«(...) Pensaba a menudo que los hispanoamericanos, aunque humildes y hoy mínimos, somos también lejanos vástagos de la Roma inmortal, por cultura y lengua; y no es imposible que, al ejemplo y la voz de la Italia fascista, sacudamos un día nuestro vergonzoso y vil sopor, y como ella acertemos a enmendarnos y regenerarnos».
—José de la Riva-Agüero, Italia, faro e guida della Latinitá, 1934.

Why the fuck do people from the US with no understanding of anything European comment every single fucking protest in Europe saying "oh my God [in this case G.od I guess] it's so over why has EVROPA done that to herself oh my God there's even... a trashcan on fire..."

A Quick Google search teaches me that it's from July and that the fire was from construction work nearby.
Belgian art hoes sleeping with oafish Pakistani guys, British exchange student chicks getting into fist fights, German female professor having a mental breakdown mid-class, French foid smoking hash out of an orange juice bottle.
To expand on this. There's an interesting scene in the film "Alatriste" about 17th-century Spain that contrasts Spain with Sicily. The main characters' nemesis, an Italian from Palermo, "Malatesta", bequeaths his wife to the Spaniard who kills him. The Spaniards are taken aback by this: treating a woman as a transferable piece of property or a hand-me-down spoil of a duel.
For the Sicilian, this is pragmatism; passing her to the man capable of killing him is a realistic provision for her survival. A pragmatism and sense of honor shaped by centuries of violent upheaval, foreign conquest, and clan-based survivalism. This is in opposition to Spanish concepts of women’s honor being intertwined with male prestige, strict religious morality (pundonor), and the grandiose posturing of Spanish imperial honor.
I met art hoes from Antwerp who were sleeping with South Asians on student visas. Progressive Euro whore nihilism is as grim as it gets.
Japan and Brazil are different stories. Those girls would eat their own vomit before doing anything like that.

This was typical for Europe at the time; only the Germanic countries, England, France, and the Benelux nations could be considered modern, while the rest remained feudal and were attempting to catch up.
Nazi Paleo-Futurism (1941)
From a German poster from 1941 which shows Third Reich images of the future. The poster was in a book called Durch die weite Welt vol. XIX, one in a series of books for boys.
The headline and main text read:
"What new things will the technology of tomorrow bring?
Today still a venturous plan - tomorrow maybe reality
Technology and economy in the Greater German Reich have gone into an unexpected upswing. The largest network of Autobahn highways has been constructed in just a few years, whole new industries were created and great architectural and urbanistic tasks are about to be realised. Although the war, that was forced upon us, makes it necessary to concentrate our economy on the war efforts, the great plans for the buildup are drawn with the certitude of our victory in mind. Many keen inventions and many thoughts that still seem fantastic today will then be realised. The pictures in this poster show on which branches the engineers are working today and what the technology of tomorrow will bring."
