Yeah Europeans would never have a colonial history
In America we're Roman because our nazis still do a particular salute
Your an Aussie, calling yourself a European. That's how your society is different. Other people generally consider themselves to belong to the countries they inhabit, not be from another continent entirely. But the anglo settler colonial nations still call themselves European.
You feel a cultural connection to the people who inhabited the land you live in. I also do I with the people who lived in Australia before me. What's different between us is that I'm not deluded into thinking I'm the same as previous custodians because I live where they did. Our cultures are entirely different and they were largely forcibly displaced. Such is true with literally every tract of land on this planet. The gauls were replaced by the Romans who were replaced by the franks. The ancient Egyptians were replaced by the greeks, then the romans, then the arabs.
Dw tho keep larping as whatever civilisation used to inhabit the land you live in. It ain't weird at all
