As a European. I'm starting to hate the US. Not dislike. Hate.
For months I thought they can't possibly allow the orange clown to ruin their country any further. But the country is clearly spiralling out of control. And I'm starting to hate the whole culture.
Now if a part of the population did anything other than comment online. If they took to the streets or did anything substantial in protest. But no. Crickets. So to me, every US citizen is at least partly complicit.
For years, I already noticed I subconsciously did not like action movies that featured CIA / FBI / US Military anymore. And I gradually moved away from all US based infrastructure in my projects because it strategically made sense.
But these past weeks it tipped over in actual disgust. For me, there's no difference between the US, China and Russia anymore. The US will probably take Greenland. China will take Taiwan. Russia will take Ukraine.
And Europe needs to unite further and prepare for war, or risk being torn apart by the new axis of evil.

- spiderfarmer 10mo agoDon't ever let them tell you it can't be done.
- ajoseps 10mo agoThe No Kings protests are large and have been occurring over the last year. It’s disingenuous to imply the population is doing nothing but comment online. The US is a large country with the third largest population in the world. It’s not homogenous. Despite all that, it’s probably still prudent to decouple from the US.
- spiderfarmer 10mo agoOnly 1.2–1.8% of the U.S. population attended a No Kings Day event.
- benrutter 10mo agoI share your anger at the US' decent into authoritarianism, but 1.8% is nearly 1 in 50. That's pretty huge for a protest by most counts.
