it’s more you’re expected to buy a car to get to the only pub in the tri-metro area which is itself owned by one of two large corporations who control the entire market. what’s that? you don’t like the idea of dedicating 1/3 of your income or more to being a motor vehicle owner? well, there’s always bootstraps.
suburbanism isn’t the only shitty american thing you guys have imported from us as of late but it’s probably one of the more starkly visible ones. i laughed when i read that headline as an american because it wasn’t shocking to me and reminded me of virtually every single neighborhood i was ever in growing up. all my friends too. absolutely bog standard for suburbia in the US. i think a lot of europeans are really ignorant of the systemic factors that keep their american counterparts more oppressed than them. feel free to disagree but you guys have let these corporations entrench themselves into your society just the same way we did in the recent past, and look where it got us. i feel like if people en masse really understood things there’d be more direct action and backlash regarding things like this where american corps try and push shitty americanisms onto europe. instead we just see the same playbook they used here working again…
i’m frankly surprised either of our nations have made it this long. the anglosphere is cooked, man.
