We’re reaching levels of racism we never even thought were possible!

Those sound like the words of a filthy tomato eating southerner

I think that’s more metaphoric. Us Americans have a ton of eating on the go. Drive thrus, pop tarts. Southern Europe is all about big sit down meals

How could you say something so objectively racist and yet so true 🥲

I don’t get number 3? Is that a commie joke? Or is it republics vs kingdoms? The funny thing is both the Netherlands and Belgium became a kingdom after a revolution.

I think it’s just a “how likely do people assume the populace is to move against its own government” thing. The French and the former Soviet republics should be obvious, but the Spanish civil war ended way more recently than people think and Italy had a bunch of covid protests. Everywhere else did too, but because Italy was further along it hit the news earlier and became more memorable.

Since it’s modeled on stereotypes, it’s either something loose like that or just the “hot blooded southwestern Europe” idea.

If people knew about that time the Dutch cannibalized an unfit ruler, they’d be considered plenty revolutionary, and if people realized that the Russian peasants were living under serfdom until the 1800s, they’d probably consider them less revolutionary.

Apart from the location of some of those lines, I find this accurate
