Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
πŸ§€ The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins πŸ’Ά And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream β€œonly in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

Well, I mean, the reason they point out Israel's behaviour is because it's got similarities to what Russia's doing in Ukraine. Arguably, its even worse, given that they're essentially genociding people in Gaza who can't even fight back at all.

But if you're gonna shrug while Israel bombs Iran, because they felt like Iran was a threat so they wanted to pre-emptively strike them / their nuke program... then you have less moral footing to condemn Russia's actions in Ukraine.

And while most sane people think Israel should just... stop killing babies and stuff... the reality is that almost all western governments are continuing to trade / support Israel, even if they attempt to put on angry faces for PR reasons when talkin about it. Clearly Western Democratic nations have no issue trading with / partnering with Genocidal regimes who attack their neighbours, commit obvious Genocides, and threaten nuclear conflicts etc.

It’s weird being an Aussie, one of the many nationalities who seem to actually be able to recognise and support the plight of Ukrainians and Palestinians, watching so many countries exhibit ludicrous hypocriticism one of the two.

Ironic, but not wrong.
