Several EU countries already have fascists or borderline fascists in the government (Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary) or have a raising fascist force grabbing for power (e.g. Germany, Sweden).
Don’t expect too much from the EU. We might very well overtake you on the road to open fascist total control.
Around here the generally accepted rule is that toys lying around on the playground can be used by all kids. They just have to return them. Is this different in the US?
