No, but neither it is anywhere else.
In fact, situation is much better, unless you are terminally online and consume media and news 24/7.

They are "activists" I was speaking about.
If person suddenly turns into zealous retard overnight they were never normal to begin with.

I never said I have any kind of "truth".
I now better than that, pardon my arrogance.
I can recommend you to temper your arrogance as well.

Depends on a situation.

Americans in general have lived a comfortable life for the last century and it’s made us lazy and even stupid. Many don’t care if the government does strip away our rights as long as they “take care of our needs”, which they do a crappy job of anyway.

It seems you are just a fear-mongering doomer, who is also arrogant and thinks she knows better than anyone else.

And all of those are mistakes.
They are understandable, given the context, but having moderation and humility, as well, as a clear perspective, as opposed to emotional gut reactions and "TAKE THAT" moments, will make you much more palatable to everyone.

Its less a European strength, but an individual country weakness.
And greed of its elites.
