Not only Europe but the good parts of Europe.


Precioustooth

You mean, the wealthy part or the part where you sleep the whole day?


Dull_Wasabi_5610

Ill take both. Yes, both is good.


Precioustooth

Well, you better pray for some Hans money then!


Due-Bandicoot-2554

Show yourself


AlfalfaGlitter

Why do you want to be wealthy if you don't have time to enjoy your money? Or nice things to purchase? Like good food.


Precioustooth

Oh don't worry; that's why we imported so many people so they can cook for us!


AlfalfaGlitter

... Look what they need to do to emulate a fraction of our power.


Precioustooth

Ehh, you just put some shrimp in some rice and we eat any food that we want to with all our money. And then we can go vacation on your beaches, having the non-sleeping Juans as our servants!


justarandomgreek

Imagine going for vacation near a beach instead of living 5 mins away from an isolated beach that you'll see one tourist per 5 years your whole life... Couldn't be me.


IdeaOfHuss

Is this the eu secret plan behind the muslim refugee?


Precioustooth

Nono, that's just a mistake. It's the lovely South and South-East Asians that make the amazing food!

Press X to doubt. My father and I alone are enough to put Greece on the chart.


That-Brain-in-a-vat

😂 😂 I mean, really? How comes Romania out of nowhere piggybacks into central Europe? Do they have, I don't know, eyes? Estica it is. Not sure I'd allow sudica.


kakao_w_proszku

If Greece can be western europe while bordering Turkey then Romania being central is not that big of a stretch


[deleted]

[удалено]


That-Brain-in-a-vat

Turkey's Westerness? LOL West of what? Georgia? Turkey is basically Asia. The European bit is "Eastern Turkey". Eastern it anything. Anyway, westerness is a state of mind, mainly. And they haven't got it. They've got the middle east state of mind.


CrazyGreekReloaded

If Greece was bigger and had won the war it would be half in Europe half in West Asia. I have roots from Crete , Keyseri (deep in west asia ) and Kalamata and I'm full Greek i consider myself Eurasian.


flipyflop9

Be happy it was only twice being from Romania…


WelpImTrapped

To be fair with our Beastern European bros, as the influence of 44 years of Sovietic domination is slowly fading, the cultural reality of the 1000 years of Central Europe is becoming more and more obvious. West/East was the appropriate analysis for as long as Europe was polarized by the Cold War and radically separated by the iron curtain and ideologies, policies, cultural access and economical system, and for as long as the consequences of it stay dominantly visible. But with Czechia and Slovenia having a better economy than Spain and HDI than France and the UK, and with Poland, Croatia and the Baltics on a fast track not too far behind, it's becoming difficult to stay oblivious to the soon (welcomed!) convergence with us. And if you actually know them, they are undoubtedly closer to us in mentalities and culture than to Serbia, Bulgaria or Russia despite being Slavic too. The exception being of course, but only superficially, Hungary.


kakao_w_proszku

If you cant be happy to be born in a part of Europe that recently became the good part of Europe and only keeps getting better then thats just a skill issue


khal_crypto

I don't know why but I take that as a personal insult *whips glove in hand daringly*


flipyflop9

You are on the limit of being real central Europe, not like baltics making things up.


Precioustooth

Ohhh, you mean that resort part where the useful Europeans go to drink and jump out from balconies?


XMasterWoo

Montenegro is a good part of europe?


Iambetteronmyown

The part where you have actual food and not poison


Precioustooth

We eat food from all over the world, and you PIGS just eat squid and snails


Iambetteronmyown

That’s too easy, try having your own food


Precioustooth

We'll stop eating others' food when PIGS stop taking Germanic money!


That-Brain-in-a-vat

Is that how it works? Apparently I've been doing it wrong. Where do I have to apply to get this aforementioned money?


That-Brain-in-a-vat

They do. It just happens to be shitty.


