being proud of your country and your origins is not necessarily nationalism. especially if your country's history was heavy and bloody. If there are countries that have always had to fight for their sovereignty and defend their borders, they will always be more patriotic. the usa did not have enemy tanks on its territory. murdering civilians, it was not occupied. So here are our differences in the sense of patriotism.
In the US you hate China and some people hate Mexico. In Europe there are regional animosities and everyone, except of Serbia and Hungary hate Russia. The customer service in Europe is different than in the US. In the US the high lever of customer service means that you constantly attend to the customer and that the customer is always right. In Europe the high lever of customer service is leaving your customers alone, giving them some privacy and space to do their business. Also the customer is only right when he/she is actually right. When it comes to respecting eldery, we do it because without them we would not be here. They fought in numerous wars for us to be free. Also, the most of people in Europe move out when they go to the university (18 years old).
Everything was in the past not even 100 years. Americans don't understand EU and why it is so necessary... because Europe was actually a very violent place. There was a war in Bosnia in the '90s and now there is a major war in Ukraine. On top of that there was a long cold war during which some countries have been destroyed by USSR and the countries under it's influence have seen their lifestyle destroyed. Second, you have described the Eastern Europe, it's not the same in Western European.
Even In Western Europe there’s countless examples of black football players getting racial slurs thrown at them. (Uk, Spain, Italy) which happen fairly frequently. You could never do that in the USA.
@rico14 If some people do that in Western Europe, it's in the main news. And people can also be reported etc. That would be free speech in the US. N word etc.
That's so correct, they don't move here, including vehicles. Accidents actually happen due to this. Also, lines, ques....not understood. They just all herd toward whatever, no ques, no waiting in line, just a massive lump of people pushing....but, for me these are small things. I will never be shot or stabbed here in Crete, for example.
I've been in the US for 65 years and never been in a situation where I was at risk of being shot or stab. You need to research more nuanced info about violent crime in America (65% of violent crime is committed by Black people-I'm Black btw). You and the creator sound like Black Studies/CRT victims.
You *can* point out wrong things ("talk shit") about Poland. There's room for that (provided you're talking with sense). But I'm with you about Serbia, Croatia etc. Man, those people are crazy.
Germany doesn't like Turk's cos of how they are in Germany. I dislike Chinese and Indians cos of how they are here in Australia. Being Slavic myself, I find the Czechs and Polish the most snobbiest as if they are something special.....in that respect, I have the Aussie attitude where we are all the same. I am moving to Serbia soon and have been there several times and never ever have I heard them be racist, even towards the Albanians. They dislike the gypsies yet are tolerated and largely accepted as just being there. They also didn't like the Chinese (few countries like the Chinese or Indians apart from within their own country from my own understanding. Africa hates the Chinese due to what they have done to them. Fiji absolutely despises Indians for how they are and what they have done, etc etc etc). I think the biggest problem why there is racism is cos they enter a new country and don't blend in and keep their old ways. I live by when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Once I move to Serbia, I will have to adapt, pure and simple. About the girls there, in this respect I am lucky. My wife in Serbia only wears lipstick sometimes, and dyes her hair, at times. Apart from that, nothing else, yet she is gorgeous enough that she doesn't need make-up 🙂 Agree customer service is slower yet they also live at a slower pace and yes, are not as friendly yet are more real and not fake like here in the west. I would prefer real to fake. Regarding older ppl, true and that is cos they are so much more family orientated, as opposed to the west. The largest arrogance I encountered re walking on the street was not in Ukraine, yet rather in Copenhagen. There they knock your shoulders, don't apologise etc. On the other hand, I have heard stories of just the opposite in Copenhagen, so go figure. Re Ukraine, ppl in Odessa are nicer than say in Kiev as well, so the city matters.
I am sorry to hear that! Horrible consequences from the decisions of Zelensky and Putin. elensky is not admitting that they have no chance to win. Just throwing people in the grinder.
@Pawel Kolano why do you say that? You don't think that Ukraine should be open to negotiate? They are about to take the country away from its people. Russia is going to destroy all of it and the west is not going to do anything about that. After the midterms, and before, the west is going to stop funding ukraine since people do not want to send money to ukraine because their countries are struggling. US Democratic party even is stopping because they do not want to anger the people and lose votes. who will repair ukraine when it is destroyed by the russians? Zelensky will be in a mansion. The people will suffer. It is so frustrating! People of Ukraine are fed BS, telling them that they can win. In the meantime, they keep losing men and territory. It is so Frustrating. Zelensky should be taken out by the people of Ukraine but they don't know what's going on. They are fed fake news.
@Pawel Kolano Idk Pawel. I just hope things turn out best for the regular people of Ukraine. Politicians in the US don't care about them. They were funding Ukraine for their agenda. Now that the people in the states are demanding them to stop funding Ukraine, they will likely stop since they want to get reelected either this nov or in two years. So much different information out there. But i know is that you are wrong about Zelensky. He is a piece of sh*t. for many reasons but the main one is that he listened to the west when in March, he had a deal with Russia to stop the war. But, other news outlets that are funded by the west say that didn't happen. It's useless to argue about who is right since we don't know. But, unfortunately, Ukrainians suffer
@Pawel Kolano People in the west are tired of Zelensky. Everyone loved him at first. Now, they see him as a guy who is asking for too much and is ungrateful. Many, not all. But, those who still support him are either losing interest or don't support him anymore. You have to consider the fact that your information is from CNN fake news. US invested too much? yea, but things didn't go as planned. They are losing in midterms for sure. Fighting through porxy is extreme scumsh*t stuff. Using Ukrainian men who are not trained well. Even BBC news, when they show ukrianian nurses, they say the guys are not trained well. the well trained have been killed. US has planned to become relevant by destroying EU and being the big dog in the smaller circle. Look at what they did to Germany. US destroyed their pipeline. Germany is now USA's b*tch. Reliant on expensive LNG. Poles and all of EU people are now going to suffer from the cold. Germany and France for sure! You think that is fair? idc about these politicians. I come from a poor village. I know how people suffer. I don't want to see people struggle financially or in any other way. I don't give a f*ck about Ukrainain's ego. They have been defeated (probably if most of the news i see is correct but who knows). They should accept it and take care of their people!
It is happening because in countries that you mentioned people are not traveling a lot, not visiting other countries and meeting people, that’s why (at least that’s what I think) there is a lot od nationalism. I think turning point for every person is realizing that we all have same dreams, hopes and same problems. ❤️
Being proud of your country is a very good thing though. Loving your country is a very good thing. That's what i think. For example, Serbians and Polish people have a lot to be proud of.

When you enter a building, and there should be a line for something, ask who is last and go after him/her...

You haven't been to the US in a while I think, since Trump racism has been out in the open...
Trump is racist?
It’s still not at bad even compared to Western Europe. Fans will throw bananas at black football players. You could never do that USA.
US Service would be an insult in Europe. See Walmart

Serbians are amazing. I've not met a single crazy Serbian. Maybe one girl lol. she was crazy. can't say names lol
Go to Asia and see if its different if china Korea Japan are not racist and nationalistic.

Haha know European say it how it is even is racist American are like you can't say that ore that
Ukrainian and many east Europeans country’s are too nationalist even though they far behind the west country’s in Europe what I found quite pathetic
