Congress at 15% approval rating is damning for democracy. FYI, 26% of Americans believes the sun revolves around the earth, and so that 15% is the functionally full tropic thundered not aware of how bad it is.
Democracies tend not to fight each other, or so the theory goes.
Authoritarian countries also usually ignore human rights. China (and Russia) constantly get called out on the human rights abuses by Europe, which irates the ruling class of China. This isn’t to say Europe is the shining beacon on the hill, they are just seen as the lesser evil.
The fact Europe still hasn’t broken all ties with Israel over their human rights abuses tells me their supposed democratic values are more window dressing than anything.
Europe is led by material interests, not democratic values.
There’s the whole democracy thing.
In that China is one and Europe isn’t, you mean?

Jesus Christ. Westerners really are the most brainwashed people on earth
With uh…minimal due derision, this isn’t a theory that holds up to scrutiny or even makes sense internally
The fact Europe still hasn’t broken all ties with Israel over their human rights abuses tells me their supposed democratic values are more window dressing than anything.

They/most of them have Zionist supremacist laws forbidding speech against genocide.
Well there is the fact that Europe isn’t one homogeneous political entity. Spain, Ireland and Norway openly went against Israel.
But if Germany supplies Israel and cracks down kn pro Palestine speech, can you say they’re as democratic as those other countries?
Germany isn’t Spain, Norway or Ireland.
Your original point is that Europe gets along with itself because of democracy. If some, like Germany, are less democratic, can you really say that?
Most of European countries don’t like Hungary because of Viktor Orban. Same with Poland when the PiS party was in power.
So you judge Europe only by the countries that suit you?

Europe is the lesser evil for whom? Certainly not the victims of European colonialism and imperialism.
And when you look, you’ll see those former colonies are getting closer with Russia and China.
You realise we have democracy in China right? Just not western style liberal democracy.
