'europe' is a fake idea. there is no 'european culture' or 'european history'. the subcontinent has never been internally homogeneous or externally closed
the greeks felt more of a connection to india (which alexander tried to conquer, and where multiple greek philosophers, pyrrho and democritus for example, went to study). rome was stronger in egypt and asia minor than it ever was in what is now france or spain. most of the current european 'nation states' aren't nations, and don't have institutional continuity going farther back than 300 or so years (germany and italy both were unified in the 1800s)
the sole unifying strand of 'european' anything is whiteness. 'europe' is white ideology
Rarely I've seen such amount of #bullshit about #history.
We have a long common history that dates back at least to the Roman empire. It's a convoluted history, full of wars and deaths, cultural exchanges and deep genetic mixing between all of the peoples that came and lived here during a few thousands years.
Europe has not been a single nation for long, this is true. But we have a common culture. A culture that learnt to welcome our differences.
A culture that, actually, has been corrupted by the Marshall Plan, but somehow resists in most people here.
Come and see!
You are welcome too! 😉
