Europe is a fake continent made by fragile crackers that wanted to have their own special crackerland separate from Eurasia.
I've always found it weird how Europe gets to be a continent but India is only a subcontinent. I mean, I get why (white supremacy) but still
The entire idea of continents is stupid anyway, really. I understand the desire to name locations on the map for easy identification and reference, that’s fine, but the execution is arbitrary as fuck as far I can tell.
Most of the issue is Asia, Europe and, to a degree, Africa. At some point we just started using Middle East to describe the area vaguely east of Egypt and west of India. Just draw a giant fucking circle south of Russia and between those countries and call it “Middle East.” Ignore all history, ignore cultural differences. They are all one thing now.
I could definitely rant about a bunch of other shit like “Russia? The fuck is going on there?” or “Africa: Continent or country? Don’t ask Americans!” but I really just find the entire idea of continents to be kind of silly. More silly than the usual “nations are dumb” kind of way. Even more arbitrary and ultimately meaningless.
Also, everyone always says Australia is the only country and continent simultaneously. But isn’t New Zealand part of the Australian continent? Or are the Kiwis just special? (Yes, I’m trying to start shit between the Kiwis and the ‘stralians). What about Antarctica. Google? What the fuck is google? No thanks, I’m just typing and guessing shit now. It’s like advanced Wikipedia perverts. They read made up shit and believe it. I just make shit up and ask easily answered questions.
Edit: apparently I posted this last night in a weird half-sleep state. I apologize for nothing. My brain is weird.
I like to call it Eurafrica when I'm talking with libs. They dislike being reminded that the foundations of European culture were almost all developed in Africa.
Then when they'd stolen all they could, they forgot about the continent and plummeted into the dark ages until they met west Asians, whose scholarly outputs helped backwards Europe to turn the lights back on.
After draining all they could, they stagnated again until they found the Americas, where they found parliamentary democracy and many other theretofore inconceivable inventions.
Marx called it primitive accumulation when the capitalists started doing it but Europeans have been propping themselves up on the heritage of the rest of the world for millennia. I guess Europe could be called 'Thievesope' but that is a bit tautologous.
Yeah, the two supposed methods for finding continental boundaries are geology and culture, which makes absolutely no sense for Crackerland. My brain worms demand I point out that the Isthmus of Suez is, at least, a distinct geological feature.
But the so-called boundary they drew on Eurasia is (from Wikipedia) "along the Turkish straits, the Caucasus, and the Urals and the Ural River (historically also north of the Caucasus, along the Kuma–Manych Depression or along the Don River)". That's such obvious nonsense lol
Could you elaborate on this, please?
If Europe is fake, shouldn't it be Asia not Eurasia lol.
It could be! But when I say it's fake, I'm saying it's a subcontinent. It exists but there's no material reason for Europe to be its own continent while the Indian subcontinent is part of Asia. Crackers just wanted a crackerland.
For sure, it's ridiculous that India (and Arabia) is excluded but Europe is not. Eurindarasia is a little silly sounding though...
Why not just call it all Asia then. Genuine question.
You’re definitely American.
I think, apart from to racists, Europe is just a reference to a region.
An arbitrary region with no material or geological basis. They just drew a line and said "this is where Europe ends and Asia begins". Nonsense.
they didnt draw a line, they drew 272 different lines.
europe is the UK and france
europe is the EU
europe is anything west of russia
europe is anything up to the urals
europe is whatever people want it to mean in that particular moment.
More or less how it works. Your country isn’t special.
First off, god damn America. All my homies hate America.
Now that that's out of the way, Europe and Asia are not countries. In fact! The dividing line between Europe and Asia runs through a damn country. That's such obvious nonsense. Europe is just Crackerland, its so-called boundary runs through a country lol
It's Eurasia dwi
People like you are as annoying as white supremacists.
people like you very often are white supremacists. no one else benefits from trying to equivocate between someone being "annoying" and someone who wants to exterminate non-white people
It’s not ok to generalise an entire group of people though.
The problem with white supremacy is that it is annoying, not that it's lead to ethnic cleansing and internal colonization and mass incarceration.
Cool and normal opinion dude! 👍
Sorry, I was being facetious and dry. Wasn’t really sure what to do with your xenophobic/quasi racist bullshit.
Should Europeans/anyone be likening Russians to Asians in a negative sense? No.
Is it ok to make low key racist comments about Europeans and talk about them like they’re a single racist hive mind? Also no.
The White/European identity was and is a deliberate invention to enable colonialism and chattel slavery and imperialist hyper exploitation.
You just don't want to be Eurasian.
I’m sure it is.
Couldn’t give a fuck what I am. White supremacy is for fuckwits and is just destructive.
Their self righteous hypocrisy annoys me.
You're starting to sound like a Russian agitating division agent lol
Just don’t like insulting people or generalising.
