I hear the FDA actually controls American food in a much healthier way than European even though the opposite is commonly thought.
Europeans can definitely be much louder and annoying than Americans.
Europeans can be more racist, mention muslims or Romani people.
European democracy is just as bad.

What do you mean by this? Because when I look at lists of banned substances and why, or pesticide limits, the EC seems much stricter than the FDA.
I don't know enough to speak effectively to the overall point, but the banned food additive list and is only a microscopic portion of what food regulators do
I was thinking of food additives and giving animals antibiotics
Lol, Europe spanks us on both those fronts.
Where are you getting your information on that? Last time I checked there's a whole lot of meats the EU won't allow to be imported from the U.S., due to the additives and antibiotics used. This is particularly relevant to pork.
You are badly misinformed on this point.
Which one he made 4 points
Yes.
Evidently that one
Not this one?
Definitely not that one. Are you insane!
Yes
Yes
European democracy is just as bad.
Have you got a particular country in mind or are you referring to EU elections?
As an European, I think the obscene amount of lobbying we allow to happen around EU institutions is something that makes "European democracy is just as bad" sound reasonable.
I’m referring to the general trend in voting for far right candidates
The politics of Italy, the UK, France, Germany, Hungary, and others all seem close to or worse than the current state of American politics. The only difference is that the US wields a lot more global influence and has no neighbors powerful enough to keep it in check (sorry Canada and Mexico, I still love you). Europe is not doing enough to prevent the spread of its own far-right/neofascist groups and the inevitable erosion of human rights.
The first and the last one are simply not true, the second and third, sure, sometimes
More chemical food dyes are allowed by the EU.
Which fascist did whatever EU country vote for this term?
More chemical food dyes are allowed by the EU.
But their regulations are more strict overall. There are a lot of US foods can't be imported without reformulating the product.

Bruh, we literally just elected a fascist felon who tried to overthrow the government when he lost the last time who openly surrounded himself with fascists pushing project 2025. It's not even a close challenge...
Cognitive dissonance at its finest
I’m not saying the US didn’t vote for one of two fascists, but the EU is as well.
People voting for fascists ≠ bad democracy.
The democracy in the USA is bad because you have a two-party system, meaning that there's barely any choice. In the Netherlands, we have a whole bunch of political parties that share space in Parliament, so that representation is proportional to the votes.
As a result, we have both the PVV and GL-PvdA in Parliament; one is very right on most subjects, the other is pretty leftist.
Europeans can definitely be much louder and annoying than Americans.
I'm general or just in certain topics?
Brits are utter CUNTS in this way
Sincerely, a Brit
I’m particular thinking of my time in southern Spain lol
