Hungrytiger ( @Hungrytiger@beehaw.org ) English21•1 year agoMay the Meloni government crumble as soon as possible
trevron ( @trevron@beehaw.org ) English14•1 year agoBummer. I always expect European countries to be more reasonable than the states but I guess bigotry is everywhere.
Mnglw ( @mnglw@beehaw.org ) English27•1 year agopeople don’t like to acknowledge it, but what happens in the state has a knock on effect here in the EU. It empowers our rightwing fucks to steal the same tactics that worked in the US and start them here
That means we’ll always be behind as those tactics need time to simmer but the news already helps by reporting on what happens over there, reactionaries take that and run with it. They tried that in my country recently with the drag stuff, thankfully their protest failed
yall over there don’t exist in a vacuum, sadly
edit: also don’t forget there’s already a nice breeding ground over here. The nazis were European after all
heartlessevil ( @heartlessevil@lemmy.one ) English11•1 year agoThe Nazis based their eugenics philosophy on Americans treatment of Black and indigenous people, its always been this way
Mnglw ( @mnglw@beehaw.org ) English4•1 year agoYea that’s fair, but I’m pointing out that we had the nazis to show that, no, Europe is in fact Not Better

trevron ( @trevron@beehaw.org ) English4•1 year agoI guess with the pervasiveness of the “stupid americans” mentality that a lot of europeans vocalize prepared me to expect differently.
I moved to Norway fairly recently and the amount of pro-Trump morons over here has also been a bit surprising.
Dislodge3233 ( @Dislodge3233@feddit.de ) English10•1 year agoIt’s really not much better. Netherlands is better than Florida, but California is better than Poland. A couple of years ago, a gay man was burned alive in Latvia. Hungry was declared to be a non democracy.
Don’t underestimate the shit hole capacity of Europe.
Italy has a history with fascism… and some leaders in Italy’s government are Mussolini stans still to this day.
