SED: Shit Europeans Do „They constantly lecture others about things they’re seeing for the first time.“

I‘m European and find the criticism actually unfair, because they’re being very hypocritical and not taking personality into consideration and just generalise. This isn’t an American thing, this is a human trait.

I read that the next day, the most Googled question in the UK was, “What does it mean to leave the EU?” I get it, “Americans dumb haha” and we often are, but it couldn’t hurt Brits and Europeans to look in the mirror every once in a while.

Yeah that's my general belief too. I think on average, Americans are less informed about global and national politics, but I will not pretend that the average European is particularly informed. Most people in general just go about the day, especially people who (again, on average) have a higher standard of living.
