It seems you’re still steeped in Atlanticist propaganda, where the US is the shining city on the hill, spreading freedom around the world, despite the fact that the US itself is a plutocracy of the capitalist class that is aiding and abetting a Palestinian genocide right now. Europeans need to come to terms with the fact that we’re the baddies.

If only my American compatriots could see that we are, too. Beside us, Europe looks a bit better in that you seem to imprison fewer and have better health care and education, but seems to be playing catch up.
