bastards like Jefferson and Washington as if they was gods rather than demons (worse than that, just really evil evil fuckin humans) as every dollar spent on propping up that hubris infested empire budded from the eurocolonialism that spawned it on land that was never theirs with labour without consent or payment with the effects felt *to this very day* has the faces of them monsters printed on em? Evidently very comfortable with the fascism that grows like a toxin in the colonial petri dish that never gets smashed? In dire need of being demolished and redesigned by the ppl it marginalises the most 24/7? Yeah. Pretty much.
