I agree, the stupidity of some people can be shocking. Just look at brexit. In Poland there are some minor voices for polexit, but for now it is ridiculed by majority. In 10-15 years imho it can change, since thanks to disinformation campaign done by russia we see that many people changed their opinion about Ukraine. It’s heartbreaking.
It’s not only stupidity, it’s pinpoint targeted propaganda and fear-mongering at less keeeping-up-with-the-times people. It’s basically foreign countries heavy-handedly meddling in internal country matters to sow chaos and gain relative advantage.
People will always be the weak point of any system, scapegoating them won’t fix anything, there has to be a better protection from foregin (or internal) un-democratic interferences.
Americans were only portrayed as strong and smart, like soviets socialism realism art movement portrayed soviets as strong and hard working “good” people. Nice propaganda eh.
I mean we all grew up with those badass americans in movies and books, a huge bias IMO.
Europeans have a huge cultural edge here IMO but I’m biased on that front ofc. We’ll see, interesting times…
