When I think about what continent a country resides, I am strongly biased by my STEM view of the world. To me the continent that a country resides isn’t up to anyone’s opinion or political leaning or ownership. It is a geophysical location.
Zecarlo was making a point about England and Europe and I totally missed it, because England rests on the same tectonic plate as the rest of Europe, and I knew that. How could he not see that? We were talking about two completely different ideas.
It really never should have gotten that far.
He tried to warn us.
Can’t disagree
Trump is smart enough to know what kind of response this will bring.
I’ll join the furious mob when he actually does something unconstitutional and dictatorial.
I don’t think it was good to post this, but we’ll have to see what comes next. We are certain to see escalation of rhetoric from Democrats.
She’s cute.
More on the LOLLL “European point of view”:
My gut tells me that the same grift has been operating Europe, but much for much longer.
Assuming that the Trump Part II: Revenge of Trump Administration is being honest in their communications and genuine in their intentions, we are now in historically uncharted waters altogether.
Nobody can point to the past and say that anything known to happen before is anything like what seems to be unraveling in front of us.
VDH is doing some of the best big picture analysis, and has been for a while.
I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about and his performance, I mean speech, was for Americans. I think he is confusing Europe for Anglosphere, which would include the US. So if European leaders were aghast it was because all of the stupid shit you see there was imported from the US. You know what the word for woke is in French? Woke.
I thought his speech was a brilliant expression of American political thought as it relates to Europe.
He was clear on the ideological points he opposed, and we are waging ideological war from a position of global leadership.
If what I suspect is correct, we are about to emerge as a global leader unlike any other before. The collapse of the Democrats is entirely possible here. Hopefully it includes the collapse of swamp Republicans and “Independents” as well.
Seriously, your nit picking bullshit is so tiresome sometimes.
The French word for idiot is idiot. So what.
The problem is that Europe is not one nation nor one culture. France bans face coverings in public. Is that liberal or illiberal? What was their argument? It goes against their values, which are Western cultural in nature. Would we do that? No, because of religious freedom, even if it goes against our Western values.
Protection of Western culture and civilization, which I am for as my people invented it, cannot be done without intolerance, illiberalism and maybe even some authoritarianism.
Can a public school teacher hang a crucifix on the wall of the classroom, here in the US? No. Can he in Italy? Yes. So who is more tolerant? Who is defending Christianity more?
Because it comes from Latin. I think this is called missing the point.
Man walks into a bar, spends all day there, can’t figure out why everyone is behaving like an asshole. Man is missing the point.
I don’t go to bars so this is completely meaningless to me. The word for bar in French, is bar.
I don’t give a shit what your European country is. If you’re locking people up for hate speech and flooding your nation with migrants, you ought to be called out.
Many places in the U.S. did this pre-covidrona-19.1.2.3. Those laws may still be on-the-books and not enforced…maybe even enforced in some places, but I have no knowledge of it.
Yeah. They’re getting cucked (man, I hate that term, but there it is.) at cultural assimilation levels because they’ve been training their men to be submissive eunichs.
Now Africa and the middle east are all up in that eurobooty.
Europe has minimal relevance on the world stage in 2025. Without a major course correction, European culture might be wiped out within a few generations, with a few remaining pockets here and there. If the identity politics charges ahead on the predictable trajectory, they might be in for trouble soon when they become ethnic minorities in their own lands.
Future students may need to refer to old books and movies to know what a German was in the 20th century.
@jshaving Not that I wish this outcome on any people, but it sure would be ironic if Europeans placed themselves onto reservations through their powers of abstract thinking.
