This is the entire point. The point is that Europeans use the US as something to point to in order to say “well at least we aren’t like them” while ignoring their own issues that are leading to fascist ideologies.
You might learn a thing or two from the Americans that are not brain rotted when they warn you about the reactionary ideologies that they see in Europe that are extremely similar to what has happened in the US.
You are not immune to what is happening in the US. You are absolutely following the same path as the imperial power that sustains you and Western society as a whole.
I am not someone that is talking in terms of “American exceptionalism”. I am someone extremely critical of that that is trying to explain the connections our ruling classes will align with.
So you don’t know what you are talking about. Somehow Europe is a bastion of human rights while upholding Israel’s genocide (among many, many other things). Ridiculous idea, the EU and the US both disrespect human rights and the idea that one is, in anyway, respecting of them is ridiculous and stupid.
I think that if your point can’t stand on its own, and it only makes sense when compared to another country then that tells us all we need to know about if Europe actually respects human rights…
Compared to the US? yes

I’m also American, I’m just ashamed of how poorly my country has treated me throughout the years
