What the fuck is happening on Lemmy right now?

Since what, a week now I guess, this comm "Buy European" has been spamming posts on my All feed. A few are actual useful posts like lists of alternatives to US companies and services, but the majority I just ignore.

And now it is coming to this point? Like, really? This is infuriating, fuck Europe.

Not only that but most comments calling the post out are either barely upvoted or heavily downvoted, while it's pretty clear that most people commenting genuinely thinks this is a good idea.

And the cherry on top are the comments upset at the "tankies".

How the fuck can these crackers look at a post wanting Europe to become a superpower again knowing damn well the history of Europe, and also knowing how the far right is currently rising to power there yet again, then not only agree with it, but also just decide to antagonize the communists instead of the fascists rising to power right now?

I'm not one to go calling people fascists, but fuck if my hitler particles detector is not going off the charts right now.

Sorry for venting out, this is the type of shit that makes my blood boil.

Euro fascists are at the pinnacle of cope right now. The have been abandoned by the US fascists and so their base of fascists support has been shattered. They don't know what to do with themselves. They are dogs without a master.
Thanks for this. I was one of the "Tankies" getting downvoted in that thread. That whole thread was really confusing. Like is Europe being that Nationalistic?

If there is one thing I know about Europe is that each country may have its own nationalism but "European Nationalism" is just when they decide collectively to deport/and or murder Jews and brown people.
I have a feeling theres a lot of EU trolls trying to influence opinion all over the internet. I've been seeing posts and social media that are hyping up the EU as "finally standing up for itself" and becoming a superpower for the past few weeks now.
- look all the NAFO people need something to do now that Ukraine gig is over
  
  Yeah, probably hoping for some clandestine EU funding now that USAID is done paying them.
- In the last three years they were super busy handling all their power to USA and inhaling boot and now they realised they have none left so they are pouring last thing they have, money, into soft power. Also i'm more and more convinced all the feddit instances are really led by some feds like the reddit country subs.
  
  Lmao, let them try. Every single popular social media platform and website in the west is run by US tech oligarchs, there is literally no chance that the EU somehow manages to oppose US hegemony on the US's own channels.
- 🤦
If we united the whole world together under one federation that federation would be a world superpower! I am ver yintelligent.
Sadly Western Eurasia as a whole has reached the final decades of the Ottoman Empire stage… without Daddy USA propping up their prosperity, Western Eurasia will slip into irrelevancy and as soon as they need to participate in any major war, are sure to shatter to pieces.
MEUGA movement going on rn, and theyre calling us fascists lmao
Inconsequential ramblings. They talk big but they can't do.
my incredibly refined ideological world view is that i want everything to be as it is right now, but i want to comfortably feel like the world super power are the good guys.
Why did they create so many mod accounts for !buyeuropean@feddit.uk, and why was each created on a different instance? Isn’t modding a community from a different instance kinda wonky? I don’t get it.

Is this thing funded somehow?
- if fed UK was sensible they would delete this comm before it spirals out of control
  
  Fed uk is so bad lmao, the uk subs are absolutely trash and I don't expect anything sensible to come out of it
- What is even the point of decentralised product boycotts, when has this ever worked without government legislation?
You don’t see as much calling them out as they are removing comments challenging the assertions made
What potential? France is (finally) bleeding colonies, EU has to buy obscenely expensive American energy resources, doesn't work on nuclear power and engages in the opposite of industrialization while throwing money into a doomed war for brainrot reasons.

Ya got potential to kiss the ring and hope that Trump's administration ends with Trump and doesn't represent a whole new strategy of American powers that be at this point.
- What potential?
  
  They mean Europe has a lot of white people
So they are becoming fascist?
- Becoming?
I thought this was possible the funniest removed comment reason I have ever seen on that same community
- The mods being smug debatebros who think "ad hominem" just means "thing I don't like" would explain a lot about that instance.
There has been a migration from the subreddit to lemmy so thats why those posts have gotten more popular
Chinese century go brrr lmao
This is just liberals crying about “Russia bad, Trump bad”
The spammiest users on lemmy Blaze and Sunshine decided this is their new bullshit liberal cause. It is more nationalist garbage so I blocked it all and them.
