Yeah, you’re right. And the worst part is that many of us saw this coming a decade ago. The techno-fascism, the race for AI, the new wars. They’ve been telegraphing it. But Europe is all about culture war and immigration.
Progressives are dejected. We just shake our heads, complain, and let it happen. We need grassroots organization but nobody believes it can be done. We’re too small to change anything, so let’s just let the devils run amok and destroy the only planet we have.
That’s a good way to put it. It feels like Europe is in its post Obama era. Like you didn’t go through Woke 1.0 and purge all the radlib culture war stuff from any of the left.
I guess it makes sense that when I talk to Europeans that are “left” it feels like I’m back in 2015 trying to explain to liberals that Clinton is a war monger that will lose to Trump and they’re just calling me sexist.
I think the Ukraine invasion by Russia really broke a lot of brains and fueled nationalism as well. But mentioning that to Europeans just makes them label you “pro Putin”. It’s the same “I can’t hear what you’re saying” response I got back in 2015 in America.
