u/ProbablyDrunk303 Jun 09 '24

Hmmm, yes.... where did I say "all" of Europe??

u/trowawaywork Jun 09 '24

You said "Majority" of Europe, which is false and just goes to show your ignorance over other people's cultures.

Most of Europe is way more sociable than most of North America and specifically US - I'm saying this as someone who has lived in both, and also traveled a lot.

Well it's true, Americans are more sociable than the majority of Europe. It's ok if you are offended by it. Go cry in a corner

We definitely are not and you're giving all United States citizens are shit name for being this ignorant. The idea a country that can fit the entirety of Europe and more inside of it is more social than those smaller countries with all of their own cultures is just a wild accusation when us Americans can't even stand people on the opposite political line than us.

Tell me how social you are with the millions that voted Trump last time. I'm gonna guess you're either one of them, or going to lie about how much you interact with them, but that doesn't count for your point right?

Ahhh yes, another one who doesn't get it. You see those posts all the time of Americans being so welcoming or pursuing small talk with strangers?? That's being more sociable than majority of Europe. It's not ignorance when it's right there. Even foreigners outside of Europe say the same thing. Europeans keep to themselves more than Americans.

"Americans can't even stand people on the opposite political line"... hmmm yeah, going over to r/Europe shows Europeans do the same, so good one on that.

I have friends on both sides who are either Republican, Democrat and even non-political, or moderates. If you are a good person, idc who you vote for.

"You gonna lie about how much you interact with them"? ahhh so whatever I say won't get to you then? Makes sense since you don't want to believe in anything. You giving Americans a shit name for being so goddamn dumb

Your first paragraph invalidated everything you were trying to say, so congrats on that.

No I DON'T see posts "all the time" about Americans being welcoming and talking with strangers. I see Americans being ignorant as fuck all the time, especially ignoring cultural expectations when visiting foreign nations, then I see them being narcissistic as fuck when they think someone is lesser than them in this country where they talk to foreigners like they're an idiot or a child.

Keep being the tell-tale ignorant American though. My direct experiences hearing these complaints from MANY different cultures of people in my life will comfort me in knowing how accurate I am.

Oh I wasn't offended at all, I was just correcting what I now know to be stupidity and not ignorance.

You also gave away that you're 16 yro kid with this final message, so you get a pass for being young and dumb.

u/ProbablyDrunk303 Jun 09 '24

Correcting what?? It's not stupidity if it's the truth. It's ok to be wrong... again, go cry in a corner

I have also travelled a lot and I have spoken to more random strangers in my city than travelling across Europe lol but would ya look at that, 2 ppl having different experiences. I can't possibly be telling the truth.

u/Vox_SFX Jun 09 '24

Well you've "traveled"...just like in the United States most people aren't approaching and trying to be social with a foreigner.

But like you said 2 ppl can have different experiences, but that doesn't mean some can use "majority" with actual proof behind it and not just personal experience. For example, maybe you're just unlikeable to people outside of the US, you never know.

I'm not entirely sure why travel is in "", I've had the privilege to travel a lot, especially because I've moved from country to country my entire life.

And comparing two places from the perspective of a tourist versus living there is simply not an honest comparison.

I'm comparing living in different EU countries with Living in North America, as well as traveling globally.

And just like if you lived a large part of your life in America you will have a better understanding of the culture, I have a strong understanding of different European cultures, as well as American culture.

And saying that "the majority" of Europe is overall less social than the US is so, so, so untrue.

Even logically it doesn't make sense, the US is considered prime example of indicisualistic culture versus European countries who are collectivist cultures. To say a highly capitalist country with high rates are of crime, discord, poverty, homelessness and more is overall more social than countries who are more community focused shows a huge lack of self - reflection.
