      I’d love to live in Denmark, that’s where most of my heritage comes from.

        Maybe I should go to Poland. That’s the largest contiguous plurality of my background…

          Serious question - what is the general opinion of older motorcycles in the country? Because I absolutely love my 1980 Honda XR500…

            Sorry mate, I have absolutely no idea. I live in Copenhagen, and only own a bike and don’t have a drivers license.

    Some random asshole on the internet had a similar challenge when it came to not generalizing 300,000,000 people and sadly failed their challenge :'(

    Republicans do, but they blame them on the wrong foreigners. The foreigners causing most of the problems are Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami, and a few others.

      Democrats frequently blame all of the USs problems on Russians.

      Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami

      All three are literally US citizens, and Ramaswamy was literally born in Ohio.

      I see that American liberals are white nationalists now.

    Lots of populist European parties are doing the same and are actually gaining votes by blaming everything on the immigrants.

    It’s not necessarily foreigners, but rather billionaires that are the problem. They bought off and corrupted government officials long ago, and directed them to perform heinous acts to line their pockets further. The rich have got to be stopped in order for things to get better. I’d prefer to simply tax them out of existence, but there are other means available…

      The US was founded on slavery and genocide / conquest of hundreds of indigenous nations. It’s rotten to the core.

        Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England. This is a human problem, not a national one.

          George washington, franklin, jefferson, madison, all the founders were slave-owning colonizers who explicitly modelled their country after ancient Rome.

          It’s not a human problem, these were specifically evil people who did not share the same values as the people they murdered and enslaved.

          Most countries were not founded in this way.

          They were pissy that the king made it illegal to expand westward and exterminate all of the indigenous people. They were all “no, actually, the British Empire isn’t evil enough. Let’s make an even bigger and eviller empire than the [at the time] most evil empire on Earth.”

          This is a human problem, not a national one.

          It is a national and class problem, not a human one. Human nature is a bs concept invented to sell the status quo.

    No you don’t understand, it wasn’t 80 years of fascist power consolidation and continual capitalist cannibalization since the 70s, It is all Putin manipulating social media causing the material conditions in the Global North. One thing is for sure, no one wrote a book in the nineteenth century describing this exactly.

      You don’t understand, the U.S. was sold to Russia in 2016, then it was reclaimed and thanklessly saved by our harm-reduction, lesser-evilism enjoyer (very wholesome), then it was hopelessly sold back again to Russia just recently…

        To be fair, anything, literally anything, that Nigel Farage says, can and should be dismissed as nonsense. If he would say the sky is blue, dismiss it. If you want to know the color of the sky, you can find a better source of information.

          If you had actually read or paid any attention to the video included in the article posted, you’d know that it wasn’t Nigel pointing fingers at another politician for being “too communist”. This isn’t in defense of GBN or Nigel. It doesn’t matter what source of information is used here, it doesn’t change the established behavior of Europeans blaming every slight inconvenience/loss on foreigners, communism, etc… Why does this have to be spelled out for libs.

          Just because it’s not from your favorite mainstream source of slop, doesn’t mean we can’t critically engage with the material.

            The source matters if you want to consider investing any time in it. Nigel Farage is a source that should make you completely dismiss it. He is a liar and fraud.

            Nigel Farage himself hates immigrants and communism. His guest is a far-right policing, who blames communism and without checking, I bet he is against immigration. Your source is GBN. They gave Nigel Farage a prime time show.

            So your sources of Europeans blaming Immigrants and communism, are literally political actors who are trying to make a career with it. In an article, in which they complain that their ability of spreading misinformation according to their political agenda, got reduced, by someone that they identify as the eu gold boy.

            In other words, your evidence that Europeans are blaming communism, is specifically a bias “news” reporting of a group of people with a history of doing that, in which they complain about people specifically fighting against their propaganda and arguably winning.

              You can fist-fight the air by hyperfixating on the source and keep on missing the point all day long, the fact remains foreigners and communism are the fan-favorite scapegoats of the majority of the Europeans.
