I would not call what france people are doing “spineless” and even the (IMO) the most spineless of europe (Italians) burned down at least 1 building and are protesting, sud italian farmers even refused to work and are blocking roads with some mayors supporting 'em
I didn’t mean to generalize to all of europes population. Mainly its governments. And mainly germans. But also most of german citizens. We REALLY like to follow orders. It’s like a fetish. So what’s happening in france would never happen here. Especially not with that severity. Maybe to an extend localized in some areas like berlin and maybe parts of hamburg.
Overall the sentiment here is that most people are appalled by the violence and feel sad for that beautiful building that was burned down. And that’s about it.
Well I mean, at the moment at least it seems that European protests against the current regimes are burning down city halls while the Americans are busy dancing with cop-approved parameters and building human sculptures that say “vote”. But then again, until either of these areas goes through a communist revolution I’ll call neither less pathetic or spineless population than the other.
Albanians seem to be burning more than French atm. Given enough time capitalism will drive us all up a wall, into war and to concentration camps. It’s only natural.
We’re about as American as we are African like the South African colonial settlers who tried to appropriate the term African to refer to themselves but failed.
I’d say we as Europeans live in a culture that is Usianized to the extent of being unrecognizable from the original. Our leaders do what the Usians tell them to do, our institutions serve Usian interests, our militaries use Usian weapons. Our populations watch Usian movies and serials, read Usian books, follow Usian zeitgeists. We use Usian social media platforms, where Usian algorithms serve us Usian propaganda. We learn to speak American English in school, where they teach us the history of the world that is approved by Usians.
Glad you acknowledge it.
Plenty here get real defensive for pointing that out.
I guess we are slightly less indoctrinated into bootlicking the authoritarian state.
We don’t thank our regime troops for their service, our cops don’t get free stuff in shops, etc…
No comically large flags or killer jet fly overs at sports games either.
Europeans too. But we’re basically Americans also, so.
The most rabbid anti communist I know is French
a more pathetic and spineless version of americans. Especially germans.

the french really know how to protest. Their neighbours to the right not so much, though.

propagandized against communism? 100%
vassals of the US? same.
But “we’re basically Americans” is an insult I won’t take.
oh no!
at least some still have a fighting spirit.
and taste
I gotta hand you guys that, it does seem like there’s a limit to how much bullshit you’ll tolerate. We have yet to find that limit in the states.

well yeah, it seems the usians prefer to dance and vote. i’d rather celebrate local cultures on their own terms, not under US hegemony.
Then we need to kick these bootlicker EU ‘leaders’ or nato cucks like Rutte out with the US invaders.
we’d also need a way to fight against homegrown fascism after that, but a good first step. tear down nato and the eu
