I have a professor from England whose says Britain "isn't really part of Europe." Is this a common opinion in Britain?
>>
>>65965201
yeah, the continentals are strange and untrustworthy

Understandable. If I could snap a finger and move Germany from the shitty neighborhood (France) somewhere else, I would.
Alas, we have to suffer from their continued existance.

Why do you agree that Brits are not European mostly while you don't agree we japapanese are not Asian?
>>
>>65965867
Don't worry, next country to quit the shitty european union will be France.
>>
>>65966019
Asia is a western concept, you shouldn't give it too much thought, really.
Britain is definitely in Europe though.
>>
>>65966149
That won't change a thing.
>>
>>65965201
The idea is basically Britain has a very distinct and unique culture compared to the rest of Europe. Though I'd argue Spain has a very different culture to Austria too.
>>
>>65966203
A lot, and even more if we put back the maginot line.
>>
>>65966309
why do they think that?

do they really think there are a lot of shared european cultural aspects that Britain doesn't share?

Yeah, it's part of Pakistan

Britain is a proud Arabic nation and rightfully so.

Well there is britain, which is anglosphere, but quite """european""" too, then there is iberic culture, then there is mediterranean, then balkans, then nordic (includes balt), then Russian and finally european, which is really just Germany, France and to a lesser extent England.

Continentally and politically yes, and a big presence in Europe.

Though it is true we tend to culturally associate the term "European" with the southern nations.
>>
>>65966432
Oh, I forgot Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland, which are also European.
>>
>>65966375
It's complicated and hard to explain. Why do you think Britain is culturally similar to Europe?
>>
>>65966160
It's in Europe but definitely not European
>>
>>65966499
yes. Britain is closer to france and germany than say poland is to france and germany.

how are they not culturally similar?
>>
Well the last time Britain controlled territory on the continent was tournai in the 1500s and they controlled it for a decade before giving it to France

>>65966675
to add to that, every time they had continental territories, they had the resources to defend it, usually over a long period, but in the end they just didn't want it kek

allow it lad, it's just a relative puddle

>>65965201
sometimes
Obviously we're part of the european continent and were (are) part of the EU but being an island nation it's a different identity. we call them "europeans" or would sometimes describe something as "european" just as much as "continental"
>>
>>65966674
Not as hard working as Germany or as relaxed as France, no metric system, walk on different sides of the road, not artistic like France etc.
>>
>>65966309
>muh special snowflake

Your food is shit, but sure it's "distinct and unique"
>>
>>65966653
That makes no sense because European is a meme concept that can be heavily shifted to exclude and include groups.

It's one of those based in popular thought but little basis in reality.

>>65966160
>Asia is a western concept, you shouldn't give it too much thought, really.

It still affects him though. It's just like how SSA if you analyse the term past the name makes no sense but it's still used heavily like a legit term.

>>65966811
so what? there are many european countries that are not as hard working as germany or as relaxed/artistic as france.

most of these things you names are total memes btw

measurement systems/walking on the wrong side of the road are not really the most distinguishing part of a culture

if you are not european, than what are you? you are not asean, that's for sure.

More along the lines of France is broadly similar to Italy and Spain. Germany to Austria, Czechs etc. The UK is very different to most European countries. You could argue we're similar to the Dutch or Ireland but it's more tenuous IMO

Also your portion sizes suck and I would rather have a huge roasted meal with all the veg trimmings with gravy or a nice huge stew with a round of bread. Your food is over reputed and it should just fuck off. Spanish food is better.

look who is talking. France is culturally still sore over the fact French isn't the lingua franca and you as a people think all European law should be based off of either Napoleonic civil law or modern French socialist law. Not to mention that France did essentially try to turn Europe into vassal states up until the 20th century,

Not to mention the French still believe that their food is the best, their fashion is the best, their art is the best and their culture is the best.

France is the orgin of elitist behaviour in Europe starting with Feudalism from Charlemagne which wasn't technically French but your nation sure did run with it to the extreme once it existed

Those are strict facts, except for the food, I personally believe most food here is dogshit, we're just good at wine champagne and cheese, bread. And six stars world chefs. We have a labelled cow race that is French and recognized too. That's about it. Otherwise it's shit and possibly worse than elsewhere.

A law isn't just because it is a law. It is just in how it effects the people it is meant to serve. Having a court system that can try a person through the will of a judge alone without judgement of your peers is dangerous no matter how small the reason for the trial.

Kings said the same when they could kill anyone they wanted without question and do pretty much any evil thing.

