Probably just a good helping of Russian disinformation on social media.

хет-трик or "khet trik" is a common Russian phrase, borrowed from the English "hat trick", to describe three consecutive successes.

It's not media markets, it's culture, the south hates, hates, hates, well, everything now.

Liberals are all evil for supporting LGBT as an abomination against God, for supporting brown people just to spite better whites, and for wanting to talk to foreigners when they should be on their knees admitting how superior we are.

Limited media markets in the part of the country that has disproportionate share of political power relatives for population is a huge problem

It's always Putin. He must laugh his ass off at how stupid and malleable Americans have become.

As George Carlin once said, "you don't need a formal conspiracy when interests converge."

The Heritage Foundation and the GOP have no love for Putin and he has no love for them. They all just want the same thing in regards to the EU and NATO, but they all want it for different reasons.

Trump is too stupid to be part of a major international conspiracy. He's a useful idiot who thinks he can financially benefit from all this chaos, and that's as deep as his thought process goes. Heritage wants the EU and NATO gone because it would give the US more leverage on the world stage, and because western Europe is a Godless Liberal society where religion is dwindling and brown people are moving in. Putin wants the EU and NATO gone because it would give Russia more leverage and make it easier to expand his borders and rebuild his glorious Russian Empire.

Funny how Putin, the Heritage Foundation and the Republican Party all see eye to eye and share the same goals. Weird coincidence really.

They are a Russian-backed terrorist organisation whose sole purpose is to destroy the Western countries and our democratic institutions, thus ending our global hegemony.

This is spot on.

State means multiple things and in this case it means the federal government.

They're effectively the illuminati conspiracy theorists have been trying to find for many years now. Legit wrote up plans and published it online and they control donald trump. I don't understand why there isn't more outrage about this

And many of us are actually ready to stand up and defend our countries if required, because there is no where to run anymore anyways.

u/Brainsploosh@lemmy.world · 10 points

Maybe go have a meet downtown all together and brainstorm some ideas? See where the mood takes you?

u/Sanctus@lemmy.world · 14 points

I feel like we have some say in this as a people. Like theres something we could collectively do.

Spain did the same thing after Franco died. All the fascists got off because "it's time to heal and move on" and now they're all in politics.

Without organization and leadership, there will be tiny skirmishes at best.

u/themadcodger@kbin.earth · 7 points

Yeah, I honestly don't know how we come back from this level of radicalization without some form of conflict. If we're going to Balkanize, hopefully it can be done without bloodshed, but…

u/InverseParallax@lemmy.world · 3 points

That's because we lost the first one when we let the south end reconstruction and put all the Confederates back into power.

Can the PNW join you, and thence the EU? You can give up Alberta if it makes it any easier?

u/jeena@piefed.jeena.net · 4 points

Exactly, we need to build up the Baltic countries for example so that they can not just be a buffer zone but really feel safe.

u/Litebit@lemmy.world · 96 points

Big countries don't like small countries to join up with each other to behave like a big country. EU need to strengthen their alliance.

u/TinyRhino@lemm.ee · 84 points

Bro WTF? The US should get ZERO say regarding the EU, its membership, and its continued existence. If it wasn't clear enough for the average dumbass American, the right wing movement in the US is beholden to Russian interests. Every time they do something like this, you should be asking yourself, "who does this benefit the most?"

u/MyOpinion@lemm.ee · 81 points

It is becoming clear that the heritage foundation is a threat to the the world and must be dealt with.

u/hikuro93@lemmy.ca · 51 points

Do try. The more you try to split us apart the more we unite against common foes.

We Europeans might bicker a lot and not see eye to eye on some things, but our lands still bear the scars of mankind's worst moments. We know better and see right past the vain attempts at manipulation.

And yeah, we have some dumbass extreme-right parties in many countries (including mine) being heavily funded and/or encouraged by Russia and the US, just like we saw with Germany's AfD. But we're already taking measures against that sort of influence, thankfully.

I have the feeling the US must be dismantled and split up into individual states. They are a threat to the world, democracy and life on earth.
