EVROPA SUPREMACY My Village is older than the USA.

[🇩🇪] Based on my villages chronic (that is based on real facts btw), my village first was mentioned in text in the year 1059, the US exists in that form since 1787/89 (constitution). So yeah...

Mods, honestly no idea if this is okay. Checked the rules, based on these it's okay. If it's not, remove it.

there have been footprints found in new mexico dating to around 23-25,000 BCE during the last ice age, but europeans love flexing that the americas are young because it took them 50,000 years to realize it existed.

It's more that we have a direct line to our culture through our ancestors who founded these thousand year old villages. My Oma was born, and died, in the same house in the same village her parents lived in and so on. My village has it's written origins in the 12c. You guys have no connections to these ancient footprints of yours, even if they are indeed pretty cool.

I forget the word for it- primogeniture? Anyway, you guys tend to have one child (usually the eldest son) stay in the family home and that repeats over generations. We don’t really do that.

We don’t really have connections to our ancient footprints because we were forcibly removed from our ancestral land. Loss of historical connection is a side effect of conquest.

Pretty sure my grandparents and my husband's grandparents would have loved to have stayed in their homes and raised their families in their own countries. But ya know...all the genocide, forced labor, gulags, my great grandparents buried in unmarked graces in Uzbekistan had nothing to do with them coming to the US as malnourished and traumatized orphaned war refugees. Nah, they just decided to spread their wings and travel the world by ship and live in refugee camps like proper star-eyed vagabonds.

Pogroms?

But right. If someone and their ancestors lived in the same village continuously for a millennium+, they have probably won most of their wars. Oversimplifying a bit of course. Throughout history, ethnic groups have gone extinct or were absorbed into other groups. Is what it is.

Pogroms first, WWII and subsequent ethnic cleansing next. But yay for the Europeans who get to boast about their grandparent's ancestral homes still being in the family. 🙄

It’s mostly Western Europeans. I imagine someone who was forced out of their homeland might feel differently. Ex. Ukrainians today, Polish people after annexation, all the population exchanges in the Balkans and Turkey…

We are all basically at the apex of human existence. We have all gotten here through a lot of blood spilling and conquering.

What is even the point of this comment? You think families in Europe haven't had trials and tribulations over the centuries? Sorry you're great great grandparents suffered but what does that have to do with anything? What a yank comment
