Gods, this is so accurate. A part of me wish we could just isolate the U.S. for a bit, because I'd be curious to see how that'd affect the discourse in the rest of the world. The rise of the far right and Trump legitimately being voted in as president legitimised the far-right movements in my country as well. Last election people were literally pushing for the stop-and-frisk BS to become a thing here.

I hate that I know what stop-and-frisk even is.

We need a new internet, without shootings and two party politics!

[-] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

But with blackjack and hookers!

[-] HerbalGamer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

[-] Wats0ns@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

Yup, they're bringing the whole world down with them

You're just jealous it's not Europe's job anymore.

On the bright side, if civilization doesn't collapse we'll eventually all get to complain about why the news is Chinese politics 24/7

Task failed successfully

Like the rest of the worlds shit is any better. Right wing facists are on the rise everywhere. Ours are just fucking stupider.

Italy facists, brexit, climate, etc fucking whole world is a dumpster.

I'm not saying European politicians are fundamentally better, I'm just saying it's been a while since one of them got their mugshot taken for going to jail under election fraud charges 🤷

[-] zurchpet@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Some of them would deserve that treatment too, I'm sure.

None of them was president though

[-] zaphod@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they tend to be prime ministers instead, looking at you Orban.

[-] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Russia and Belarus are a part of Europe too...

[-] rambaroo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think we're happening in Poland and Hungary is worse then the US

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh I agree, hence the “ours are stupider” comment :D

[-] NecessaryWeevil@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

Every time I mentioned Trump on Reddit’s world news sub, I got shouted down for talking about “irrelevant” US politics. I tried to explain his potential impact on the politics of other countries, but they didn’t want to hear it.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Trump was important for the rest of the world when he was... you know... the president of the US... now it's just a little mediocre guy and I understand that all the little advances in bringing him to justice are pretty important to you guys, but I couldn't care less.

If he ever gets elected again for some reason, then we will see the potential impact, but for now he is pretty irrelevant im afraid.

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He wasn't legitimately voted in, though.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

In 2016? I would’ve loved to see Hillary be President but that’s not what we got.

[-] nuxetcrux@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

By the gods, were it to be so!

I would too so enjoy if, as if from some casement unseen, a pair of disembodied, godly hands were to reach down shoo away those br-r-rown masses from Albion and her sisters, to keep them pure!

It is a crime against Balthūre that they invented fascism in 2016!

In the meantime, I will be feasting for this day!

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

If that happened, the rest of the world would still find a way to talk about the US the whole time.