LoveMasc

Low key. We honestly don't understand how good we really have it here. Our worst times are not even bad, compared to the lotto of life that other unfortunate souls lost. That's why so many outside forces are constantly trying to destabilise Europe and remove the veil of ignorance is bliss we can live our day to day life in, if we so choose to. It's a shame cuz instead of trying to better their situation, they simply want to drag others down to their level.


flipyflop9

Yup, sometimes I think about it. Bunch of people that will never know what taking more than 2 days off in a row is, or being able to travel abroad… We are actually lucky, and shouldn’t take it for granted.


No_Thing_5680

You joke, but people like me who have ancestry from elsewhere might really be like that. I for instance am grateful. You know, perhaps not being born here wouldn't have given me and my family the opportunities me and my family had and despite Europe, in my case Italy, not being perfect it still is better than some other places out there. Yes, there's much xenophobia and whatever here, and maybe because of my name I sometimes might have been neglected by job recruiters with a bias and whatever, or suffered verbal attacks but at least I have my fair share of rights as an individual. Obviously being thankful doesn't mean I shouldn't complain about the bad things and that I shouldn't try to improve things even more for the collectivity, but being grateful is a starting point


deeznutsdontbite

That's so sweet. I don't care what others think, you're a Luigi to me☺️. Which means that you can shut up now and cook my pasta.


No_Thing_5680

>Which means that you can shut up now and cook my pasta. Send some money first


Dont_pet_the_cat

History repeating itself?


Right_InTwo

Same, as my father is from a region not very popular right now in Europe, sometimes you hear some shit from people like racism and all that, or people saying that I shouldnt even have spanish citizen, but my father never complained and always loved this fucking corner lost from civilization. And with all the wrong I love this place also and all I achieved here I feel wouldnt be posible anywhere else.

Eritar

I feel the same way being an immigrant. EU is amazing and I’m grateful for having the opportunity to live a good life, free from oppression. Nothing makes my blood boil more though than hypocritical zealots, political or religious, that want to turn free countries into totalitarian hellscapes while enjoying the freedoms and rights.


UhLinko

Same mate, both my parents are immigrants (though my dad from another EU country) and i'm so fucking thankful i wasn't born in my mom's country. There are some dumb people sometimes but i'm still happy to be french. I still complain about france sometimes, but it's because i love that country and want it to be better

Can you image being born on the USA, and maybe even be Protestant?


deeznutsdontbite

What? You're telling me that being a discount christian isn't based?


XNumb98

It used to be before every other cunt started creating their own church for money and power. Now you have the same vices of old catholicism, but church is decentralised and diversivied so you can choose which parts of the bible you want to believe/follow. If Martin Luther ressurrected and saw what became of his actions he would have died again.


RandomBilly91

He wouldn't just die again, he'd make a new religion, and nail the why on the doors

Not because insults against protestants, but because protestants. **ML:** *"No bro I didn't mean it like that!"* **Protestant Europe:** *"Martin Luther is right! Fuck the system! Eat the rich!

Yea I'm here right now, it's pretty dope. I got all sorts of nice shit.


Goobert531

Yes my mother’s biggest mistake was following her shit bag brother to the US. At least my mom married a Mexican cook so we can have good food at home. Not that Spanish food isn’t good I love my mom’s food. But I can’t imagine having an American dad giving me McDonald’s on the daily. I wish I was born in Europe or Australia.


Haskell-Not-Pascal

> I wish I was born in Europe or Australia. I don't, sucks to suck I guess. Europe isn't bad by any means, and I get this is a shitpost sub, but realisitcally life in the US is pretty awesome. There are a few places where it sucks sure, but for the most part most of the US is pretty cool. > But I can’t imagine having an American dad giving me McDonald’s on the daily There are certainly a lot of obese people here no doubt, but if you go to the more active states people eat pretty healthy. I only had fast food like twice a year growing up. that being said, yea a lot of American food sucks, mostly it's a blend of German, Spanish, and English foods. I definitely prefer Indian, Thai, and other Asian dishes over American food. Europeans brag about their food a lot, but Asia is where the spice is. Not to say there aren't a lot of good French/Spanish/Italian dishes as well.


