Thats crazy because rich people keep telling me low tax on them funds growth and helps everyone.

I mean, why would rich people lie?

Nice one. You got to really hit them in the cronyism to win. Like, don't boycott or put tarrifs on blue state stuff (no idea what) but, put all the tarrifs on, say, florida oranges in the run up to the governors election or kentucky bourbon and the like.

It's exactly that kind of targeting that the EU used to force armerica to back down on tariffs under W Bush. They've hated the EU since.

Clearly you think yourself far smarter than you are. Especially considering you can't even see yourself fall foul of the fallacy you claim to see. As adorable as it is, I remember when I first found out about fallacies too, its a bit boring and it wouldn't make me wrong either. That is if you bothered learning any of the other fallacies.

Let me help you, as you're clearly struggling here: why is it that only the Europeans, in this instance, that have to own their crap? Why are we not allowed to consider any other contributing factors? How is me mentioning another factor, while not denying the problems at home, not owing it?

It doesn't make sense does it?

Again, said without a hint of irony. Please get some self awareness before replying again. Youre taking the sport out of it.

Some of us are capable of holding all the contributing factors in their heads and not just ignore the ones they dont want to talk about. It doesn't mean we don't have our own problems but it also doesn't mean that there isn't another very serious problem at hand.

I don't think I dismissed it but mearly made sure that all the factors leading to it were included. In fact, its people taking issue with me mentioning them who are dismissing things they dont like. If you're in denial about that, then you're probably in detail about how much of an influence America was on Hitler too.

For sure, its not like we need any help with making far right groups. However, we have help making them none the less.

I mean, maybe the rise of the far right in America and then a similar rise across the world, with a sufficient lag time, is completely unrelated. Maybe operation galdio didn't do exactly what it set out to do. Maybe its better to blame people for the additional effect it has on them, outside of their control. I mean, that would be very in keeping with far right thinking.

Own up to your own crap if you want to fix it

Unfortunately, American politics is so toxic, its infected nearly every country its come into contact with.

Understanably, american money and election interference is the reason European politics is becoming more americanised. For example, it was regan who radicalised thatcher. It was American and Russian dark money that funded vote leave (brexit). It was the CIA who funded far right groups all over Europe. Its American, far right Christian groups who try to lobby to take away reproductive freedom for women etc. etc.

America is empire now and no ones laughing anymore.
