So many Euro simps on Lemmy. It's like a circle jerk for Europe on here for some reason. Which is kinda proving your own point around the growing fascism (Nationalism) in Europe. This time it seems to be Fascism fueled by a "European" identity alongside a "German or Italian" identity. Though state nationalism is growing it seems to be growing along with EU nationalism.

It's very much fueled by anti immigrant (primarily anti Arab) sentiment. The most obvious of which is Germany. A country that has a national identity built around guilt for the Holocaust but at the same time pretending that they have some unobtainable (by others) perspective on Antisemitism. Which ironically is fueling modern day Antisemitism against Arabs in Germany.

Germany is literally repeating it's antisemitic past by blindly supporting Israel and blaming Arab immigrants for all its problems. Literally supporting a Jewish Supremacists Ethnostate that models much of Nazi Germany in it's oppression of Palestine.

Germany is just an example. But a lot of Europe (Poland being another strong example) is absolutely diving head first into the fascist pool. I don't see how anyone paying attention could disagree with much of what you said.

Edit: Downvoted but not a single reply addressing anything I said. Enjoy your Fascism Europe. You're going the same way as the US whether you are opening your eyes to it or not.

You sure as hell cherry pick as much as you desire don't you?

We don't simp for Europe.

We are Europe.

Stop thinking the world revolves around you bud.

I just keep getting replies like this with zero substance. Just Europeans saying "I'm wrong". Enlighten me. In what way did I think the world revolved around me? I literally was just talking about actual things happening in Europe. Seriously, tell me what part of my comment was at all self centered? Sounds like you're just projecting.

Also, yeah, you can be a European simp AND be European. They often go hand in hand. That and hating Arabs and Eastern Europeans. All these substanceless replies are just proving my point of European supremacy and nationalism that is exploding in the EU.

How dare I point out the racism of Germany and it's support for genocide. How dare I! I'm so self centered!

Careful, your complexes are overspilling.

Germany and Poland are two of your examples. Are there any other examples? Please, anyone reply with as many real examples as you can and want. I think Italy is one? Please confirm. 🥲
