The Static Rain

@RestoreAnglo @Devon_Eriksen_ Imagine being so mentally ill that you actually believe Britain is still a thing.

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ Ai slop for a brainless moron who can't articulate his own thoughts.

Europe's disease is not a disease of America. It is a disease of World War 2. In 1946, after we rescued them from themselves and each other, Europeans crawled out of the rubble they had made of their continent, looked around at their mess, wept for a bit, and then formed the wrong conclusions. They decided that ethnic nations are bad. That patriotism is bad. That supporting your tribe, in preference to random strangers, is bad. They decided that these things had led to the horrors of global war and genocide in Europe itself, and so all vestiges of loyalty to one's own people must be stamped out. Nations were, forever afterward, to be post-ethnic, post-cultural legal and economic units filled with... well, anyone, really. A bunch of people who didn't, in fact shouldn't, share values, goals, morals, customs, or even a common language. Nations were to be mere fiefs, their boundaries determined by which set of political elites controlled them. America, having not been smashed to rubble in WW2, did not share this view. We saw WW2 as an expensive adventure in bailing out Europe, which we spent our treasure and our blood on (including my own grandfather's life, and his chance to ever see his grandson) precisely because we shared cultural and ethical values with the people we were rescuing. But they hate us for it. They see our patriotism as fascism precisely because they see all patriotism as fascism. Psychologists have long understood that humans respond to favors with gratitude only up until those favors become so great that they have no hope of repaying them. At that point, their gratitude turns to resentment. How dare we believe we did them a favor? How dare I believe that my father gave up his father so Europe could be safe, peaceful, and free? Don't we know that, because ${ELABORATE MENTAL GYMNASTICS}, we didn't do them any favors by fighting that war? Don't we know that, because ${ANY PATRIOTISM = HITLER}, our love of our country and favoring of its interests makes us fascist and problematic? Well, no. I don't know that. I don't think any European nation is our ally any more. Certainly, we have shared interests, but how much does that really matter, when they refuse to act in those shared interests, because they have come to believe that acting in your people's interest is bad? They hate us too much to work with us. They resent every ounce of the burden which they are asked to share. Our support has made Europe into a pack of idle welfare recipients, complete with sense of entitlement and self-destructive behavior. But if we didn't defend them... who would? Their native populations have been purged of all patriotism, and who would blame them if they didn't fight for ruling elites that hate them? Their imported third-world barbarians won't fight for them. The very idea is laughable. What's left? And what will make them wake up and think about these questions? Perhaps they need to dig themselves out of the rubble of another war.

@arkadiybe @Devon_Eriksen_ Giving your president's relation with Putin, Sheiks and Princes you will be the ones learning the hard way all of those things

"don't mistake a vacation for a coma." So when is the vacation ending? With rhetoric like this, I assume you're fighting to stop the Muslims and Russians. No, a safer assumption is that you're learning Russian and studying the Quran. When you return from vacation, you'll not join the Portuguese nation. It will be a choice of jihad, meat assault or Chinese factory at slave wages. I am sure you'll choose wisely.

@Exothaumic @kevinryanmedia @Devon_Eriksen_ You are backing what? You'll pull out of what?

@TheStaticRain @kevinryanmedia @Devon_Eriksen_ Because we are backing your money as well as ours. It will equal 0$ as soon as we pull out and you lack the ability to project power.

@polisci235 @standishghost @DavidJones66870 @Devon_Eriksen_ If Portugal had aligned with Spain and France, your Reapers would not make it to Iran, you ignorant.

@TheStaticRain @standishghost @DavidJones66870 @Devon_Eriksen_ You are nothing more than a tool for the US. The faster you accept that, the faster that MAYBE we’ll throw your pathetic country a bone every once in a while.

@kevinryanmedia @Devon_Eriksen_ One euro is worth more than One US dollar

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ Easy to brag on America's dime. Europe, your economy is so bad, you've already lost your national autonomy and your currency....now, you want to pay full freight for your defense. Best of luck...bye.

@RyanStilton @Devon_Eriksen_ Vai-te foder, paneleiro da merda. Is this "arabic" enough for you?

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ I’m sure this post was more eloquent in its original Arabic

@MaMoMVPY It's amazing how @karol admits that the only friends "she" has are imaginary ones

The enormous amount of stupid shit we have to read these days...

@SalsaparrilhaX Carcavelos o ex-libris das praias da linha? Tens mais anedotas para contar?

Na década de 80 vivi tempos felizes em Carcavelos mesmo em frente à praia e ao antigo restaurante Fateixa. A praia de Carcavelos era considerada o exlíbris das praias da linha. Famílias inteiras de locais povoavam aquela praia em sossego e em harmonia. Hoje aquela praia é uma autentica favela à beira mar frequentada por grunhos maioritariamente vindos de fora. As carrinhas da polícia estacionadas nos parques de estacionamento são um sinal claro da qualidade daquele espaço de lazer.

