This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I kind of understand where you're coming from, but you are delusional if you think Canadians and Europeans don't already have extreme right groups growing within their borders. We don't need to allow Americans in to have their propaganda spread through different countries. It does via cultural hegemony.
At one point my very Québecois friend was listening to Joe Rogan podcasts and parroting his anti woke crap. When I go see my family in the countryside, I often feel like I'm talking to deep south rednecks. They say they hate Trump but they hate the person, not the politics, because it's the same anti immigration and anti woke rhetoric.
And I'm not an expert about Europe as a whole but I know a bit about Germany and AFAIK, the AfD is making gains there. Is it because of americans and/or latinos going there?
