That is an article from not even a month ago. The EU operates it’s border forces more at the exterior, but they are there doing all kinds of things that are violating humans rights daily.
The EU is not that shining beacon of liberty that most people think it is. It’s a bunch of nation states that do nation state things.
Most people won’t see it and if this can’t be put under the rug you will have a lot of newspapers who will happily come up with excuses why this was necessary.
The constant stream of “Muslims equals terrorists, most Palestinians are Muslims, therefore they are terrorists” helps a lot there.
And people want to be on the majority side which they identify as “good”.
Also you shouldn’t underestimate the fear factor.
If people admit that this was unnecessary police violence, they suddenly realise that nothing is stopping the police of doing that to them. So to calm their anxiety they will either say " immigrants, they shouldn’t be here in the first place" or “there must be more to that story, that we don’t see/know”.
The EU is not far from the US in many aspects. The actions are just more subtile and the propaganda is better.
Yep, EU jingoism is on the rise. There’s unfortunately quite a lot of it here on Lemmy. It reminds me of the tankies - America bad so EU must be good.
Nah yall are just ten years behind like always.
Yeah, propaganda yourself out of that…
Please, explain to me what you mean?
I never said it’s as bad as in the US, but I have worked with immigrants and I have seen things.
Also there is a lot of normalisation going on. Here is a good example.

What i wanted to say was: How can you propaganda yourself out of that?
A policeman walks to a pregnant woman and pulls her and she falls on the ground. On her back luckily.
Even if you cite the most niche law that somehow justifies this i will side with the woman.
Even the dog thought that was a bad idea.
I totally misunderstood your comment, sorry.

True.
