>>508958606>MorallyI won't pretend we're a moral society
>CulturallyWe are, without a shadow of the doubt, the most impactful culture in the world. You watch our movies, listen to our music, and mimic our fashion, the reverse hasn't been true since, again, WWII
>intellectuallyThe most significant intellectual contribution to come out of the European continent since WWII has been communism, which is an absolute disaster.
>SociallySocially, Europeasants are notoriously rude, arrogant, vain, and so dreadfully bureaucratic that you can't accomplish anything at all without it taking so long that by the time you've achieved your goal, the goalpost has already been moved. You project all your failures as a continent onto Americans because if such an arrogant and vain peoples had to face the reality that their culture has produced as little as any 3rd world tribal nation you'd all commit suicide. Every time one of you comes and visits America for yourselves you all make the same comment "wow, America is a much friendlier and more optimistic place than I was lead to believe!" Whereas everyone who visits Europe walks away with the exact opposite impression. Socially, Europe is unappealing as any Asian nation, but without the racial homogeny to justify being so hostile to outsiders.
>EconomicallyIf we're talking about cringey delusions it doesn't get any more extreme than this. Europe is a welfare continent funded almost entirely by American dollars.
Again, just sit back down and observe as the adults on the global stage hash out business, you can go back to riding trains around the continent for a living and telling yourself that Napoleon Bonaparte, and Alexander the Great make up for a century of mediocrity.
