        And you think Europe doesn’t have its own share of obscenely rich people, corruption, anti-competitive behaviour and market manipulation?

          No, the US is not a liberal democracy anymore. But Europe has functioning liberal democracies. That’s why billionaires like Musk fund a media war against the European Union and portray European cities as dangerous Muslim slums.

              There is research that ranks democratic integrity across countries. Maybe base your impression on systematic evidence?

              Clearly it’s very important whether the extreme right is in government. If anything, that’s what German history should have taught all of us
