      Grouping Europe (or America) together as one can be corrupt in some situations, but I don't believe it is accurate to mention the entire of Europe when talking about colonisation. There is a big part of the continent of Europe that never had anything to do with colonisation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colonies

      You are right that Europeans and American's are very similar in some areas, for one that might have to do with the fore mentioned colonisation of America. Heck America has been doing a digital take over of the world, which Europeans are just (or a couple years ago) realising it is in our best interest ot create our own alternatives.

      But there are tons of differences as well, for one, that America is a country and Europe is a continent. Which isn't even all united. The EU only has 27 states and a couple that want to be, while Europe has 51 countries. That is not that important when talking about culture, to be fair. You can see a lot of cultural differences when looking into company culture, work ethics, how people pay, sharing meals/receipts or things like sports, but also on the sense of the military and how nationalistic people are.
      All of the above are also different between different European countries, some might have similar things regarding sports or things that are centrally arranged like payment methods/platforms, but others are vastly different between countries. The Fresh are generally a very nationalistic people, while the Dutch are more or less the opposite.

      Edit: where are you from?

      I would be remiss as someone in the US who wants to love computers to not emphasize that most people in the US are just realizing or haven't realized it yet.

        That applies to most conflicts since WWII. Name one since then we really won. Not that its the soldiers fault in any way.

          I feel like fragility and dominance go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. Somehow both perpetrator and victim.

            America won the war against smoking in restaurants, which is nice.

            Maybe we won because we didn't actually have a war.

                    The meme literally says "boomers" in it. You paint with a pretty broad brush with those generalizations.

                    I'm American and an old millennial and when I think of the Vietnam War all I feel is shame. We for sure "lost" in so many senses but we've "lost" just about every armed conflict we've been involved in since WWII.

                    America always seems to make the worst of a bad situation and escalate things. Really we should have only kept our bases in Europe and Asia long enough for them to recover from WWII and then begun transitioning back to local allies.

                      Thats understandable. I don't think I actually won any.

                      That's fine. Being the fastest at getting from A to B using just legs is rarely a deal breaker. Though, you'd have probably tried harder if the trophy was called the "Least likely to die in an open field of zombies trophy".

                      You'd win plenty of trophies if they made an event for the stuff you're best at.