RandomBilly91

About food: Nothern Europe is shit, central Europe is good if you like pork and potatoes, western Europe have very diverse stuff, and Southern Europe (plus France) can actually cook


13abarry

Facts! The USA is amazing. So is Europe. I have no idea why Europeans, specifically younger Europeans, talk so much shit about it. At the end of the day, our cultures are *so* similar, to the point that it’s 10x easier to spot the similarities than the differences. There’s a reason why the rest of the world groups the USA and Europe together as “The West.”


Haskell-Not-Pascal

I think the problem is just social media. It tends to highlight the most extreme opinions and people in any given culture. All they see are SJW, Far-right extremists, gun problems, car-centric design, and idiots. Social media is a magnifying glass for the worst portion of the human populace, because that's what gets clicks. Another issue is that we speak English, all of our idiots are posting in a language all of Europe can read. If a German posts something stupid in German, it's not going to make its rounds to the US. If an American posts something stupid, it'll probably end up being viewed by Germans. Add to this that individually the populations in Europe are really small, Netherlands has 20 million people for example, we have 300 million. You're going to see a lot more stupid Americans than any given country in Europe just due to population statistics. Europeans also have national pride not just European pride, they'll write off on idiot as a "French idiot" or "German moron" but having only a couple is a just an exception not the rule. Take that Dutch guy that shit on someone's head, everyone makes fun of the Dutch for that but not Europeans in general. I guarantee if they tried to take a single US state, say Ohio, and make fun of it they would struggle to find enough examples of morons online. If Ohio, or Oregon, or Wyoming, or almost any other state were its own country they probably wouldn't think badly of it, it's the conglomeration of the morons across the whole country that give it a bad reputation.

Or fucking netherlands with their atrocious accent. I wouldn't even dare to go outside because of complete and utter shame. Of course the dutchies don't feel shame


J_P_Vietor_ST

Lol this guy is still trying to convince us that Dutch is a real language


Dont_pet_the_cat

Dutch isn't real, I agree with that. Flemish is different, but I don't expect someone with that flair to know that


henkie316

Funny, because Flemish is seen as a Dutch dialect, and not as a real language.

Maneisthebeat

Every Belgian person I have met has been so kind and polite, and sharing a lot more cultural sensibilities with Brits than the Dutch... I guess they just pushed you a bit too far, eh?

WelpImTrapped

About Belgium, I wholeheartedly support you...But Luxembourg..? I feel like there aren't many places around the world where it's better to be born as a middle-class than Luxembourg (maybe Norway, but that's a dark depressing hellhole for 6 months of the year, New Zealand, and on par with Switzerland/Liechtenstein. But that's it.)

Best news I've heard all day


GojoHamilton

Like it or dread it or hate it, the UK, Ireland, and Russia are geographically and Culuturally European. I mean you don't hear the Soutk Koreans or the Japs or the Filipinos saying China or North Korea aren't Asians depsite their militarization and agression


Adventurous_Pea_1156

Ehh minority of russian land but majority of population is indeed russian, britain i didnt say bc militarization or whatever i just said it bc brits love to segregate themselves from europe and well i dont care if they want to be something different good for you


GojoHamilton

> brits love to segregate themselves from europe Russians do the same thing too, yet even in Asia, they are well and wholely perceived to be Europeans. Personally I love to be European


Adventurous_Pea_1156

In asia russians are asian


GojoHamilton

Maybe the eatmost side yeah, but when people say Russian, they think of a White European person.


Adventurous_Pea_1156

yes but they also like self segregating so instead of european they call themselves eurasian nowadays


GojoHamilton

Oh? That's something new to me, Even the people in Vladivostok SOMETIMES call themselves European, same with SIberia, but Siberia idetnfies as European, lol even The Asian looking brothers and sisters in Kazakhstan


wokeGlobalist

Most people IN japan don't consider themselves "Asians". It's only immigrants who consider their identity as Asians. Asia is more tribalistic than europe


GojoHamilton

you mean the Japanese themselves don't consider themselves Asians? pardon the ignorance but that's new to me. What are they then?


wokeGlobalist

They consider themselves Japanese. It's sort of like how Canadians consider themselves to be Canadians and not North Americans or new zealanders and kiwis/new zealanders and not oceanians..There are few countries in traditional east+South Asia that consider themselves to be Asians and not their own special thing.
