      There is something to be said for being openly and unashamedly dumb. I feel like us Europeans have this holier-than-thou superiority complex while still being dumb and horrible as shit. But then again, could also be my bias speaking. I would still rather live here than in the US for material reasons.

        Europeans really do think that they’re better than Americans because they have healthcare, and pretend racism and homophobia are American inventions.

          Don’t forget bad cops. Only US cops are bad and racist, our cops are wholesome 100. Never mind that just a few years ago it came out that like half of all German police stations had secret far-right Whatsapp group chats, just ignore that bit, our cops have a modicum of trigger discipline and don’t blatantly gun down black people in the streets so that must mean they’re epic Marvel Avengers.
