As a european it's always been fucking WERID how americans panic and reach for their guns at the mention of socialism.

I mean

There was this whole thing called the Soviet Union then there was like a missile crisis

And there was like a group that called themselves National Socialists and they did a genocide and tried to take over a bunch of land by force

We also had to fight a bunch of talking trees that dug tunnels because military industrial complex and heroin

It's definitely many layers of propaganda but as an American I definitely understand WHERE it comes from, I understand why most people here flinch at the word.

You also gotta understand we had multiple generations in a row huffing lead gasoline so while younger millennials aren't impacted as bad, MOST Americans are legitimately lead brained.

The Nazis were literally IN Europe. The USSR literally built a WALL here splitting the continent. And you're saying that explains why America is the one with socialism PTSD???

Ain't nothing more American than making everything about you I guess.
