A new survey reveals EU citizens are growing more and more US-sceptic, and think it’s time for the bloc to pursue its own foreign policy and reduce ties with Washington.

That’s exactly what Russia and gang had planned (among other things); well played….sadly…
Yeah and? The US was never a friend of Europe, they just saw us as a colony and battleground, see shit like Operation Gladio.
Is it in our reciprocal interests to be allies against the other world powers? So far yes, but the way the US is going, that’s changing, and it’s definitely not our fault.
Yeah, really. It’s all really going according to plan. We’re completely fucked and everyone was fooled to play right into it.
It’s sad to see how easy you can make the masses care for the wrong things, if you tackle their most basic fear instincts.
Nah mate, no one was fooled. One side tried to keep the country, the other side tried to tank the country because “trans migrants”
One side won, now theyre tanking the country
I agree.
Both, the trans & immigrant hate was fueled by the far right & russia most probably helped. It fits.
The fooled ones, were the ones like my father. He never even cared if someone was trans. He did not refrain from making some distasteful jokes, but they were naive and almost good hearted.
Now he bursts out at least once a day, about how trans are endangering society. What shocks me is the hate, like “kill them all” “drag 'em truth the streets” and all that shit. He never was like that before.
And this is just one example of things he started like obsessing about. Reading about right wing shit on Lemmy, just to hear the same views from my father later on the phone. But he was defending those views.
Social media echo chambers seem to have a much more extreme effect on everyone.
They fell hard for the “trans migrants”, “migrants take your job” and " migrants lazy", because they were bombarded with mind blowing “facts”.
But that’s just my opinion, what i come up with in my head, trying to understand myself why things took the wrong turn.
I dont want to assume i understand them better than you do, but having family members that are going through the same thing, it seems much more likely that theyve always been of the “us vs. them” mentallity and now theyve simply been convinced that 1. “Them” is minorities and 2. Their hate is now socially acceptable because back in 2016 we elected the epitomy of hate as a joke
