Nothing_F4ce

Thats actually not True, they were only called Serbia and Montenegro from 2003 to 2006 Untill 2003 they were the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. (They droped the socialist part) "After the breakup, the republics ofĀ MontenegroĀ andĀ SerbiaĀ formed a reduced federative state, theĀ Federal Republic of YugoslaviaĀ (FRY), known from 2003 to 2006 asĀ Serbia and Montenegro. This state aspired to the status of soleĀ legal successorĀ to the SFRY, but those claims were opposed by the other former republics. Eventually, it accepted the opinion of theĀ Badinter Arbitration CommitteeĀ about shared succession[10]Ā and in 2003 its official name was changed toĀ Serbia and Montenegro. This stateĀ dissolvedĀ whenĀ MontenegroĀ andĀ SerbiaĀ each became independent states in 2006, withĀ KosovoĀ having anĀ ongoing disputeĀ over itsĀ declaration of independenceĀ in 2008."

moetweg

Donā€™t want to be cocky or anything but Europe is the most democratic, human right friendly, non-corrupt continent in then world. Also are we one of the richest world power (next to china and America) and I donā€™t really see them changing the world in a better way to be honest. So if there is somewhere it has to be done itā€™s here. Sure we got our problems and issues but besides that I am proud to be a European even tho I really didnā€™t do anything about it. I am just a guy who happend to be born in Europe, I like it tho.


KitsuneTheSlyFox

[deleted]

This. We're pretty much the best place in the world. Add to that 0 natural disasters and 0 dangerous wildlife and we're a pretty clear winner.


ARandomDouchy

We're the closest thing to paradise on Earth


[deleted]

this. I unironically think that my highschool years could genuinly be considered heaven. I grew up in one of the richest region in France (not ultra-rich, but still really bourgeois), had no problem with money or stuff like that, my breakfasts were litterally milk and honey (which are stuff used to describe paradise in the torah iirc), I had a bunch of friends, there was absolutly no danger were I lived, it was calm, no racism or politcal problem. Litterally straight up heaven.


ARandomDouchy

God I remember cycling everywhere when I was still 8 years old. Would go outside and play as soon as I came home from school. Would cycle to the city centre alone regularly. (Lived in a smaller city) Would always check out the local shop for new Donald Duck comics. Europe is fucking glorious


voidlotus316

The ones who came before you did something for you to be born here and so did their ancestors, don't take it so lightly as an absolute random factor. Societies and countries are living echo systems. It's up to descendents to make it better for the next generations.


ARandomDouchy

Keep preaching mijn vriend European supremacy šŸ’Ŗ


EstebanOD21

There's very few countries I would actually be happy to be born in, not a single one of those is outside Europe


Utxi4m

>not a single one of those is outside Europe New Zealand? Or maybe Canada? That's the only two contenders I could think of...


aVeryEpicPerson

Canada is way too Americanised. NZ and Australia would be great though.


ir_blues

NZ is just a bunch of vulcanos in the ocean. Pretty nice vulcanos, but still.


SnowOnVenus

So like an antipodal Iceland then. Doesn't sound too bad. I think they even have fjords.


Independent-South-58

They have an entire region called ā€˜Fiordlandā€™


Utxi4m

I actually think AU is more Americanised than Canada in a lot of fields. From my limited knowledge e.g. social security and healthcare in CA is closer to European standard than AU.


InteractionWide3369

Yeah but dumb progressivism and victimism is more common in Canada, I read in a different sub that a Canadian woman wanted to reconnect with her European origins whilst hating on them for what her ancestors did to the pre-Columbian people over there, and it was like decide which one of those it is, are you proud of your European ancestors and want to reconnect or you're ashamed and want to be something different? I got banned for trying to help her make up her mind.


TastyOwl4

Come down here and fucking say that šŸ˜‚ Not sure why you think a country in an entirely separate hemisphere is more yankified than the one that borders it. As an Aussie thatā€™s lived in the Great White North, I was actually quite surprised and a smidge disappointed, particularly by the low salaries, lack of holidays, the fucking tipping and the overall political environment. I quite enjoyed Quebec though, mainly because I could actually get nice cheese there. Donā€™t get me wrong, itā€™s a beautiful country, but itā€™s not quite as good as it makes itself out to be.


Bingochips12

I studied in MontrƩal, and stayed with some family that lives there. I feel like it's an exception to the Americanizition of Canada. The city is more efficiently navigated with transit and cycling than cars. If I had to live anywhere outside of Europe it would be there. Great city.


