Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

I mean, I don't necessarily disagree with your points.
But why aren't we allowed to be upset about people trying to do bad things to my country that might affect me? Because I was born in a country that does bad things?
I don't begrudge the people of China, Russia or the US for their governments actions.
Who's stopping you? I pointed out the irony in Europeans, who constructed and benefit from the most brutal imperialist system in human history, presenting themselves as underdogs when threatened by other empires, all of which were targets of that imperialism.
Your "pointing out" is pretty confrontational.
I think we probably aren't going to have much of a fun discussion here so I'm going to do us both a favour and wish you a good night, friend.
Oh how gracious and civil of you.
Revanchism never produces peace and will always fuel conflict.
What a telling term to use.
