Right now, wherever you are, there are people paid by the USA trying their best to make your life worse in order to
So yeah, there is no escape from America. That's the whole point of being the global hegemon.
I don't think enough people noticed the Trump regime's demands that EU destroy their own healthcare just so theirs could look, well, not better but less terrible by comparison.
This is not a joke. These people will absolutely do everything they can to rob the few nations on this Earth that manage to take care of their citizens to the point they're all beholden to the same crime lord family.
Yeah, do not even for a second entertain the notion that European companies wouldn't love it if your health insurance were held hostage by your employment like it is in the USA.
The truth of the matter is European quality of life has been coasting on the gains made in the past by the blood and sweat of the unions and the concessions made by the governments to stave off the specter of communism. Billionaires in the US are seeing this slice of wealth and are coming for it via the populist right-wing parties in every country. If anyone can get this fact through the thick skull of anti-immigrant voters, let me know.
Yeah I've been in a few places around Europe, and it really seems that in Western Europe, labour movements made big gains in like the 1970s and neolib governments have been squandering that ever since, and we are nearing the point where it all turns fash.
Good thing Trump's absolutely destroyed any kind of international leverage the United States had. That's the one silver lining to all of this: The USA has been on a steady path to fascism for a while, accelerating under Republicans and slowing down under Democrats but never reversing. However, now that you've gone fully mask-off you did it under the leadership of an outright moron, who's making it much harder for Americans to drag the rest of the world down with them.
Mexican here, and absolutely. The USA is menacing with tariffs each month even with a treaty signed by the POTUS himself. Who, btw, has a boner for sending troops to "help" us combat drug cartels that are somehow related to the DEA, the CIA, the FBI, or the WTFK. Recently, they sent a green-beret warhawk as ambassador. The US embassy in Mexico is the biggest in the world and it had participated in magnicides and coups. So, yeah, the classic American state is dying, but its death will be an authentic superbowl of a shitshow.
You shouldn't be sleeping soundly. Most of you are only a few steps behind us on the same path.
Yeah since everything is tied to the fucking dollar and whatever America does affects us all it's not really surprising.
We'll see if that shifts, perhaps the usd stability is coming to an end.
I’ve found the USA to have some of the nicest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Probably some of these people have been lead down dark voting paths, against their own, and the world’s, best interests. All we can really hope for is enough people speak sense persuasively enough for them to hear it. And that means being understanding, empathetic and tolerant.
This comment is a breath of fresh air in this doomer echo chamber. Somewhere along the line people stopped wanting to fix things and now the people we need to save this country are leaving in droves. We need to remain positive and organized.
We're trying to convince them, and so far none of them are listening.
Families all over the US and Canada are being torn apart. I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime, and I'm not a young man...
I fear greatly not just for my own country, but for the damage that will be done to the entire world if we can't stop this.
I live in America. It's 2 AM and I just awoke from a nightmare wherein I was running from the govt. My wife, dog, and I were in hiding at my home, with friends occupying the place to help us stay hidden. But a drone spotted me. I shot it down, but we had 10 minutes to pack what I could into a short yellow schoolbus (which quickly became a British double-decker) and take off before agents showed up to capture or kill us.
By the way, I'm a white male, married to a white woman, and by all outside appearances, cis and "normal". Probably one of the most protected classes in America right now. And even I'm having nightmares about where our country is headed and when it'll be "my turn."
I woke up, picked up my tablet, and this was the top post in my feed. 😣
I dream of the day that we make America a place that OP would like to visit.
Thats what i thought before 2 pro-Trump fascists almost won the election in my country
The xenophobic "haha americans are so stupid/evil" attitude I've been seeing as of years ago all over Reddit and now even more intensly on Lemmy is making me very worried that people aren't gonna recognize the same disinformation that led to all this when its served to them...
I don't believe Americans and Europeans are as different as a lot of people seem to think. Or maybe I got dumber and more naive since my teenage years.
It's all fun and games watching the crazy people do crazy things across the pond until you remember the crazy people have nukes and the biggest idiot of them all has the launch codes. Sleep well tonight!
As if Europe didn't have one demented moron routinely threatening everyone with nukes for years now. 🌚
Bobby, if those kids could read, they’d be very upset.
I wouldn't get too cozy over there. We'll just end up bringing America to you :) Sleep soundly
I didn’t choose to be born here and wish I was born somewhere where I wasn’t constantly fearing for what tomorrow could bring. But since I was born here I have to figure out a way to navigate this shit show of a country till I can flee
Dont worry if you dont live in the USA the USA will come to you..
Or so the new native american saying goes.
Sleep in a house you own? Can't relate
When I was a dumb kid, I really wanted to come and live in the US. I managed to visit it twice.
I will never ever go again. 🤞
Lucky bastard, can you like abduct me or something?
If you don't come to America, America comes to you.
The problem is that so many of us INSIDE the US still sleep like that, especially the ones who match homer’s kind of “dopey white middle aged boomer dad who raised a family on a single factory job” demographic.
I match some of those demographics, like the dopey white middle aged USAmerican dad raising a family with his one income. I don’t match him in other areas because I am an over-educated tech worker living in an old cheap blue collar neighborhood to make it happen in current day.
I am extremely unhappy and embarrassed about just about every single thing that has my country is in the news, to say the least. It makes me sad and worried for the entire world. Giving a shit about other people while evil morons are grabbing power will do that to you.
But for people who look like me and don’t follow what’s going on in the world or care about other people? My day to day real life in my local physical environment is comfortable and privileged as hell, and so is a lot of theirs.
Combine that with our culture where a “successful” life is constant stress over the rat race and keeping up with the Joneses, so that you are worried about making the payments on your luxury SUV rather than whether your government is destroying people you don’t know while funneling your resources to people who already have 1000x more than you.
I am actually moving away in Aug…
The states is a 3rd world country man, been one for a while if it even is one
Our number one export is our brain rot. Soon :tm:
Thinking about the USA right now too much doesn't lead to any good sleep for me at all right now. Because there's bad things happening to good people there. I feel awful for the actual decent people that share a country with cruel and dogmatic clowns. People who probably live next door to someone who voted to ensure their rights get taken away and their lives become even more miserable.
I honestly struggle to come to terms with the fact so many people are still so cruel and backwards. It's not the stupidity that's the main problem, it's the malicious intent and desire to turn everyone into a goose stepping clone. And how easily people are turned into goose stepping clones. Conned by reality stars and drug addicted tech bros, what a joke. I think it's part stupidity and part the fact that these people really are just malicious assholes, so they could've been convinced into this by a talking toilet brush mascot.
I feel sorry for the intelligent and empathic, and the people who dare to live lives that are true to themselves without dogma who have to live in a country with the stupid and selfish, and the people who want to impose their narrow minded puritanical views onto everyone else with force and cruelty.
I'll be sleeping like a baby when the goose stepping clowns are all dying of some easily preventable disease that they could've vaccinated for but right now there's nothing comforting about what's going on there.
I would like to visit the USA. There's still a lot of good people there and I'm sure lots of things to do & enjoy. Preferably at a time when that orange bastard isn't around trying to burn everything to the ground.
Ignoring the policial climate, it really is a lovely country with diverse subcultures, multitudinous biomes, and regional cuisines & local delicacies in every corner.
But for the time being, please stay safe and don't take the risk.
The only difference between the US and Canada is how far along the path you are. There's a reason your government gives standing ovations to literal Nazis
