Political Memes

So many Euro simps on Lemmy. It's like a circle jerk for Europe on here for some reason. Which is kinda proving your own point around the growing fascism (Nationalism) in Europe. This time it seems to be Fascism fueled by a "European" identity alongside a "German or Italian" identity. Though state nationalism is growing it seems to be growing along with EU nationalism.

It's very much fueled by anti immigrant (primarily anti Arab) sentiment. The most obvious of which is Germany. A country that has a national identity built around guilt for the Holocaust but at the same time pretending that they have some unobtainable (by others) perspective on Antisemitism. Which ironically is fueling modern day Antisemitism against Arabs in Germany.

Germany is literally repeating it's antisemitic past by blindly supporting Israel and blaming Arab immigrants for all its problems. Literally supporting a Jewish Supremacists Ethnostate that models much of Nazi Germany in it's oppression of Palestine.

Germany is just an example. But a lot of Europe (Poland being another strong example) is absolutely diving head first into the fascist pool. I don't see how anyone paying attention could disagree with much of what you said.

Edit: Downvoted but not a single reply addressing anything I said. Enjoy your Fascism Europe. You're going the same way as the US whether you are opening your eyes to it or not.

I’d say we are in an odd position. I don’t know when you last attended a PhD ceremony, but in engineering, over half were foreigners. The US already had a brain drain, by not producing top notch scientists and engineers. This is only exacerbating the issue.

And by privilege you mean access to basic freedom and the pursuit of knowledge.

Most scientists are underpaid and overworked.
