    Europe is a fake continent made by fragile crackers that wanted to have their own special crackerland separate from Eurasia.

      I’ve always found it weird how Europe gets to be a continent but India is only a subcontinent. I mean, I get why (white supremacy) but still

        It could be! But when I say it’s fake, I’m saying it’s a subcontinent. It exists but there’s no material reason for Europe to be its own continent while the Indian subcontinent is part of Asia. Crackers just wanted a crackerland.

          For sure, it’s ridiculous that India (and Arabia) is excluded but Europe is not. Eurindarasia is a little silly sounding though…

      I like to call it Eurafrica when I’m talking with libs. They dislike being reminded that the foundations of European culture were almost all developed in Africa.

      Then when they’d stolen all they could, they forgot about the continent and plummeted into the dark ages until they met west Asians, whose scholarly outputs helped backwards Europe to turn the lights back on.

      After draining all they could, they stagnated again until they found the Americas, where they found parliamentary democracy and many other theretofore inconceivable inventions.

      Marx called it primitive accumulation when the capitalists started doing it but Europeans have been propping themselves up on the heritage of the rest of the world for millennia. I guess Europe could be called ‘Thievesope’ but that is a bit tautologous.

        Could you elaborate on this, please?
