The crimes of the empire are so blatant now that even the vassals aren't comfortable supporting them.
I do think there is a growing realization in Europe that US has thrown them under the bus.
You are making the US seem cool calling it The Empire
if you think that empires are cool then don't know what to say there
Can't be first time for you. Surely you've met people who are enthuastic about Roman Empire for example?
these people invariably fall on the fascist end of the political spectrum
Have you actually met these people in real life?
lots
I somehow doubt it... Being enthuastic about Roman history is just really common. Thinking they're all fascists is peak Lemmy lol.
