LOL NOPE
Europe is racist as fuck. Europe has armed gaurds and high fences on its borders. Europe makes it illegal to rescue refugees at sea. Europe locks up refugee children. Europe has killer cops that shoot teenagers of color. Europe is full of fascist politicians nostalgically fantasizing about ethnic cleansing. Not a day goes by without attacks on Muslims.
Fuck Europe.

Well at least we have less shootings. On the other hand we have terrorism

This sort of ‘well at least we don’t have this one thing  thinking is EXACTLY the sort of purposeful evading of our own shit that I’m talking about.

And if the first thing on your mind in this context is ‘terrorism’ and not things like police brutality, racism, fascism, disability cuts, psychiatric institutions, prisons, migrant detention and militarized borders, you either have a huge blindspot towards all state-organized violence or you prioritize white abled documented not-poor lives. Fix your priorities.
