you seem to think we give a fuck, patriotism is an american thing
Yes, it's become increasingly obvious watching the nations of Europe respond to crises on their borders, such as the refugee crisis from Syria and Libya, the destruction of a civilian airliner over a war torn Ukraine, the impending economic collapse of Greece, etc that the average European only cares about themselves. I too would hold no pride in my country if my "history" was 100s of years of despotic rule by Divinely appointed monarchs who all incestually fucked each other creating an inbred deformed and literally retarded Ruling Elite.. and those genetics have obviously passed down to all of you.. then another few 100 years of pillaging and exploiting the entire world, enslaving massacring and terrorizing every other continent in the name of Imperialism, and then as soon as the UK's Industrial Revolution trickled down to the the continent, Europe collectively decided to genocide the Jews.. who were amongst every nation's best artists, thinkers, etc lol, and ruthlessly kill each other in endless wars of unprecedented suffering for humanity.
Can an average European even find a single thing to be proud of in their history? It was even Europeans that raided sacked and eventually destroyed the Roman Empire, and barbaric warlords that created a "European" identity to replace it. The "Renaissance" was because the forever war-mongering greedy Europeans attacked and destroyed a thriving Constantinople for no reason except to loot it. After the Ottomans finished the job not long after and extinguished Roman civilization for good, the Byzantine refugees grabbed their books and sailed to Italy and Europe took credit for ideas like "the earth is round and revolves around the sun" lmao, basic scientific facts that got you executed in Europe when some dude in 400 BC had the entire planet's circumference calculated already.
Many of these refugees fled to Russia as well, which was Orthodox Christian and was horrified at the massacre by Western powers of fellow Christians. Russia obviously had to get used to the fact that Europeans were never going to stop invading and killing people.. the two modern European empires, Napoleonic France and the Third Reich, crumbled deciding to invade 1000s of miles of Russian territory for no reason except greed and racism, and all froze to death in the process.
Western Civilization's progress stopped when Rome fell and only resumed when America was created by people smart enough to leave Europe for good and start over with Roman law and Greek philosophy as its foundation.
I feel bad for Europeans, even this thread is full of anti-American shitposters dropping their jingoistic pretense and pretending for a moment that they are part of American Democracy, thinking about who they would vote for, laughing at Trump, agreeing with Bernie Sanders on what's best for the economy.. then when an American like me starts to talk to them about it, they wake up and begin to immediately insult me and my nation as uneducated and uncivilized, as the dream fades away..
