It reminds me of how Russians (or rather Russian propaganda) treats Poland nowadays. You would think that we're still a part of the great Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth.

The problem with the whole “europe doesn’t have …” argument is that Europe is a CONTINENT with different countries that all have their own laws and cultures. Some of the things they say might be true for one country but completely wrong for another.
Yeah, the most triggering thing about this video is all this talk about "Europe" as if it's one place, and "USA Vs Europe" as if they're comparable, and the USA isn't European.
There were an american couple visiting in Helsinki, Finland on fourth of july. The complained to hotel personnel why there were no US flags on thr poles because it was the indepence day. The personnel politely explained that we are in Finland, not in the US. We don't celebrate their indepence day but our own which is on sixth of december.
They should have said that there are no fourth of July fireworks but to celebrate it and their visit to Finland they turned the night lights on the sky on to please them. (Nights are bright enough to read a newspaper in the night at that time of the year in Helsinki.) It would have been fifty-fifty if Americans would have swallowed the claim.

5:36 No clue what you Brits drinking, but in The Netherlands taped water is of higher quality than bottled mineral water. The only reason you buy a bottle of water here is, when you are walking outside all day and don't have access to a faucet. And since the Dutch are quite thrifty in nature, lots of people don't throw that bottle away when it's empty, but keep filling it up with taped water forever.
@@Leith-u4p Large parts of England are very flat, which has a lot to do with it. And many of the cities are just as old as the idea of running tapwater, so the plumbing is bad. I'm living in Wales. The tap water here is really nice. It depends a lot on geology. Like what the bedrock is made of. And also whether the water is in a reservoir up in the mountains, so it's fresh rain water, or if the water is just taken out of a river that's run through cities and farmland and is full of shopping trolleys and missing children. I've tried the tapwater in London and it's a bit odd. But even in a shithole like Cairo, I'll drink the tap water before paying for bottled water
Everywhere that I’ve lived in England has really nice tasting tap water. The only reasons anyone would buy bottled over here is if you like it sparkling water, you don’t have access to a tap, or you don’t mind wasting your money for no reason. 🤷♀️

It's like one of those fairytale origin stories. An old childless widow a thousand years ago went over to Stonehenge and wished for a child, and then a magical fairy showed up and turned one of the giant boulders into a child, and that child is the ancestor of this dude. He's probably very tall.
Stonehenge was pile of stones, when army bought that area to use as shooting range for cannons, Cecil Chubb bought it in 1915 and donated it to nation, people do not realize it was rebuild in 1964, the stone were re-erected in concrete, it has modern foundation, stones were put were those were assumed to been, ancient monument 😀
That's backwards. American English incorporates all these foreign words and rules from migrant languages in an inconsistent haphazard mash.

I’ve never been to Domino’s, but I never understood how they managed to survive. Here in Germany pizza from small pizzerias is probably the number one delivery food followed by Asian cuisine. At least in our outskirt of an urban area here pizzerias are everywhere, while stuff like Domino’s flock to big cities. Closest Domino’s is ~32km from here whereas there are, where as the closest pizzerias are 5km and 8km away. Those two exist for as long as I remember, but there are more who popup in villages and disappear occasionally. We certainly have our own styles of pizza, but not that far away from what I ate in Italy. Hospitality culture etc is indeed different here. Though we were indeed mostly in touristic areas, which means my experience might not be thaaat representative for Italian pizza.
Domino's business model is pizza delivery. There's people that sometimes can't go get pizza themselves. Now you can pick Domino's up too. But for the longest time it was just delivery. So delivery was the strong selling point. Not the product itself.
@@1pcfred the point is that normal pizzerias already do that. Pizza was already the number one delivery food here.

Americans *are* hard workers. That being said, of course you are right in that a lot of that isn’t really out of choice, but bad worker’s rights. Americans have been manipulated to only look at the economy to judge success for too long. Economic growth and wages are better in the US than EU, the problem is that in the big picture (meaning including universal healthcare, worker rights, public services, general happiness etc.) this advantage almost (only almost!) disappears. In Europe we like less extremes. We had enough of that here already and it brought nothing but ill.
@@TheCappucinochannel-os4ne There are a lot of grossly overpaid people in the USA skewing statistics. For example in Germany CEOs get the same pay rises as every other employee because German law demands that every company above a certain number of employees must have a union representative as a permanent member of board of directors. Consequently a German CEO earns about one tenth of a comparable US CEO while workers earn about the same or more than in the USA.

