[identical castles and ships are facing eachother, one side with EU colors, the other side with USA colors]

[EU side]

  • OUR BLESSED EUROPEAN UNION - Our enlightened union
  • Our glorious lobbying democracy
  • Our noble asymmetric trade deals
  • Our heroic Frontex

[USA side] THEIR BACKWARDS UNITED STATES

  • Their barbarous federation
  • Their wicked technofeudal oligarchy
  • Their primitive imperialism
  • Their brutish ICE

    They’re not patrolling European streets rounding up people who don’t “look right”, without identifying themselves, in flagrant violation of the law, and without ensuring their kidnappees detainees receive due process.

    Not yet… The far right is rising fast in the EU. They’re maybe one election cycle behind the US before Frontex is doing the same.

      Yep, the EU being politically a better place is just propaganda. All the terrible things , invented somewhere else, eventually come here. As a repressed minority (hopefully just locally), I have no idea where to even go.
