WHY AMERICANS DON'T BOTHER LEARNING EUROPEAN GEOGRAPHY EXPLAINED IN ONE IMAGE

We have enough geography of our own to worry about.

:usa/euro:

That's not even including our biggest state, Alaska, which is more than twice as large as Texas and Texas is the size of France.

So, I'll take a geography test over Europe and take shit for not doing well on it as soon as you ace one on American geography.

Deal?

Here's our States and population centers if you need a study guide.

Also if you're wondering if this thread is just another American excuse to be a douche and show off, the answers is yes, yes it is.

As an American, let me say how embarrassing this thread is.

1 star.

There exists an all-too pervasive subset of American culture which takes pride in its own ignorance. OP and his supporters represent it perfectly. Any time someone posts a message on this forum asking why everyone hates Americans, this thread should serve as the main reply.

How noble to renounce learning and understanding, OP! Is the grey matter so sparse in your minuscule cranium that you can only fit so much, and once it reaches its capacity, that's it? So much to learn about U.S. geography that you've reached your limit? Not another brain cell to spare?

Is this how our founding fathers, all learned men, thought about things?

I'm a conservative. I voted for Trump. I loathe all liberals, lefties, commies and globalists. I care about conservation but I understand anthropogenic climate change for the fraud that it is. I believe segregation should be a choice that starts at local communities because people should have the right not to live near others who are proven to be more violent and less productive. I support the Second Amendment. I support a complete ban of Islam in all western nations and don't believe it conflicts with the First Amendment because Islam is, after all, a violent and seditious political system, not a religion per se. I support the Natural Born Citizen clause of the US Constitution and as such believe that our last president was actually an illegal usurper named Barry. As you can see, I'm quite right-wing. I'm not some limp-wristed Europhile with a hipster beard and a Starbucks latte by my side. But I understand that in order to defeat the diabolical forces arrayed against us in this world, we need knowledge, understanding, education, a fascination with history and the history of great men and nations. Pride in our own ignorance is precisely what TPTB want.

Congratulations, OP. You're playing right into their hands. Now go munch on some hot dogs and apple pie, wave your flag, start hyping yourself for the NFL draft and spend a fortune at Walmart. That's all it really means to be an American, right?

There are sunspots bigger than the earth so I would take national pride with a grain of salt puny earthlings.

If you want to be totally ignorant of the geography of the planet you live on, good for you.

Dumb down education system. Americans can't even find Canada on a world map. They are easily manipulated and can't snap back into reality.

I see op is smarter than you also. Op is being a nationalist which is the opposite of globalist. The globalist want us "all to get together". See the EU fir how that plays out in the real world.

You know what else op did? He has all these countries in here defending their countries showing national pride. Something very much needed in Europe and something that fights globalism.

We're definitely taught a Eurocentric view of Western civilization which is often one sided. When it comes to geography, even in my time raising kids, the American educational system has failed.

There are people who will argue at the number of states in America, let alone be able to identify all of them on a map. Naming capitals is far reach for the "average" citizen.

In today's world, there is little focus placed on memorizing the USA map and its geographic features and locations. It has been lost in favor of smart tech giving us a world map in our hands.

Many of the geographic comparisons posted in the replies clearly come from the middle to older aged crowd because we were taught relationships between sizes and such. The younger generations, not so much and school aged kids now get that in like, 8th grade and not really ever again except in review.

Geography is the key that unlocks understanding of r the world and it's people but sadly it is not viewed as important as it once was.

I don't get the point of Europeans are better in this thread and think it's kinda trolling, but I do agree that America's education of this topic has been lacking for quite some time.

That America doesn't give a shit about y'all but you twerpy cucks worship is.

Bullshit, he was just D+Cing because he is a shill, a troll or a tard. Or a mix of these 3. Excusing it backwards by "hurr durr it was his plan all along" is pretty goddamn retarded. And I am not even Romanian or whatever the flag says.

how about comparing political views of European and US states.germany = california poland = texas france= illinois

America might be much larger but our countries and peoples have been around for much longer. America is only a very young nation. Our nations are thousands of years older than yours. Id take that anyday over having more space.

It is all a matter of perspective so they say.

1star for American arrogance.

Look taking a glance at your karma and seeing what a spaz you are I am positive finding out you were wrong again is not exactly a new experience for you.

What about all the nations in North America before the conquistadors arrived? They were here a long time.

What's the size of the USA compared to Africa? Maybe we should know countries and population centers in Africa better yet?
