I mean, yes in so far as you can generalize, of course I am jealous of that!? You think I like being stuck at the bottom of a cruel hole lined with gold and bullet casings?

I don't make this argument as a form of nihilistic relativism or try to rope other countries into the miserable complicity in yet another genocide the US has condemned itself too participating in. The US deserves FAR MORE blame than Germany, the UK, France or any other European country does.

US history unfolds directly out of the worst parts of European history, you cannot deny it and if you continue to do so you hamstring your capacity to understand the coming threat to Europe that will eat away at everything your society holds dear in the name of fear of terrorism and the silhouette of an immigrant threatening to join your community and become your neighbor...
