The American military elite over there, for example, is completely subservient to the mercantile elite. The entirety of Europe is ultimately made of vassel states to the US empire.
It's pretty hard to hear Americans you admire blow raspberries at Europeans for being "weak". Gun ownership works great against overt, Hollywood-style tyrannies, but can't do shit about the WEF's economic revolutions planned for the next 20-30 years or demographic. Big capital controls the state.
Wherever you live, the mercantile elite are in charge.
The only chance for change is a multi-polar world arising where the US empire loses its hegemony.
