    I feel like it’s the responsibility of world leaders who claim to support to democracy to strongly condemn governments like the US that are being blatantly fascist as well as the systems that are strengthening its presence in their own countries. They’re the ones giving the Yanks a free pass by handling them with kid gloves!

      As a “yank”. Please! You are absolutely right. Europe likes to maintain these “ideas” of international law and they love to condemn America. But unless there is actual material action against it it’s doing nothing but pretending that the crimes of America and Israel aren’t “bad enough yet”. And I don’t feel like they will ever reach that threshold. It’s finger wagging and nothing else.

        The victims are in Gaza, Venezuela, Cuba, Ukraine, and countless other non European countries. Europeans aren’t victims of American empire. Cry me a fucking river. Europeans are beneficiaries of American empire. You don’t get to wash your hands of it when it starts dying and is run by fascist.

        Some of us are fighting it in America. The least you can do is stop pretending that some economic instability makes you a fucking victim.
