The Comfort of False Equivalence
There’s a seductive kind of cowardice masquerading as wisdom in modern discourse: the insistence that all extremes are created equal. It’s what allows the centrist to shrug and say, “Well, both sides are dangerous,” as though morality and method exist on a balanced scale, and history is simply a record of shared mistakes. For MAGA, this rhetorical laziness isn’t just useful. It’s strategic.
See my other post. What happens in Europe doesn’t matter compared to American politics. And most European countries are experiencing right wing shifts also.
Our two party system (which sucks and needs to go) makes the comparisons impossible as well. You guys are literally playing around with naziism again. And many of your countries are rolling back gay rights and abortion rights. Don’t pretend like Europe is some left wing utopia. Lmao.
Most of that influence comes from America though?
You can try to shift the blame to others all you want. The truth is you only have yourself to blame though.
Our politics are influenced by Russia, China, Australian and South African billionaires, but it is our people who voted according to that influence.
Even if you blame Americans for influencing, your people are still voting for it.
