- BLKNSLVR 3y agoThat's the funny thing about tribalism, it's just a different flavour of the same base human corruptibility (or, to use less aggressive wording: opinion, bias, or subjectivity). The US is no better or worse than Europe, it's just a different alignment of values. The "better or worse" argument is based entirely on each individual's alignment being closer or further away from one alignment or the other. This will come from personal experience, highly affected by the boundary the individual grew up within - which can affect can ones biases in both directions.

- tremon 3y agoNeither did it not happen, it is only postponed and not shut down. These things will keep coming back until there are real consequences for tin-pot dictators pushing despotic legislation (and no, I'm not advocating for violence, I want them to be forced to publicly resign their post).
