My man just styling on europe:
America’s allies in Europe are desperate for alternative supplies of fuel amid the Ukraine war, and U.S. producers are happy to provide what they can. So wouldn’t you know the Biden Administration now wants to limit fuel exports.
If europe has to starve so america has its treats, that’s a deal that america is always willing to make.
And it's something that Europe should know by heart at this point. Why the fuck would you ever trust the americans to suffer any kind of societal deprevation to help you? Americans would rather die than be told no, as evident by the genocidal handling of COVID.
Why anyone outside of the US likes or admires the US, it's government, it's culture, or it's people is beyond me. Cringe shit.
A non-insignificant amount of brainworms is required. Unfortunately our libs here in Denmark sort of became America-philes over the past year, and if my PMC relatives are any indication, they think that having a subscription to the New York Times makes them the epitome of enlightenment thought. Haven't spoken to those relatives in almost two years, but I'm kind of considering just printing a bunch of Ross Douthats most unhinged Op-eds and asking if this is something they condone. However, since I don't want to actively alienate them yet, im probably just going to ask a few innocent questions.
For Europeans who have this attitude, are they just like, the most basic people ever? Like even if the US wasn't actively evil (death to America, by the way)... liking American shit just seems, well I don't know what the right word is other than maybe "basic". Like the people who watch a lot of reality TV, only listen to the most broadly popular music, probably don't read books but if they do it's just the most popular fiction novels. Not that any of that is bad per se, just to me it seems like the kind of person who uncritically absorbs what is pushed out by media and society.
Euros who are Ameriphiles tend to be the most NPC people ever, yes. Just default human at every level.

Long term thinking was never a strong suit of ours, but this is fucking insane, even for neolibs. So many people are going to suffer needlesly because of this, and there is nothing to fucking help it. Also seems like our landlord is trying to force us out of the house, especially with how much rent is going to increase after new years. Fuck, this shit is bleak.
The fact that Europe has ever trusted America, at all, is proof they are not fit to govern themselves. The fact that they won't tell Yanks to get the fuck out, even as they are literally going to freeze to death is just sad. How did these people oppress the entire planet at one time?