The people didn't agree. They suffered for centuries until there were revolutions to protect our freedom. I for one am unhappy with the reduction on those freedoms we have already suffered. I would not suffer gladly throwing away common law for civil war because ignorant people like you think it is okay to throw away our freedom and rights for convienance

Britain, like Madagascar, Japan, Cuba, or the Philippines, is a large island nation. And large island nations invariably see themselves as separate from the mainland.

Britain is not European in the sense mainlanders are European. A Dutchman is a stone's throw from Germany. The British are separated from European by a gigantic gulf of water.

This is why Britons refer to themselves as "Atlantic Islanders" or simply "British", but never as "European". To call a Brit European is like calling a Spaniard an African.

Not really either. France as a modern country did not exist prior to the hundred years war, same can be said about england, and nation states still popped one after another til the 20th century.

except this isn't true and history shows us this. Some ideas have spread but you could say this about anything. Algerbra and the decimal came from the middle east so fuck it lets become a country with Iran because we use the mathematical system that originated in that region.

I am not prepared for my country to sacrifice it's sovereignty and become a bland mashed up generic European culture and race and be apart of a super state that dictates and takes away our sovereignty over the fear we may be dictated to on trade agreements in the future by other powers.

Older Brits were taught that Britain and Ireland were indeed not part of Europe. Europe was the continent and ended in the east with the Urals.
Sometime relatively recently however, around the late 80s new geography books classed Britain and Ireland as part of Europe.
I had always assumed America was responsible for this 're-education' but it's much more likely that our own political left was behind it.
>>
The reason is because we speak english and so do other white first world countries, incl. america which is obviously pretty dominant in terms of media. This means that we consume more media from these countries, and hear about them more than european ones, and add in that we don't have any land borders so most of the population lives far away from other european neighbours, then your average pleb probably doesn't know much about them.

So even though we're probably more similar to france or the netherlands than the US people don't see it that way because of the common language.

historically though no one would be insane enough to swim it as you would have died. Not to mention if you did make it to the other side you would be a foreigner in the middle of no where with no money or contacts. Also most people couldn't swim. There has only been 3 major invasions of Britain in recorded history. The Romans who trumped pretty much everyone due to technology and organisation. The Anglo saxons who took advantage of the roman collapse and William the conqeurer who took advantage of Godwinson dealing with Hardrada's invasions. Outside this Britain has been relatively isolated to have its own cultures develop as its safe geographically. There has been political ties between elites but that didn't effect the common person and their culture. Other ideas such as religion, renaissance and enlightenment spread everywhere even to the outsides of what we consider europe so we cannot really consider these as a european culture as they are not enough by themselves to constitute a culture

Yet the non-oceanic borders of Europe—a concept dating back to classical antiquity—are arbitrary. The primarily physiographic term "continent" as applied to Europe also incorporates cultural and political elements whose discontinuities are not always reflected by the continent's current overland boundaries.

The leaf is sorta right mate, by the traditional definition of a continent, "Europe" doesn't really exist.

your country is shit and your people are shittier. You have no manners and you crowd and push onto public transport in such an awful manner that it reminds oneself of India. The only thing that is a reminder that a once great people inhabited the area is the ruins of the forum and the colleseum and those look in better shape than the modern buildings due to corruption. The same corruption that makes everything wildly expensive. You are are rude, arrogant, lazy and corrupt culture and how anyone could mistake a modern Italian with the Romans is a complete joke.

it isnt a generalisation. Ive been around Italy and everyone is like this. You behave worse than our children. Those pictures you see of Indians crammed into trains could have been taken in Italy. Half of you look similar to them anyway. Your culture is awful and the only things worth seeing are the ruins from 2000 years ago.

How is that different from saying that all Americans are fat, all British food sucks, all black people are criminals and so on?
I guess you visited Rome since you mentioned the Coliseum, and yeah, people there are pretty rude, but you're delusional if you think every single Italian is like that.
God, I'll never understand how people feel entitled to judge a whole nation after one short trip.

Because those things can vary but cultures are generally true to form, are all Americans loud? do they clap? do they tip? yeah basically all. Likewise you are basically all africans.
>>
>>65973879
because i have been to america and they aren't all fat. Ive eaten British food with foreigners so I know it doesn't suck. I know because Ive been to venice, Florence, Rome Pompeii and Serrento.
I feel entitled because to because everywhere is expensive as fuck and the people are all rude and lazy and do push and shove and cram into public transport like indias. They literally stand in the road because there is already a crowd on the pavement and they dont want to be at the back. If you que in Italy an Italian will just walk straight in front of you. No one says please or thank you. You have no manners or civic decorum. I say this as some one who went over huge parts of Italy and found it the same everywhere.

They wanted Bordeaux area, they always liked it there. But the French just won it back. The anglos could never get a continental clay for too long because they either couldn't get there at all or they lost it shortly after taking it.

