    for all the Europeans currently dealing with the rise of fascism, hold strong and never give up hope for a better tomorrow. this problem is worldwide, you’re not alone.

    I would also like to provide a message to every European on lemmy that has bashed Americans for not doing enough this year.

    you’re not doing enough losers. stop being a bunch of pussies and just stop the fascists! why did you fight all those wars just to let this happen again? don’t blame this shit on us, we don’t run your countries.
