When something like this happens in the US, the general European internet response is to shake their heads about how the US is becoming literal Nazis and Europe is superior (one example: the current most popular comment chain in this thread.) When something like Chat Control, mandatory cellular location recording devices in cars, anti-encryption laws, elimination of the right to protest in the UK, etc happens, the American response is to shake their heads and do much the same. I don't find that productive. That sort of division is toxic. And the broader strategy - provoking us to hate our brothers across the Atlantic - has long been a core strategy of the enemies of Western civilization.
