I know it may seem that way, but I think you have too much trust in EU. And I am living in the EU myself.
EU definitely is also playing around with totalitarianism and fascistic tendencies. It's just they're able to get away with it under guise of "think of the children", which happens to actually be widely accepted argumentation in EU, as opposed to the US where you can literally befriend the most well known PDF file and still become the president.
Also, we have lots of doofuses here that legitimately adore the mango man and his crew. I'm really not sure why that would be, but it clearly is (go to any legacy social media and see it for yourself).
I think we're in a stage of global regression of the mind. People starting to believe totalitarianism is necessary. The only country I've heard that actually firmly stands against USA here in EU is Spain.
The EU is not a single, compact entity. It’s some member states who are playing dangerously with far right forces. Which we must fight to defeat.
But even the proto-fascist Melloni is (by now) far away from the shit Americans have to endure.
Can you elaborate on how you think the EU is "playing around with totalitarianism and fascistic tendencies".
I cannot believe this question is in good faith. Can you start with providing your own interpretation of what it might mean? This ensures you're not just a sea lion.
I'll try and help. Examples of historic fascist/totalitarian regimes are Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy, Soviet Russia. Contemporary examples are North Korea, China, Russia, et al.
In what way is the EU behaving in a way that is comparable to these without making the term completely meaningless?
