I get it. But also we are occupied by ice right now. We are spending a majority of our time resisting at the community level. Helping our neighbors from being abducted, monitoring ice, protesting.
If you hurt yourself and hurt a friend, your friend may understand the first few times it happens, but after a while the “I’m hurting myself too!” excuse may not be enough for them to remain your friend.
Sorry if I’d like ANY response to the attacks on trans people across Europe, the UK, Canada, and plenty of other places.
I want people out there like the Black Panthers, too. I want Europe to divest themselves from the American military industrial complex. I want to watch American companies who support and enable these fascists see their profits shrivel up as the economy collapses. I want to watch Google and Facebook and Twitter burn.
But all I hear from Europeans on here is how all Americans are fascists for not being in open war with the regime while fascism tightens its grip on your own right-wing parties, and I’m sick of it. If you’re not proactive, you’ll be in the same boat as us. Italy had fascist gangs attacking people in the streets a few years back. We used to say “it could never happen here” when reading about Nazi Germany and wondering just how they could let it happen. And then it did happen here. Now you’re the ones saying it.

Italy’s current governing party is declaredly fascist. It still hasn’t done anything as bad as the US government had been doing before Trump, never mind after. Nonetheless, there’s been multiple general strikes during their mandate, protests, and so on. Our ports were blocked in protest of the Gaza war, something we have WAY less influence on than you guys do, and those protests in my city drew the biggest crowd I’d ever seen at such an event.
Are we perfect? No. Should we do more? Yes. But please don’t put us on the same level. All I hear from Americans is “oh no, I’ll lose my job and starve on the street”, but I live in a country where the average salary is half that of the US, with electricity two times as expensive and fuel almost three times as expensive compared to the US, so well, sorry if I don’t fully empathise.

Italy INVENTED fascism, we’ve been fighting it for a century, it was born out of opposition to communism, and it wasn’t eradicated at the end of WWII because our new overlords, the US, were just as afraid of communism as our previous ones, so yeah, we know, we’re working on it, we’ve been for a long time.

Ok, I guess, even though you’re the one making the claim lol
Housing in Italy is projected to cost $1,070 per month on average, for a total of $1,970 per month on average for overall cost of living.
For some reason that site doesn’t have figures for all of the USA, but on average, costs are higher in the USA both for housing and overall cost of living.
Sorry if we’d like some firmer response to your country attacking our economy and threatening invasion

Apologies that it’s not meeting your standards.
He’s attacking our economy too. I know we could be protesting harder, but we’re also trying to survive.

Fair enough.
Isn’t that even more reason though?

I asked for yours, not ours. I know ours. Btw you just cited a monthly cost of living that’s higher than the average monthly salary.
Well, you got both. You’re welcome.
And yeah, join the club lol