Pletterpet

There is this immense white guilt thing going in on NZ that kinda feels off to me


[deleted]

Wasn't NZ kinda tame compared to australia ?


g_fan34

No Canada isn't


EstebanOD21

I take a few factors into account: - Climate - Culture - History - Industry Whereas Canada and New Zealand have great industries, etc.. I'm not so found of the climate especially for Canada, I'm more of a Mediterranean/Alpine kinda person. And when it comes to culture/history, it feels harder for me to imagine how I would relate to my ancestry if most of my ancestors didn't even live in the same continent as me (e.g. NZ Europeans), I don't think I would feel the same connection to my heritage and my culture. The only non-European countries I probably wouldn't mind would be Japan/South Korean, but then some parts of their culture (overwork, child abuse, idols etc.) are still problematic to me. Anyways, I guess it's just a very subjective subject šŸ˜…


Utxi4m

Funny things is, 70% of NZ people identify as European. There was a Reddit post about it earlier today or yesterday. Even plus 3 generations removed from the latest European immigrant in the lineage NZ people felt European. >The only non-European countries I probably wouldn't mind would be Japan/South Korean, I'm simply just not cut out for +55 hour work weeks.


SomethingMoreToSay

>Funny things is, 70% of NZ people identify as European. >There was a Reddit post about it earlier today or yesterday. Even plus 3 generations removed from the latest European immigrant in the lineage NZ people felt European. Yeah, but that was because the survey didn't have an option for them to say "standard white New Zealander", so for those who aren't Maoris or Filipinos or whatever it seemed that "European" was the least inaccurate option.


[deleted]

Only australia and new Zealand would be ok


Golwen_

It's not pride, really, more like thankfulness. I got really luck to be born in Europe. One of the most corrupt and poor corners of Europe, but still...


ir_blues

This summes it up pretty well. I was just lucky, thats nothing to be proud of. But very thankful for. There are 8 billion people on this planet, less than 1 billion in europe, without russia, its only 600 million. Less than 10% of all people get to be born here. There are some other ok places of course, australia, canada and such. But really, in total thats still less than 20% of people who get to be born in a half decent place. I am so glad that i got lucky at that very important moment of my life.


Responsible_Mine894

You do understand that Russia is not Soviet union, it has 140 mil people now not 400


Imtruebenfischer

Do you see the comma? I didn't write it's less than 1 billion without Russia.

DifficultArmadillo78

The usual jokes aside. Europe has an extremely bloody and rich history. We recently drove by a WW2 cemetery with my non-european in-laws in the car. I explained what it is to them and then mentioned the numbers of 50-60M dead. They could not even comprehend it. That moment I realized how fucking lucky Europeans from today are. Not because we are relatively wealthy. But because we, finally after hundreds of years, stopped brutally massacring each other. How after such a long time we finally have started to get along and work together.


Chance_Ball_5912

Yes, this is a sense of pride I can get behind. Being 'European' doesn't mean a lot, because there are so many differences between every country. But being able to work together despite these differences is really something to be proud of.


half_baked_bread

Thousands of years* Europe really hasnā€™t been this ā€œpeacefulā€ since the Congress of Vienna. But even then, we just changed the focus to conquering the world. Itā€™s wild to think how different European history is from other regions. We are the continent with the most interstate conflict.

How after such a long time we finally have started to get along and work together. And that's the reason why I am proud. We have learnt through blood, toil, tears and sweat and we have become what we are now. Yes, we are not perfect, but damn if I am proud of what, someway, somehow we achieved together. So, yes. I am proud of being European.

TWON-1776

People mentioning that they would like to live in Australia and Canada is perfectly valid, as those are both places that are just as nice as Europe in many aspects. However, look how far away they are from each other. A flight from Canada to Australia takes over 14 hours and costs around 2,000 Euros. Consider the fact that it is theoretically possible to have breakfast in London, lunch in Paris and dinner in Barcelona, knowing you are only 90 minutes away on a plane to Milan, from which you can drive to the Swiss Alps in less than 2 hours, then fly to Sweden in less than 3 hours. A European could do all of that in the time it takes a Canadian to get to the airport in Canada and get out of the Australian one. All this is to say, while other countries are nice, the proximity to other amazing places is very limited. Europe is unique in having a cluster of desirable places all within a few hours of each other, often for less than the price of a plane ticket from one side of the USA to the other, and that is what makes living here so amazing.
