A vocal minority are freedom loving. A significant number are hooked on consumer debt. I feel like any sweeping generalization is going to be wrong… especially when referencing the USA which is basically 50 countries and has a population exceeding all of Western Europe.
- generic92034 1y ago> especially when referencing the USA which is basically 50 countries and has a population exceeding all of Western Europe. So, you compare the whole USA to only a part of Europe? Why is that?
- hansvm 1y agoAnd they counted an even lower percentage of Eurasia. It might matter for a given conversation. It might not. What's your point (i.e., what are you actually trying to ask)?
- aleph_minus_one 1y ago> especially when referencing the USA which is basically 50 countries and has a population exceeding all of Western Europe. Germany is basically 16 countries (federal states [Bundesländer]). Europe is a whole countinent - here a suitable American analogue miht be USA+Canada+Middle America. Or if we talk about the EU, a suitable analogue would be NAFTA (the EU also started as a set of free trade agreements).
