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:
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
πŸ§€ The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins πŸ’Ά 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 β€œonly in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

The US being pro Armageddon is really such a strange thing to nearly everybody. Also the reason they support Zionism, as the Jews returning to the Holy Land is said to trigger the end of the world.

Do they believe or do they want us to believe that they believe?

It’s a healthy dose of both grifters and true believers, like any good cult.

What about the leaders like Bush, do they believe?

How do I know solipsism is wrong?

I don't, but you say you're a real person and you do all the things a real person would do so I have to pretend to believe you

But I'm on to you anyway, delusion of my mind

It's very hard to understand even half of what American Evangelicals are babbling about without a long and comprehensive talk about the history of the various movements and beliefs.

The best way I could even get started was some long series of blog posts, long ago, written by a theologian, who did pretty good critical literary commentary on the Left Behind series of novels. Looked at the nonsensical stupidity on the pages and then explained why was it that way.

Oh God I forgot about those books! I grabbed the first one not really knowing, thinking it was gonna be some cool post apocalypse adventure romp around. Only got a couple chapters in. It was sooooo bad.

I thought this was a Warhammer joke about Gork and Mork at first.

I prefer Gork, for he is brutal, yet also kunnin’.

"We're terribly sorry Mr. President. We'd love to help, but we don't know either."

There were lots of preachers all over Texas in the 1970's to 1990's preaching about the end times and Gog and Magog. He probably used their pronunciation.

The simplest way to explain their ideas is with the following meme.

Eh. Plenty of nutters around. No sense in spending time trying to figure out each unique band of nonsense. We'd never get anything useful done.
