At this rate it seems to not matter much if Europe doesn’t finally grow up. I say this as a European.

Interesting. I guess it’s about cultural conditioning. Growing up in Scandinavia the “both sides” and subjectivist approach was more common for leftists. Especially the “your terrorist is my freedom fighter”. In contrast rightists and liberals usually insisted on exactly this two-plus-two-is-four rhetoric. As analyzing American discourse from the outside I’m still not sure if the right wingers of my Nordic childhood was right anyway, or if American leftism has regressed horrendously

I guess it’s all a matter of cultural conditioning but growing up in Scandinavia this kind of rhetoric was always associated with right-wingers and other liberals whereas “both sides” was more common for progressives and leftists. The most common I saw was the one-persons-terrorist-is-another-persons-freedom-fighter.

War crimes? Certainly. Completely disregarding civilians in a war zone? Certainly. Committing genocide? In that case it’s the most incompetent genocide of modern history. Look to Azerbaijan whose ethnic cleaning of Karabakh was extremely effective. They’ll have some ideas.

I guess this means it’s fan service and doesn’t intend to tell the stories to a new audience which is fair

Reddit tier comment.

Peace in our time or something

You’d find a lot of Scandinavians wanting this lmao

Not really. It isn’t as good as Far Harbor aeven though the world building is better and more interesting. Of course it’s way worse than Dragonborn. But it’s definitely better than Nuka World and Automaton. And also better than the Pitt and Mothership Zeta even though it’s difficult to make comparisons with Fallout 3

And today the front page is still being used to push fanatical American extremism, just in a different guise. American progressives are just alternative Trumpists. It’s horrifying