The UK reputation of terrible food only came about because of American GI's. We'd already been at war for 3 years when the US decided to turn up and food was scarce. The fact that this still gets brought up just shows the ignorance of humans.
And food shortages lasted well into the 50s. While the US had an economic boom following WW2, many countries were still rebuilding until the 1950s and dealt with all kinds of shortages. In the Netherlands the government was trying to motivate people to migrate to the US, Australia and Canada so it would be less of a strain on our resources.

3:37 fun fact - the methods used in chocolate production in america result in creation of the same chemicals found in vomit, american chocolate scientifically tastes like vomit apparently originally they used this method as cost saving measure when they were mass-producing chocolate to put in military rations during ww2, and after that the soldiers that returned wanted the same chocolate as they had during the war (for nostalgia ig?), which caused it to became standard in the country.
i thought it was because milk has to be transported a long distance in the USA which makes it hard to keep fresh, so they use other ingredients like butyric acid (the "vomit chemical")
@@sorin_markov The easiest source is Hershey Chocolate company itself. The reason for using the vomit tasting ingredient (butyric acid) is that the milk in the chocolate, on it's own would perish before they could transport it very far, so this acts as a dairy stabiliser, to make it last longer.

De Gaulle (the French General in charge of the French Resistance) told his generals that French needed to free Paris before the US, they didn't trust the US, they saw them as imperialist as the Nazi, with as much lack of values for human lives (The USA has no problem sacrificing their soldiers' life like they didn't matter. Also, usamerican soldiers killed a lot of French civilians during D-day. More French civilians died than soldiers from BOTH sides during D-day) So, the USA was seen as a power hungry nation, it's not something to be proud of.

And also whether the water is in a reservoir up in the mountains, so it's fresh rain water, or if the water is just taken out of a river that's run through cities and farmland and is full of shopping trolleys and missing children. I've tried the tapwater in London and it's a bit odd. But even in a shithole like Cairo, I'll drink the tap water before paying for bottled water

7:34 the funny thing is that Hawaiian pizza was created by Sam Panopoulos, a Greek-born Canadian, in 1962. So it's technically not even American-made, but European. 🤣

italian here, just to say one thing - we had a Domino's pizza near our house, HAD ONE, it went BANKRUPT in ONE YEAR 🗿🗿🗿
Saw the same here in France 😂 It's so awfull what they sold ...
I’ve never been to Domino’s, but I never understood how they managed to survive. Here in Germany pizza from small pizzerias is probably the number one delivery food followed by Asian cuisine. At least in our outskirt of an urban area here pizzerias are everywhere, while stuff like Domino’s flock to big cities. Closest Domino’s is ~32km from here whereas there are, where as the closest pizzerias are 5km and 8km away. Those two exist for as long as I remember, but there are more who popup in villages and disappear occasionally. We certainly have our own styles of pizza, but not that far away from what I ate in Italy. Hospitality culture etc is indeed different here.
Though we were indeed mostly in touristic areas, which means my experience might not be thaaat representative for Italian pizza.
I think I saw Domino's in Poland too, once. No idea what happened to it. Never seen any ads nor fliers for it either.
Domino's business model is pizza delivery. There's people that sometimes can't go get pizza themselves. Now you can pick Domino's up too. But for the longest time it was just delivery. So delivery was the strong selling point. Not the product itself.
@@1pcfred the point is that normal pizzerias already do that. Pizza was already the number one delivery food here. It’s just a big centralized company that tries to push the small restaurants away
Okay, seems they already failed in Germany in the 80ies and now they came back and bought two leading pizza delivery chains.

Americans *are* hard workers. That being said, of course you are right in that a lot of that isn’t really out of choice, but bad worker’s rights. Americans have been manipulated to only look at the economy to judge success for too long. Economic growth and wages are better in the US than EU, the problem is that in the big picture (meaning including universal healthcare, worker rights, public services, general happiness etc.) this advantage almost (only almost!) disappears.