>>65974108
in the same way the channel protected us from the continent it also made it hard to invade and hold land. Only so many suitable places to land ships and unload men and supplies. You had to have the right conditions to do so as well. Hard to keep control with those conditions when the enemy only has to come over land and has cities and natural defensive positions they can just turtle upon whilst allies and numbers grow. Also if your enemy fucks with your ports and cuts you off your force is screwed for supplies and reinforcements

Your currency is unfit and is collapsing around your ears. The fact the German bank is finally collapsing should be the sirens to abandon ship. The parliament is an ineffective nightmare who can't make decisions but only discuss them. The commision effectively holds all power and does so unaccountably which is tyrannical and dangerous. Virtually no decision is made unanimously where everyone is happy with the decisions made. The speed at which anything is done is laughable. The italians haven't been able to bully anyone for centuries and the Germans are afraid of their own shadow and have such a guilt complex they are now trying to destroy every ethnicity in Europe and not just their own. You won't steam roll anything you spastics pasta tard.

Well, not really, it was the king's land in his capacity as duke, not the english crown's land, at best anglo trading interests and funding were tied into the area but it wasnt anglo land

You either had to deal with the shittiest people here or you just experienced selection bias, because all the "bad examples" stood out more. I'm not saying you're completely wrong, but not all Italians are like that. I, for one, am not, and as far as I can tell my friends in college aren't either.

You fought 114 years for it.

You fought 114 years to get some french clay, either it was aquitaine, gascogne, calais, tournai ..

England never conquered France (lost to us) but France successfully conquered Britain in 1066 and we ruled them for 300 years.

I made a point to try and remember those who were polite so my stay in Italy was not a complete disappointment. I didn't meet any. If you have nice people they must not be in cities or are an extreme minority.

Only English clay was calais as english people moved there and we kept it after the king lost his claim to france, rest just happened to rightfully belong to the man who was king of england and s could call upon english help

Actually tournai was where the English stopped because the scots attacked them. They were going after boulgoune
>>
>>65974701
This is technically wrong and I don't just mean on the norman viking route this usally goes down but William was pretty much more powerful than the king of france. The King of France didn't control England and so France didn't control England. The troubles of French kings with their aristocrats was a problem that also effected the Merovingians which Pippin took great advantage of leading to the Carolingian empire and then came back to effect France at times in its history where the Royalty was weaker than its aristocratic followers

it's true m8, Henry V literally slaughtered your entire nobility and has the French king at ransom, he took that sweet french virgin pussy as payment
>>
>>65974972
His son was completely clueless and incompetent though.
>>
>>65974845
Well i wouldn't say he was more powerful, its just that feudalism had only properly asserted itself on a local level as national government had broken down, its just in Normandy the duke managed to stop ducal authority disintegratig unlike everywhere else in France (starting before Hugh ), but the king was still the king and everyone technically owed their loyalty and lands to him-its just this idea was only gradually put back into practice during the reigns of Louis 6, 7 and Phillip 2
>>
>>65975015
yes well blame that to the incompetent French genes with made Henry VI an imbecile
>>
>>65974972
He didn't kill the French nobility and they agreed to marry Catherine the daugther of the French king because that's always what they do anyway.
>>
>>65975031
Well yes but I meant practically. If William or maybe his sons or grandsons once England was stabilised and stopped rebelling had so wished he could have consolidated power against the King. They chose not to as it didn't fit their goals. The Royalty went through times of weakness where the only thing protecting them was the oaths of loyalty and trustworthiness of those following them. Pippin did this during the times of the Merovingian empire. He was a mayor who was supposed to be loyal to the king but eventually was more powerful as he had land and effectively took control of the regions retainers instead of just administrating them. He owned land where power shifted to where as the king still relied on the failing roman tax system. Coupled with gaining the latin churches approval he usurped the king he was loyal to. French duchies may not have done it but they had the potential to when there strength actually eclipsed the royalties.
>>
>>65975222
>>65975222
Yeah they did. The English butchered them at agincourt
>>
>>65975339
Whatever, as I always say we won that war.
>>
>>65975287
Well the idea of a nationwide king , around whom the major nobles did rally if so asked , was only briefly not a thing (basically reigns of Henry+Phillip), they began to recover after that, while after gaining England the Dukes of Normandy had a window in which they probably could have conquered the royal demesnebut by louis 7th's repopularising the use of the royal court+kingship and after louis 6th's securing the demense+ land gains he wasnt in such a weak position, his son was in a even better one as the chains of vassalage solidified and lesser vassals were looking more to the king. Such that launching an unprovoked attack on the liege lord of all france (at least with french nobles), and trying to take his territory would be hard to do due to the lesser vassal's objections.
