Bro they colonized most of the world

[–] jaomile@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I assume you are from USA, which was once a colony and then once freed, has done the same?

[–] MostLikelyLyin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Who hasn’t tried that?

[–] vrkhfkb@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Classy Euros vs American Thugs

I feel like American’s views of Europe and Europe in actuality are much different

[–] lastpagan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely, but there’s always the good and the bad. It’s not all bad like Reddit would have you believe, similarly to how America isn’t all school shooting and police crushing windpipes.

[–] chf_gang@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I’m from belgium and I really don’t think europeans are as cultured and classy as americans like to think they are. If anything I’ve found americans are more cultured and open-minded

[–] SmokimNoah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To an extent he’s right. But also is where you are in the USA

I live in Europe but went to university in DC, I’ve lived in NYC for a long time, and I honestly think people in DC/Northern VA know more about other cultures than the average European.. but they don’t speak more languages. And people from NYC are more accepting of different people (probably because it’s so diverse)

In Spain, The Netherlands, and England (the places I’ve been) I definitely don’t feel like they are any smarter/more knowledgeable than Americans lol. But I think I’ve only lived in very educated parts of the US. Here in Spain we don’t know shit about other cultures lol.

[–] Dennis_enzo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Main thing is that Europeans know that 'Europe' doesn't exist as a culture. It's a landmass and a political entity, nothing else. No one here considers themself to be 'European', you identify with your country. Anything that anyone says about 'Europe' is going to be wrong for a bunch of countries.

[–] RealPrinceJay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, but pop has a lot of experience and he’s objectively correct in terms of travel and speaking languages lol

[–] Bigazzry@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fahrenheit is far better than Celsius in measuring air temperatures

They travel 80 miles and are in a new country. I do that and I’m still 5 hours from Florida

[–] matzan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I travel 80 miles and im either in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium or Luxemburg. I'd rather be in Florida.

[–] DanteThonSimmons@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's not an excuse to be ignorant of other cultures, though. I live in Australia, which is the same size as USA. I could drive for thousands of kilometres and still not reach the next state.... and (being an island) it's literally impossible for me to drive to another country. In Australia, we learn about other cultures and world history from a very young age.

When I became an adult, I worked hard so I could travel the world and explore other cultures. Distance is no excuse. I've travelled from Australia to all over Europe, Asia, North America, and the Pacific Islands.

[–] sunsbr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Europeans are racist af just like americans. Especially from eastern europe.

[–] IronLad420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Spain and Portugal raped and pillaged central and south america. They are so cultured to the point where the decided to destroy other cultures because they didn't want others to have their own religions, languages, and cultures. If you think Americans did the native Americans bad, you wouldn't be able to imagine the atrocities Spain and Portugal committed.

[–] staymelooo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe 40 years ago. Europe is a horrible mess now for many reasons, which I won’t get into

[–] mug3n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pop signs endorsement deal with some French wine company next week

[–] kingkongkeom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lucky bastard!

[–] StrikeIllustrious145@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I will take an American over a million Europeans on any day!!! And I grew up in Europe:)

[–] DangleCellySave@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Holy shit i didn’t realize how soft Americans were lmao

Aren’t you guys the country that popularized the term snowflake..? Don’t you guys make fun of every other country in the world for being worse? and you guys can’t take an obvious tongue and cheek joke?

Reddit moment, go outside please

[–] Hakeem_aguri187@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You’re asking for people to go outside is the most hilarious thing ever.

[–] HussellCrowe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yo I've been to all four disney parks in Florida and I took Spanish in high school. What is more cultured than that pop

[–] NDPhilly1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Another America hating lib

[–] Sternjunk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Germany was tryna kill all the Jews less than a hundred years ago Lmao

[–] GlueGuy00@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pop speaking facts as usual

[–] twelvyy29@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Am from Europa can confirm that I indeed speak a language

[–] Random___Burner@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, they’re more civil than the US, that’s why they’ve started 2 World Wars and several genocides.

[–] Like_a_Charo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Frenchman here.

With all my huge respect to Pop, he’s mostly wrong.

[–] 1chromosomeTOOmuch@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I personally believe, that US Americans are unable to travel as much, because some people out there in your nation don't have maps.

[–] Dutchofclass@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes thank you pop for that generalising comment..we are 1 people without nations, regions, dialects and different histories and cultures...uuuughh

[–] PatNewbie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Am I the only one who doesn’t think Pop is being entirely serious here lol? Why’s everyone so triggered

[–] VersatileButter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a woke villain. I refuse to see the humor in this, I want blood.

[–] OkBuddyErennary@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] stupidchair7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In before this thread gets closed. Never thought I would see it on NBA 💀

[–] stupidchair7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That quote and this pic is perfect.

[–] NotNeon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

America bad upvotes please

[–] SevenHunnet3Hi5s@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

asians and africans don’t travel as much either so i guess they’re uncultured too lol

[–] BrokenManOfSamarkand@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pop being a boomer Euro-simp is the least surprising development of the 21st century

[–] SlavaRapTarantino@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pop always remains a total jackass.
