US Vice President JD Vance recently gave a speech in Europe that received a lot of attention, where he called out EU leaders as tyrants against their own peoples, talking of the crackdowns on free speech, and mentioning the UK where citizens can be arrested and treated as dangerous criminals for silently praying for all concerned 200 metres from an abortion clinic. The authorities not great at prioritizing the stopping of raping gangs that they knew about for years, but top class at shutting down thought crimes involving prayer.
Did this make me angry - the presumption of this American coming over here, questioning our leaders’ intentions and practices, and hurting their feelings?
Not exactly. What actually came to mind is it’s a bit like a gang of schoolyard bullies picking on someone weak and having their own way enjoying themselves for so long. But now the victim’s big powerful older brother has turned up and the dynamic has had a very big change.
