Political Memes

Americans think everyone else hates them when in fact it's usually just all the countries they've lost wars to.

Europeans literally couldn't care less what the Americans think of them because our day to day lives are so much better in almost every sense, and all they could come up with is "Europoors" 😂

That has been my (limited) experience as well. For me as an extremely introverted European, visiting US was quite a culture shock.

All the American people I’ve met have been very kind, easy to approach and hold a conversation with, and ready to help out a stranger in need. Honestly the last part was what stick out with me the most. Here in my country, I have no doubt that if I collapsed on the street, there would be 10 people stepping over my body before someone decided to check if I needed help.

Spain is one of the cheaper holiday destinations for brits. A lot of our worst holidaymakers are making their holidays in Spain.

We truly are cunts as a group when given a warm evening and decently priced alcohol.

The protestant work ethic is one hell of a drug. It was eye opening to learn just how much more vacation and time off European coworkers had. It would make me jealous when I needed a response from them on something but they were on holiday yet again. The joke at the office was that nothing could get done in the summer because all the Europeans were on vacation.

Personally, I would much prefer the European system, and it seems that's something young Americans generally agree on. If people prefer to make more money/pay less in taxes but have less time off , then let them. Just give us a choice.

This made me remember a call I had with a American VIP at the company I worked at, he had put me on speaker as I helped him with his laptop while he was working at home, and his wife broke in at the end of the call complementing my English.

They were both surprised to learn that I was Swedish since I have managed to train myself to loose much of the classic Swedish accent when speaking English.

Yeah if that's the drive-thru one.

I'm not assigning guilt here. I am personally more apt to indulge in a lovely corney 80's storyline with moustaches and such, rather than reality.

But yeah i think parody ihas disappeared, reality is weirder.

I vote for this guy

It doesn't appear to contain political content (at least to me, how is this political to you though?)

I am not the arbiter of what is political or not though, I'm just also curious as to why this isn't in c/memes, but it deserves the upvotes imo

Yes... in the US.

That's kind-of the point. Europeans get to play at being a slightly-exaggerated version of an American, living out their fantasies about letting go of all their inhibitions. But, they wouldn't want to actually live in a place like that. Americans can put down the game, but then have to live in a place where an average Joe can go pay to fire a mini gun, then go to Wal*Mart and buy an AR-15 just for funsies.
