    I’ve never understood the weird compulsion non-American CHUDs have to sound exactly like American CHUDs. Especially since they often claim to be trying to save [their country’s] culture. By behaving exactly like yanks. It just doesn’t make sense to me. You’d think they’d hate the yanks for the Americanisation of their culture, but they seem to love it.

      i mean this is a pretty new phenomenon, french facists a decade ago wouldn’t have used WOKISME. it’s also why the idea that american hegemony is diminishing is ridiculous, if anything its cultural dominance has reached new heights previously unimaginable, every single stupid culture war thing gets imported wholesale everywhere else

      The most reactionary Norwegians I’ve ever had the displeasure to meet loved to talk about “harmful American foreign influences” — that was very specifically the word they used, amerikansk. Now I found it very strange that these chuds got all their rhetoric from rich Seppos, that they wouldn’t so much as acknowledge the irony of that; moreover I was disturbed by how I suddenly stopped being “the American in the room” when these people started talking about “American foreign influences”, almost like they were trying to treat me as a local as a sort of “carrot on a stick” to lure me towards their reactionism.

      It wasn’t until much later that I realized that when the Norwegian chuds talk about “harmful American foreign influences”, and they believe in the ZOG conspiracy theory, that “American” is really just a nicer way to say “Jewish”. So that was what they were doing: they spoke of “harmful American foreign influences” because they knew that people like me would enthusiastically nod to the general statement that there is such a thing as American foreign influence, and that this influence is broadly harmful; but once you get past that general statement, they were literally just doing a find-and-replace for conspiracy theories about a Jewish cabal — at first very subtly, but more obviously as they went on.
