Should we Europeans be grateful, really, when America became the superpower after that war, while our countries were left in ruins and dominated by America, which proceeded to encourage and facilitate mass immigration into our countries to replace us? No doubt Americans are brought up to believe that it was all charity and goodness, a sign of what a benign country America is. Perhaps, just as Europeans need to grow up and put away childish delusions, so do Americans.
Apparently this is part of a primary school in London. I love it.

The Scottish government has introduced a new way for "skilled" Africans (?!) to move to "rural and remote areas" around Scotland. Rapid destruction of an ancient country by any means.
Woke jumped the shark with the Biden Administration.
Populism is now jumping the shark with the second Trump Administration.

If someone kept a dog alive for five years with dementia, they would be prosecuted for animal cruelty. The common refutation to this is that it’s entirely different since humans are so different from animals. I don’t think that is a very convincing refutation. If anything, our consciousness and intellect make our suffering, and the fact of our relatives allowing us to suffer, even worse.

With the much more febrile environment in every Western country compared to 2015, the governments fostering this environment have no choice but to act. They simply can’t let their citizens speak freely - not now.
An extraordinary (but valid) criticism of King Charles by the former Chaplain to the Queen, Gavin Ashenden, calling the King a "traitor to his people" and fearing that civil war is coming to Britain in future.
This is the big cliché: Americans think their country is so important and special that they don’t need to know about any other place on Earth. Most of them don’t have passports and couldn’t point to the North Pole on a map, etc.
The thing is... America is that important. It is futile for Europeans to be outraged over what is simply a fact. Given America’s prominence and power, it would be strange if its citizens did not have a certain amount of arrogance about their country.
How can you condemn Trump as amorally materialistic, when you yourself throw huge numbers of pubescent rape victims under the bus simply for being working-class?
