      This really is the American liberal in a nut shell: “at least our monstrous war criminal had class!”

        They don’t care about genocide or anything that’s outside their navelstaring country.
        Yesterday the libs complained about an anti-genocide post here bcs they used X.
        The blue MAGA battle against red MAGA is way more important to them.
        All they want is to go back to their bubble of ‘democracy’ where they keep the fascism for their foreign policy.

            Thanks for your whataboutism.
            If by ‘Europeans’ you mean our sell out US vasal governments and EU leaders then sure, they aren’t any better.
            But that’s not the people.
            Unlike the supporters of the fascist-lite wing of their uniparty perfectly willing to ignore this inconvenient genocide as long as they win.
            So besides those 2 huge factions that form the bulk of your population there’s not much left is there?
            So we aren’t as scummy as you all out of pure self-interest.
            You can mislabel that as a superiority complex if that helps you sleep.

              Oh please, I am eur*pean and live in eur*pe. The people here are exactly like this. Our sell out US vassal goverments get cheered on loudly for throwing more and more public money into the US MIC to arm nazis in Ukraine, for cracking down on “antisemitism” (by silencing “antisemitic” jews e.g.). Thanks for being such a nice example of what I’m talking about.

              We are owned by the US true, but it’s not like there is resistance against it. And we will have to answer for our crimes when our time comes.

                You’re right about most of it but in no way our population would support sending arms to Shitrael or send soldiers to shoot unarmed people trying to get food.
                That is a totally different level.
                Sure they get propagandised but when it’s this obvious they can see what’s happening.
                And so can the americans, yet they still choose to vote for them just to get their win no matter what.
                We are not the same.

                  I dont know which part of Europe you’re in but there isn’t really any noticeable resistance to our support of the Occupation Regime Of West PAlestine here in germ*ny. Freedom protests get like a dozen people and thats it. Granted Genocidesmany is the most whipped dog right after TERF island but I’ve not heard any better news from any other so-called country. Some resistance in Greece to orowpean tourists, Lefty Italian football fans doing cool chants but thats pretty much it. The Freedom protests in Seppoland were way bigger with sit-ins at unis and everything.

                    It could be a lot better with more people showing up that’s for sure.
                    But even I, who follow stuff about it sometimes see mass events online that I didn’t know of simply bcs the complicit regime news doesn’t report on it.
                    And in Germany the pigs are especially bad, seen the images of them arresting a granny and peoting up people many times.
                    Same in Holland, and they also come to protesters home to intimidate them.
                    All this scares people from going, which is their aim.
                    I’m going to one tonight, it’s the minimum peole with a soul can do.

                That’s not being more specific.

                There’s 47 countries in Europe. Each with its own foreign policy.

                Saying “the europeans aren’t any better” makes no sense.

                That’s like saying “the South Americans aren’t any better”, “the Africans aren’t any better” or “the Asians aren’t any better”.

                Who are you talking about?

                    It’s not semantics if views on what’s happening in Gaza are wildly different depending on which European country you’re talking about.

                    A blanket term doesn’t work.

                  Europe is not of the size of South America, Africa or Asia. Neither in land mass nor in amount of people. Talking about euro “culture” is as specific as talking about seppo “culture”, if not more so. I’m sure you’d have no problem talking about Indian culture, and they are even bigger than europe, with more diverse cultures.

                    We’re not talking about culture, we’re talking about foreign policy.

                    There’s 740 million people in Europe (more than South America) spread across 47 independent countries.

                    And Europe includes countries that are Allies of the US, Enemies of the US, as well as Neutral countries.

                    So again, you’ll have to be more specific.
