Are you serious? In the US, you don’t get fined or arrested for posting mean memes like in Germany

You can clearly get indicted for it.

But much more serious is the widespread government censorship that would be unimaginable in the EU.

No point to argue. EU propaganda machine portrays EU as beautiful garden while the US is portrayed as the one descending into fascism.

You can’t push anto-freedom laws without mass brainwashing.

Portrayed? Have you seen the news at all in the past year? The US is descending into fascism really hard. Closing your eyes to it is not going to stop it.

[jesterson]

If your worldview is based on news you are consuming, then I would like to avoid the discussion.

No, I don’t see the US descending into fascism. Quite the opposite. But the EU unfortunately does, and that saddens me a lot.

If your world view is based on "alternative facts", then I agree discussion is pretty much pointless. If the US isn't descending into fascism, it's only because it's already arrived there.

I'm not denying that the EU also has rising fascism, but they're not in power the way they are in the US.
