  No kidding, I’m tired of people acting like I’m an idiot because I don’t have the European countries and their positions on the world map memorized. It’s a continent I’m unlikely to ever visit, why would I need to know these things?

  “Europeans know these things about America, why don’t you learn them about Europe?”

  I never asked y’all to learn about my country. I’m not gonna judge you if you can’t pinpoint Sedgwick County, KS on a map. I live here, I have plenty of reason to know it. Someone living in Avignon doesn’t

    euro heads don’t understand the sheer scale and basedness of america, the entire american country cover the entire geographical region of basically ALL of europe collectively. It is quite literally a country on the scale of no other country.

    Except for maybe russia, but thats mostly ice so nobody cares.
