It's worthwhile to ask why so much of humanity is falling for this con right now. I suspect climate and a deep, even subconscious fear of there not being enough, of scrambling for survival against our neighbors. Whatever is it, looking at America or Britain or even Russia and chalking up all the problems to the low character of the people isn't going to get you ready for this era of turmoil. Look for solidarity, never give up on human rights, even for Americans.

@quinn@social.circl.lu Not unique, but your version is more destructive than any other. And yes, the rest of the globe can hold each and every US (non)voter accountable for that - you let it happen in your place. Sweden has its share of issues, today and historically, but it's been centuries since that mattered outside Sweden. You guys, and the citizens of other hyper-/superpowers, are accountable today. Own it. Fix it. We will help as we can.

@quinn@social.circl.lu A lot of our European far right wingers are funded by Americans like the Heritage Foundation and the Koch Brothers - so this is a global problem with its roots in America. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/the-american-dark-money-behind-europes-far-right/

@quinn@social.circl.lu yes, agreed. it's been about eight years since we first asked ourselves "why is this happening in the US faster and more intensely than in other places" we came up with "the US is (at the time) economically and militarily influential, so it's the highest-priority target for disinformation and all that" we did not like that answer AT ALL
