    Hey, 'Peans, how come you think a country larger than your pseudo continent is a homogenous hivemind?

    E: what Ive learned from this comment is that apparently, all europeans share 1 single trait, which is just utterly horrid reading comprehension

        If you think saying “that nation isnt homogenous” means “all other nations are homogenous” you probably shouldnt weigh in on adult convos

      Erm… Larger by land mass? Yes. Larger by GDP? No. Larger by number of inhabitants? No. Larger by amount of vastly different cultures that somehow get stuff like this done whole very decidedly not being a hive mind? Also no.

        Lmfao you think europe is more culturally diverse than a country with thousands of cultures from around the world? Thats hilarious.

            Firstly, no one said that. Secondly if you think the amount of immigrant populations in europe are as large or as old as the ones in America you’re understanding of history is even worse than what the Americans know. Europe now has migration like the US did 40+ years ago. The amount and blending of cultures in America is wildly larger than Europe. The fact that y’all are starting to get what the US has had for decades doesn’t make Europe more diverse.
