Reminder for my fellow Europeans;

It’s as bad here as in the United States, and, in some cases, worse.

The world's deadliest migrant border is ours.

We actually built that wall.

We have the large migrant camps.

We deport migrants to authoritarian regimes outside of our own borders, and pay those regimes to keep them there.

Women's rights are under assault everywhere, including in so-called 'liberal’ countries like the Netherlands.

Same for LGBTQI+ rights.

TERFs are basically a European invention.

Most elections are won and lost on migration, 'anti-woke’ hate, etc.

We are just as racist, sexist, *phobic, etc.

Wake TF up 🚮

@sindarina The funny thing -- the really funny thing -- is _where the heck do you think we got it from_? We're all choking to death on 17th century English/French/Spanish/Portuguese colonialism and its' bastard offspring.

This is also the part that makes me want to cry... freaking 17TH CENTURY Western European colonialism. We're poisoned by the political and business aspirations of men who have been dead for 400 years.

I mean, hell, our flag started its' life as a defaced UK trade ensign.

@sindarina Being an American is sometimes seeing an inebriated white man get very angry at Thanksgiving about what other white men did to the very small sliver of his ancestry that was Abenaki, while his own daughter quietly votes for Trump. Its bleeding madness all around.
