I started watching YouTuber Evan Edinger recently and it’s been a breath of fresh air because he’s been saying things I understood to be true a long time ago, but never quite verified until now.
One of those being about American exceptionalism and how Americans will only ever make judgement about other countries (including the EU) from the highly deformed perspective of their local news. And they’ll do this, knowingly, with no remorse, because they’ve been taught all their life America is the best so there are no reasons to doubt or consider that things aren’t quite right.
Being a continent away, with no idea what is going on over here, americans don’t understand EU culture, nor how it relates to German culture. Fox News does not understand what exactly happened in that particular case you linked, let alone you who is reading a ragebait-fueled summary of it.
You also clearly don’t understand how the European Commission works and what it is able to actually do.
Should I bother correcting you? Of course not: you are most likely not interested otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation. The information is available freely online if you so desire and if you are willing to get out of your comfortable bubbles that constantly prioritise the aforementioned American exceptionalism.
Bravo!
So many words with 0 useful information.
I’m European, you self righteous authoritarian lover.
You're British, so you're European when it suits you, and American when it matters. Two steps from the 51st state.
Is this HN now? Some kids going around name-calling?
What do you know of what I am or am not? What a silly thing to escape the actual discussion.

And? You're linking a US media website, one famous for having its head way up the american exceptionalism hole.
Also, didn't you vote to not call yourself European or something-something?

Oh, I didn’t notice we are already in the censorship phase and we can’t even link Fox News. It’s a factual news (but you are free to contest it) and if Fox is the only one willing to publish it, it says more about European descent into madness than you think.

What are you even talking about? You people are insane. You need to be stopped before you destroy us all.
