    Terfing ideas with fabricated misinformation. What worries me is I know it works on the media illiterate.

    There’s is currently an attempt to destabilize the EU to segregate and popularize hate and allow fascist talking points “for your safety”

    Protect your neighbors.

    Midterm elections coming up in 9 months, that’s why. Gotta scare the feeble-minded geriatrics and low-information mouthbreathers.

    Of course they have. Pearl clutching Americans believe them because they have no frame of reference. The believe everywhere is as bad as the shithole they live in.

      I agree, but to be fair, this is not a new problem, nor is it one limited to the US.

      I’m from Austria, and during the London riots (IIRC, that was in 2010 or 2011) I lived in the UK.

      My parents frequently sent me news articles and snippets from TV news about things happening in the UK, and it was constant horror stories, almost apocalyptic. They claimed that all of UK was in riot and specifically also mentioned the area where I lived in.

      In fact, all that I noticed of the riots was one peaceful demonstration on one afternoon and that was it.
