Of course those number leave out Eastern Europe and the the active war happening in Europe

u/Pale_Occasion_2447 5h ago

It's more so European Union that Europe itself. You have some shitholes in Europe too.

u/War-eaglern 5h ago

It’s cherry picking stats that back their argument. If you remove the poor crime ridden areas then of course you’re going to have less crime

Half of the homicide rate was actually insanely generous for the US.

Official EU statistics is that we had ~450 million ppl in the EU and ~3950 homicides total in 2023. Thats's about 0.88 per 100 000

The same statistic for the US was at 5.9 per 100 000 in 2023.

You do resize that the “european invitation” is literally something strictly related to EU. The few non eu european countries that do have these caps are strictly due to logistics of the manufacturing.

Cherry picking is what they got, don't take it away from them 😂😭

The more comments I read the more I’ve come to understand that to Redditors Europe only consists of the countries that tourists like to visit and the Ukraine war doesn’t exist

You think eastern Europe has more crime than western Europe? That's just not true. Look it up.

1

u/Pale_Occasion_2447 1h ago

Depends what crime. Overall east and west don't really differ. East just reports less. Organised crime is still bigger is east than west and central east Europe. How safe is each country is other statistic where countries don't differ much except Poland that is conaiderest one of the safest places in Europe.

Well yeah those are the “bad poor europeans” so they don’t count towards the good Europeans.

u/thecakeisalienunoit 6h ago

We will get them there eventually. It just takes time and subsidiaries.

2

u/CzechHorns 6h ago

Subsidiaries, huh.

1

u/thecakeisalienunoit 5h ago

Yeah, it's like a magic potion for countries. Works 100%, 20 percent of the time.

2

u/CzechHorns 5h ago

I think you mean subsidies, subsidiaries are something else.

u/thecakeisalienunoit 4h ago

Yeah, I think you're right! Thanks :)

u/Fantastic-Mud-9869 4h ago

well do you count south america? Or do you only count usa?

1

u/KZGTURTLE 4h ago

If I said all of the Americas that would include “all of the Americas”.

Saying Europe means… all of Europe not just the rich France, Britain and Germany

1

u/Fantastic-Mud-9869 4h ago

Ok so America is just USA and all of the Americas means the continents? Why shouldn't Europe mean just the EU. Double standard much?

2

u/KZGTURTLE 3h ago

Oh I get to teach geography.

So Europe is a continental shelf that includes all land masses on top of it.

We have north and South America over here. So if I say North America this has to include every country on the continental shelf.

Europe and the EU are not the same thing because the EU is a human made concept of governance where there is no hard line dictate of what allows or doesn’t a country into it.

If a country is on the European continent though it’s part of Europe.

Hope I could help you learn something about geography. :)

u/Hot-Safe4051 3h ago

This is the same as the gulf of Mexico. You guys call it as "Gulf of America" because of your country issues. In the rest of the world, it is the Gulf of México as it has been for many centuries.

America is not a continent but a country in your country, but in the rest of the world, America are two continents.

I mean, you guys, the U.S. Americans, can be a little bit delusional some times, to the point that you think the whole world is wrong except you

1

u/Mediocre-Joe 43m ago

Some people get weirdly fixated on names whats your opinion of the Persian gulf?

1

u/Fantastic-Mud-9869 3h ago

Thing is most of you guys do not say north america. Most of you say america and you only mean USA with it. Even your wiki page states: "The United States of America (USA), also known as the United States (U.S.) or America"

u/KZGTURTLE 3h ago

Dude what the fuck are you going on about. What does this have to do at all with Europe and what’s being said about that.

Is America such a big deal in your life you have to bring it up even when conversations have nothing to do with it.

EU isn’t a continent, Europe is. What does anything you’re saying have to do with that.

1

u/Fantastic-Mud-9869 2h ago

Yawn you don't get the point. I don't care anylonger.

1

u/froction 3h ago

Yes, when there is no other context given "America" means the US.

1

u/jknl 2h ago

Well if we are going to include all countries from the European continent, we need to be fair. Your stats need to include all countries of north America.

• ntigua and Barbuda • Bahamas • Barbados • Belize • Canada • Costa Rica • Cuba • Dominica • Dominican Republic • El Salvador • Grenada • Guatemala • Haiti • Honduras • Jamaica • Mexico • Nicaragua • Panama • Saint Kitts and Nevis • Saint Lucia • Saint Vincent and the Grenadines • Trinidad and Tobago

u/War-eaglern 6h ago

Funny how that happens

u/sonicparadigm 6h ago

Don't you know, Social Media Europe is a fictional place, that combines all the best parts of different regions of Europe into one place, and in the same way Social Media America is also a fictional place that combines all the worst parts of different regions of America into one place

u/Hot-Safe4051 2h ago

I mean, I know it's hard to believe, but having paid vacations and have somewhat decent labor laws is not that hard. It's hard when there's hostility towards workers right, which happens in the U.S.

Even in the east of Europe, they have standardized paid vacation of at least 20 days. So don't think it's fictional, is a matter of willingness of the government, so fight for your rights.

u/paranood888 5h ago

Are you for real ? 😅🤣🤣 Man look at OP again ? then read what you just wrote.

Its called living in an alternate reality. You just described the exact opposite

America == flying cars and Europe == secured bottle cap "valid point' And you wrote that..

u/Ok-Scheme-913 4h ago

You meant west asia?

u/blissed_out_cossack 53m ago

What you mean like new G20 member Poland? Lots of countries in the former "Eastern bloc" are pretty fucking rich by global standards.

u/EyeStabber 4h ago

Eastern europeans live way better than americans. most live better than western europeans in big cities. It's peaceful, nature is beautiful, food is good and healthy. Things are not what they used to be in 90s.
