you can’t threaten me with a good time
In germany, a couple peeps agree that china is becoming the better option for living. Both, the US and china are bad actors and enemies to democracy and freedom but at this point, the differences have become technicalities while the US has become more unstable and dangerous to its citizens.
as a german, could you point me to further resources?
Depends on what you hope to find. Generally, independent media will show you the most complete picture. The taz in germany and 404 media are both pretty good afaik.
The conclusion that the US is a threat to democracy has evolved over time. Their financing of the genocide in gaza, their intervention in irak and other countries they had no right to intervene in, the first trump admin which cost millions of americans their lives and now the second one in the process of (allegedly) dismantling the government system alltogether. together with mass deportations and simple deletion of trans people from government docs. Oh and pardonning the insurectionists from jan 6th. No idea what follows.
There are a lot of sources for this stuff but you will have to draw your own conclusion.