Another "American Hero" complex wrapped in a pseudo-intellectual flag, crying because the neighbors don't say thank you enough for the lawn mower he insisted on buying for the whole block. This whole "we sacrificed our souls so you could have wine and museums" routine is the most beautifully American piece of fiction since the trickle-down effect. It’s the ultimate ego-trip: imagining that your strip malls and your lack of healthcare are some kind of noble martyrdom for the sake of the Louvre. ​Let’s get real. You didn't rebuild Europe because you’re a bunch of soft-hearted patrons of the arts. You rebuilt it because you needed a place to sell your Fords and your refrigerators, and you didn't want the Russians setting up a lemonade stand in Paris. It wasn't charity; it was a hostile takeover disguised as a housewarming gift. You turned Western Europe into a giant neon billboard for capitalism, and now you’re upset that the people living inside the billboard have the audacity to develop a personality. ​And this "Maslow’s pinnacle" nonsense? Give me a break. You think you’re at the bottom of the pyramid "building aircraft carriers" while we’re at the top sipping espresso? You’re not "sacrificing" your culture for ours; you’re just confusing "civilization" with "logistics." Having the biggest stick on the playground doesn't make you the teacher; it just makes you the guy everyone has to be polite to until you leave the room. You built the system, you own the system, and you profit from the system, but the moment the people in that system point out that your house is on fire, you start whining about how "ungrateful" they are. ​The "psychological danger" isn't our arrogance; it’s your insecurity. You’ve spent eighty years equating "greatness" with "ammunition," and now that you’re looking at a world that wants more than just a security guard, you’re throwing a tantrum. You didn't "fund" our culture. Our culture was there a thousand years before your country was a glint in a tax-evader’s eye. You just paid the security bill so you could keep the front row seats to the best show on earth. ​So keep your weather report. We’ll keep the wine, the history, and the "stunted" education that somehow taught us how to run a society without shooting each other in the grocery store. If being "civilized" means trading a piazza for a parking lot and calling it "sacrifice," then you can keep the change. We’re not "better than you" because you made us that way; we’re just the only ones in this relationship who know that you can’t eat an aircraft carrier, no matter how much "freedom" you garnish it with

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

MAGA have been sold the "American Dream" for so long that they’ve forgotten you have to be asleep to believe it. Now, you have the MAGA faithful, sitting in the front row of a circus that hasn't changed its act in years, trying to explain why the empty hat didn't actually produce a rabbit. ​From over here in Europe, watching the coping strategies is like watching a man try to fix a shattered window with a tube of lipstick. They were promised a populist paradise where the "forgotten man" would finally get a seat at the table, but instead, they’re just being told to be grateful for the crumbs falling off the table. Every broken promise is rebranded as a strategic masterstroke by a base that is too deep in the cult of personality to admit they were the ones who paid for the magic show. ​It’s the classic American tragedy: people who have been beaten down by the system for forty years are now cheering for the guy who owns the system. They think they’re sticking it to the "elites" by supporting a man who literally plates his toilets in gold. The cope is real because the alternative (admitting they were suckered by a guy who wouldn't spend five minutes in their living rooms unless there were underage girls in it) is just too painful to swallow. So they pivot to the next culture war, the next distraction, and the next invisible enemy. ​It’s not a lack of intelligence; it’s a surplus of pride. They’re standing in a rainstorm of broken promises, insisting the water is actually liquid gold. Meanwhile, we’re just watching from the sidelines, wondering when the audience is finally going to realize the magician is actually just picking their pockets.

@standishghost @DavidJones66870 @Devon_Eriksen_ Like you have access to a machine that broadcasts your dimwit's opinions to the globe.

@TheStaticRain @DavidJones66870 @Devon_Eriksen_ I'm not replying to you, just labeling you publicly. I'm glad you have accepted. Now everyone knows!

@Captain_IO550 @Devon_Eriksen_ Not as delusional as pretending to be a airplane captain

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ PURE Delusion. People are sooo stupid, especially Europeans.

@lingenmi98683 @Devon_Eriksen_ Centuries of factual history are calling to tell you that you are delusional

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ “You will fade and be replaced with the call to prayer as your bloodlines dry up in the dust of ethnic replacement.”

@standishghost @DavidJones66870 @Devon_Eriksen_ And yet here you are caring to the point you had to reply to me, you pathetic fool.

@TheStaticRain @DavidJones66870 @Devon_Eriksen_ You are a vassal. No one cares what you think.

@vnovak_404 @Devon_Eriksen_ Thank you for not denying your purpose on this network, Víktor or shall I call you by your real name?

@napp4ever @Devon_Eriksen_ I know where my country is and nothing is lost. We would be much happier if you Americans didn't come to visit with your ignorance and prepotence.

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ All that to bend over and lose your country

@Sleepy_Jag @Devon_Eriksen_ When you dimwits don't have arguments you try to discredit the rationale. You are as predictable as a planetary rotation.

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ AI slop response. You outsourced your thinking just like you have outsourced your national defense. You have only proven him right about you.

@vnovak_404 @Devon_Eriksen_ Hello foreign interference agent

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ Hello AI generated reply

@DavidJones66870 @Devon_Eriksen_ I pityy your alleged children, or are they just part of the fantasy world you're building?

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ Omg you proved his points so much.

@Treeofmyth @Devon_Eriksen_ You are supporting a rapist

@TheStaticRain @Devon_Eriksen_ Imagine calling patriotism a bayonet, lol to your la la land and word salad. Europe is suicidal in it's policies. Your ancestors fought countless wars, everyone's ancestors did, we, their offsprings moved on, still super aware of nature's law and eternal conundrums.
