Right, and a constitution that allows that to even happen has also failed. The American system was supposed to be somewhat elitist and prevent wild populism. So it didn't do that. It failed. Perhaps related to the overly permissive

> the people who created the conditions for him are responsible It's just a truism though isn't it? Everything in the past is responsible for what is the current state of things. You can say it but it has next to no meaning

It's mostly Trump though. Trump is responsible for his actions.

If you don’t like it you don’t have to use it. Freezing Wikipedia in 2017 would be pretty bad really.

America stole British IP in the 19th century. Get over it.

Or build more housing there.

Density isn’t necessarily misery. I live in a dense city in Europe and would pick it over American/canadian shithole sprawl any day of the week. Also, no, we definitely aren’t saying the same thing you and I.

It’s still a housing shortage problem if what houses there are, are situated where people don’t want to live.

It’s not one specific problem, it’s the defining problem.

I’m alright thanks.

Where did you go to? Like I said for all the flaws of London and the UK (and I agree there are many), Europe is largely comparatively shit too. I live in Germany’s richest city and it’s also quite shit and everything is falling apart and

They could just raise taxes. Detonating a bomb under the global financial system just to avoid raising taxes is still stupid. Trump is stupid.

I have lived in Germany for 5 years but am from the UK and I don't see much difference overall. The UK is just a bit more individualistic, much less racist, and has London, which has the highest wages in Europe. Germany has less inco

It has the same problems of having an ageing population as the rest of Europe. Brexit is bad but relatively small in comparison to the demographic challenges. I live in Germany and it's in a sorry state too, because there are so many

Doesn't make any sense. Why tariff literally the whole world? Is the UK really a conduit for Chinese products into the US? If it is then the tariffs on the UK should be 104% like with China. If not then it should be 10%. If China

The UK has the same problems the rest of Europe has. It’s not special.

The us has shot itself in the head, china is shooting itself in the foot.

The US is in a far worse state than those countries you listed sans Hungary. What doesn’t help of course is that the US seems determined to export American fascism back over the Atlantic.

Hmm thought you were paraphrasing but he literally said it. He’s pardoning him because he paid lol. America is really no longer a western country.

I don't know, it seems pretty clear to me that it's the US that has departed Western civilisation and become just another repressive country with a big military like Russia or China. To some extent it's fine if you want becom

In the eyes of Europe you are most certainly aligned more with russia than with us now. Just a traitor country.

Yep still looks like a Hitler salute to me, to be honest. > I guess you all have never seen an autistic person make unusual gestures I'd never seen an autistic person do a Hitler salute before to be honest, until Elon Musk did one.

I really don't see the point in all that money if you end up cucking yourself anyway. These tech billionaires who were doubtlessly complete losers growing up are in fact still losers when they're among the most powerful people on

Literally nothing “of course” about it.

It’s the US that is divorcing from Europe, not the other way around. The US has seemingly decided to betray Western civilisation and become just another barbaric shithole like Russia and Iran.

The US is throwing Europe and Ukraine under the bus to yet again try for a ridiculous reset with Russia and get some sort of Yalta 2.0. Just a few weeks ago your vice president came to Munich to argue that we need to work more with our fas

The US is a strange place for a rich country, though. I've only spent 6 weeks there and I've experienced a direct death threat, an indirect one, and some guy following me into a shop and then pushing me before leaving. That&#x27

People who don't listen to the Beatles usually don't even realise it when they're listening to the Beatles anyway, the younger you are the truer it is.
