@Universe593 Germanic cultures are obsessed with rules, rules, rules. It's why East Germany was oppressive even by Communist standards. 1 Stasi agent per 30 people. Fucking hell.

@squirlmy Ireland and the UK both have a "binge" culture. Like we don't drink all week then on Friday we get absolutely, colossally fucked up to the point where the inner city looks like a warzone. Then we're hungover for two days, then back to work. Repeat.

 @creature2479 America has a federal bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. In the Balkans these are the three staple food groups

@alexturnbackthearmy1907 Hungover? Well that's why you keep the bottle by your bed. Hangover is your punishment for allowing yourself to sober up.

You have an eagle on your flag 🇲🇽 so you have the pass 👌 (Nah fr tho Mexican culture is so distinctive. Mexico is a mess politically but you guys are cool)

@Thareldis Personally I find the Germanic obsession with rules, rules, rules (ATTENTION!! WASHING DAS AUTO ON SONNTAG IST ABSOLUTELY VERBOTEN!!) deadly boring. I prefer a little more spontaneity and "if no one gets hurt, who cares" in my life.

@raics101 I heard the Russian way of doing things is you have to have at least 2 friends with you. That makes it a party and it's good to drink at a party. I guess this is why Russian guys hang out in groups of 3...

@Overlord99762 I'm from the UK so it's kinda a long way but I really wanna visit some time. Mexican musical tradition and food is lit

Yeah I get the impression Albania hasn't really been "tourist-ified" and turned into a theme park version of itself yet. Visit Durrës before it becomes the next Venice or Dubrovnik.

Heard of the word "Brazilianization"? The USA and Western Europe are turning into Brazil. We don't need to come to Brazil, it's coming to us 🤣

@Jordi_Llopis_i_Torregrosa96 Idk a lot of latinas are shaped like refrigerators. Like they turn 30 and boom, fridge!

@zenoofcitium5262 What you don't know is the Hungarians came from space. Crop circles are ancient Magyar landing sites.

"Nation-building" in the 19th century meant a small elite forcing their customs and culture on the general populace. In the mid-18th century only 12% of France's population spoke "French". By the mid-19th century, over half did. By the mid-20th century, local dialects were dying. And now they are all but dead. Unfortunately most people don't know this because educational systems are controlled by the same elite class that engaged in this historic cultural erasure.

@yellowlemon9308 It's cool, they have the n-word pass (because they're lazy and love gold chains and menthol smokes)

@vanjamenadzer After two generations a hybrid race of Serb-Albanians will be created and every car in Germany will disappear. This is a sign of the end times.

@TheBusinessMindset_ Kind of understandable considering everyone in Europe has invaded Poland at some point or other. It sucks being a big flat field in the middle of a continent full of psychopaths

@modmaker7617 A lot of cities in Eastern Germany have very Slavic sounding names... because they were founded by Slavs. Leipzig = Lipieck, Dresden = Drazdany, Lubeck = Liubice, Cottbus = Chociebus, etc.

Yeah but they're not people

You've gotta have an interesting story, what brings an American to Southern Albania?

You cannot permit the Rom*nians to outdrink you

@Перемогобуд Single mothers were imprisoned in Irish convents and abused for many years. Croats got up to some sus shit during the Yugoslav Wars. Switzerland still has billions of dollars of windmill-of-peace-flag-regime (I suspect YouTube will eat my comment if I say the actual word) gold sitting in its banks. Ukrainian nationalists collaborated with the Funny Mustache Man Elite Divisions (again, worried about YouTube autocensor...) to exterminate Poles in Galicia and Volhynia during the war. Every nation on Earth has done something questionable. We shouldn't uncritically lionize any country. The ruling classes don't have morals, only political interests. They're separate from the ordinary people, who are just caught up in all this mess for better and worse. For example; you say "Iranians overthrew the monarchy to install a religious dictatorship". Nah. Iranians protested against the Shah's dictatorial regime. Things got out of hand fast. There were liberals, Communists and religious extremists all opposed to the Shah - but Khomeini played his cards best, sidelined the other groups and won. Don't presume all - or even most - Iranians wanted the Islamic Republic regime.

@radiathor Czechs are crypto-Germans so they drink beer. Based 100% Slavic Slovakians (it's right there in the name) drink nothing but 180 proof slivovice (Also Moravians are secretly Slovaks don't @ me)

@radiathor Czechs are secret Germans. Slovaks are 100% Slav so they drink 160 proof slivovitz for breakfast (Moravians are secretly Slovaks)
