comparing internet comments when americans can’t locate a 2000 sq mile city-state with an unpronounceable name on a map in central eastern europe versus when europeans fail to understand the scale of a damn continent on the same map is some wild contrast ngl.
if you don’t realize that a country which spans most of a major continent (which you have seen depicted next to your own continent on every world map for your entire life) is not the same size as spain or france, then the issue is much deeper than nationality.
Bullshit aside, I wonder how common this is in Europe. I’m absolutely not going to defend our (USA) education level, especially when we’re working on one-upping 1939 Germany. But, I wonder if for some Europeans being actually blind to this sort of stuff (post is obviously a joke) it has to do with the density of Europe, or if it has to do with conflict being distracting or sustainability being fulfilling.
