I don't know much about Europe, but I do have some friends in Italy who just seem-- comically inflamed by everything much like what goes on in the US.
Is there a pattern there or do I just have crazy friends?
- CRConrad 5y agoI'd say it's a pattern; people up here in the north of Europe are often also rather inflamed by what goes on in the USA. Not that I see anything peculiar in that; I am often inflamed by it, too. What feels weird to us is more how so many Americans aren't enraged by many things that happen over there.
- oceanghost 5y agoI have tried for a few hours now to try to formulate a reasonable expository response to your reply, but I think its just beyond explanation... one might invoke the phrase "ineffable." As an American-- there are plenty of very real "conspiracies" (our banking system, our medical system, our economic system, Jeffery Epstein) that are completely ignored while a substantial portion of our populace tilts at (imagined) windmills. I have no explanation other than that, a significant sub-population of our people must be absolute morons.