@@sorin_markov The easiest source is Hershey Chocolate company itself. The reason for using the vomit tasting ingredient (butyric acid) is that the milk in the chocolate, on it's own would perish before they could transport it very far, so this acts as a dairy stabiliser, to make it last longer.

@@TLowGrrreen Those poor teenage English boys really appreciated the proper A/A blues and only when they took it over to the USA did the whities realise how good it was .Having scorned the originals before.
Full appreciation was given to the originators by people like Eric Clapton etc .
Texans couldn't find Europe on a map so I wouldn't worry
“We could’ve taken over after WWII but didn’t”
Bro, we (USA) lost or withdrew from every single war since then, not to mention that we could barely keep Russia at bay through the entire second half of the 20th century. We even managed to almost flunk D-day for pete’s sake
D-Day was a pretty massive success, no one expected it to go so well. Sure, Omaha was a clusterfuck, but it was expected, which is why a second division was sent there
@@MatecaCorp The US did not infact withdraw from every war after ww2. Idl what crack pot history you're on. But this is all so wrong omfg.
As an Englishman, thank goodness our ancestors did what they did in 1939-1945. We had to deliver Hitler's first defeat in the skies in 1940 to survive. US participation (while slightly belated) is still appreciated here. Let's not forget our Canadian brethren either. Even Brazil sent soldiers to fight the Nazis. Comrades all and no disrespect to modern Germans, it was about Nazis, not Germany.
The comedian Al Murray(The Pub Landlord) does a chat on all the countries of the world and comes to Hawaii and mentions Pearl Harbour where "The Americans were taken completly by surprise two years into a World War"
Also, it literally was a fear of the allies that the USA would take over. De Gaulle (the French General in charge of the French Resistance) told his generals that French needed to free Paris before the US, they didn't trust the US, they saw them as imperialist as the Nazi, with as much lack of values for human lives (The USA has no problem sacrificing their soldiers' life like they didn't matter. Also, usamerican soldiers killed a lot of French civilians during D-day. More French civilians died than soldiers from BOTH sides during D-day) So, the USA was seen as a power hungry nation, it's not something to be proud of.
actually chocolate from Europe is often not counted as chocolate in the US cause it doesn't acquire minimum amount of sugar to count as chocolate
i see what you did there. a large and sweet revenge
American Military might v EU military might. Roughly equal Active personnel, twice as many reserves in EU. US has slightly more MBTs and AFV, EU twice as much artillery. US has more total aircraft, but EU has more fighters while US has more attack helicopters. EU has nearly a thousand more Naval Vessels, though US has nearly 3 times as many aircraftcarriers. And remember this is just the EU, it doesn't include non Eu members like Turkey and the UK. If any Texan thinks they could take on Europe in a military battle? Keep dreaming.
Lets be real if napolean couldnt win a guerrila war against portugal neither can america , couldnt beat viet farmers or afghan farmers or irak farmer …. Why the fuck do we even pretend like theyre still a superpower😂😂😂
And then when they deploy overseas, the other three realms of the crown roll over the north border. Fighting a war on two fronts, when one of those fronts is across an ocean is historically a bad idea
You're forget that it's not the whole US military at all, but just Texas. They don't have their own armed forces. They would only come with the Texas National Guard. They only have a fraction of the entire state armed forces. Texas doesn't have any warships at all. There's also the Texas State Guard, but they're not allowed to be sent abroad. There are also civilians with torches and pitchforks. But they'd have to deal with the climate first. The average temperature of 20°C or lower is the norm in most countries on the European continent. And we have more forests, mountains and impassable terrain. Many others have already gone missing in the European swamps.
@@mischmaZOOO totally agree. I was just putting in a comparison of the entire US military v the combined EU forces to show their comparison let alone just the texas national guard. Its just ludicrous.
@ It is! I would really love to talk to such a person and see the reaction when the realization slowly sinks in.
Im a American that has lived in Europe for over 30 years, when people ask me where I am from I just say Canada
