That is simply not true.

Here in the EU we have chat control trying to be forced through every year for mass surveillance and targeting like Spain targeting catalan independence movements.

Palantir is starting to expand into the EU and american fash-tech companies have been lobbying hard and giving money to fascist parties across the EU. Musk gave unprescidented money of AfD fascists, for example.

UK has been getting more and more fascist for years, they have had mass surveillance for years and have been arresting people for simply attending zoom meetings supporting a country being killed off en-masse. Palantir literally just landed a £240 million deal with the UK government

We don't have an ICE problem yet. Neither did america 10 years ago. It is being pushed HARD here to create an ICE problem.

feels like rest of the world, including Europe, is like "can we slip in a couple of ours while Trump is doing all these insane bat shit crazy stuff and distracting people"

Every time I thought the US was stupid for doing a thing, the rest of the world followed with the same bullshit a few years later. Some sooner, some later. The US is not more stupid, they're trendsetters.
