Who are you arguing against? Who said “We’re just so much better than America”? Seems like a straw man. People say what they don’t want the USA to export fascism to their country and some Americans hear “We’re better than America” because some Americans react weirdly to criticism of their country.
Fascism is a danger everywhere. The USA is spreading it everywhere. A lot of people understandably don’t like this.
sounds like a red herring to me. I’m not arguing against a person, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of non-Americans on lemmy that say “Americans bad! Europe is better!” Americans aren’t the problem, our government is. And even if it was Americans, wouldn’t the rest of the world that claims to be better than America not have problems with fascism spreading if they were as good as they claim?
that said, the US is simply a tool being used by Putin through Trump to spread influence everywhere.
