It's endlessly hilarious to me that yanks can't understand that the civilised world aren't like them, and don't want to be like them

Because we're better than them

Erm. This kind of exceptionalism is exactly why we despise Magastan. I hope the irony of your statement isn't lost on you, or that you are just trolling.

Take it as you will, but I hold the US as a "nation" beneath contempt, and not all, but most of the inhabitants

People don't choose which country they are born in(to). I also despise their exceptionalism, but that doesn't mean I am inclined to feel like I am better than anyone else based on where I was born.

Belgian guy I just showed this to asked why it wasn't the US in the cuck chair. People just want to see the US humiliated because they deserve it.

US is looking in from across the street with the masked crying wojak face.

Also certain Americans in real life. Don't get me wrong, many outgrow it, but genuine confusion that other places are equally real is kind of like the default.

TBH, there's some built up resentment from that kind of thing in Canada.

The US is pacing their bedroom across town, realizing they fucked up.

It needs a 2nd cuckchair with the US in it

Edit: This comment is hilariously controversial.

Shouldn’t it be the US on the cuckchair?

That would make sense if she were the EU. The US and Canada used to be extremely close trade partners.

Why would the UK be in the chair if the woman was the EU and the man was canada?

Eta: trade agreements or whatever the eu thing ends up being will likely require changes to law and the Governor General (crown Rep in canada) needs to give "royal assent". So somewhat indirectly, canada needs the crown's permission to form this partnership.

Because the UK self-selected itself out of the EU.

It works the way it is because Canada is still a Commonwealth country and has English royalty on their money

No, that’s not how the British monarchy works at all. Read a history book.

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:
🇪🇺 The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
🧀 The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
🏳️‍🌈 The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins 💶 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 “only in YUROP.”

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