Europe and UK people have been so busy pointing and laughing at the US that they don't see their own governments quietly following suit.

Its not quiet. Im pretty sure its illegal to go to the bathroom if your trans in the UK too but you'd never hear that from them so long as Trumps around for a good chuckle.

Unfortunately, that's because a majority of British people are casually transphobic, so see the recent Supreme Court ruling as common sense rather than something bad. It's pretty common for brits to accept that trans people are real, and assume that means they can't be transphobes, despite advocating for treating everyone as their AGAB in the eyes of the law and sport and every other way that isn't whether they can wear a dress.

As George Carlin once said, "In WWII, the Nazis lost, but Fascism won."

We're seeing the ramifications of that play out in real time.

How’s that? Does he meant that Fascism won in Europe before the Nazis went and lost the war?

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

I think he meant that, even though the most notable supporters of Fascism, the Nazis, had been beaten, tried, and executed, the IDEOLOGY won big in worldwide exposure, which allowed it to fester everywhere.

We can definitely see that in the rise of modern populist Authoritarianism movements.

IMO he meant Italian fascism.

Italian fascism promoted a corporatist economic system, whereby employer and employee syndicates are linked together in associations to collectively represent the nation's economic producers and work alongside the state to set national economic policy.[3] This economic system intended to resolve class conflict through collaboration between the classes

Following suit? No the UK makes the USA look tolerable

nothing spells tolerable quite like concentration camps.
