The UK is a state in the EU, What's your state? lets compare?

2. You don't get to actively fight to keep a portion of land, lose it, and then celebrate losing it.
Or rather you can but it defy logics.

Nah, most brits here celebrate it too. I don't think anyone alive gives a damn about King George's tard-tier decision making

If he had done alright, we might have turned into a huge all white empire. Instead we get to be Tacolad and his ally Sultan Achmed-Bryzewski

>>132381603
If I was in the US I'd celebrate it too. But OP is referring to, I'm sure, similar country wide celebrations you see in the US here in the UK. It's ironic because the town I live in, Washington, is named after George Washington because his grandfathers house is here and they celebrate it 5 minutes from my house lel.

But apart from that there'd be no point.

>>132381603
>most brits here celebrate it too
What the fug

>>132381603
I blame the American attitude towards Britains on the day. Anything to jab or slight Britain to make themselves feel better about themselves. Look at the mob mentality /pol/ has right now. And in real life putting up with snarky little comments from them This is what we have to put up with.

Ask the brits if they don't feel pressured to celebrate or oppressed.

>Whats your opinions on states that aren't part of the originals celebrating? Or the Americans who came over in the 1800-1900.
Most western states were populated by Easterners from the 13 colones. Lincoln was from Kentucky, but his ancestors were New England puritans. Mark Twain was a Missourian, but his ancestors came from the Virginia colony.

>>132384376
The meme about the US mostly coming from Germany?
The 52% meme?
All lies?

>>132384376
That is incorrect, the majority of settlers in the midwest came from germany, britbong >>132384512 over here is correct on that part

>>132384956
>That is incorrect, the majority of settlers in the midwest came from germany,
Wrong, Germans settled the least populous state, and even in those there were large amounts of anglo settlers. You don't know your history

>>132385261

And you think Kentucky is mostly German? Jesus, no wonder our culture is in such a sorry state.

>>132385685
i will give you kentucky, my job mostly focuses on illinois and upwards, but you are seriously retarded if you think that the majority of settlers in illinois and missouri were anglo

german, french, and irish are the majority in illinois, and in missouri german and irish tower over the anglo settler rate

>>132386132

Wrong, this is mostly inferred from self report surveys that have been long debunked.

>>132386001
Not even, man.

The U.K. is equivalent to the U.S. if you have have Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland that make up the "union". The EU doesn't count.

You want to debate it's whatever state is in the UK you're in for my state in the U.S.

>>132386708
>White people can't be oppressed
Are YOU the nigger?

>>132386828
I am from England, which is a member state of the United Kingdom. you?

>>132386834
This, I completely agree. I am perfectly happy comparing individual states in the US to my state in the UK. This is a fairer comparison.

>>132386937
Georgia pretty sure my state would beat england

>>132380642
I actually saw a few American flags when I traveled around the 4th of July in Southwest England. I think it's perfectly fine to celebrate since we have been close allies for much longer than we were enemies.

Also population size really doesn't matter imo. If you want to live in a large city you can in georgia. I prefer the semi rural city I live in. Also we have open carry anywhere even on college campuses. You'll also never know the pride of being an american. Georgia is great and all but america is amazing man. I have been to europe and asia and I thank god everyday I live here.

Ok so we still win in population numbers and our GDP dwarfs you (I think you win in general economy though). You can pick the next subject.

>>132388453
I use population as a measurement just because
USA does well: 360 million
EU does well: 600 million
China is catching up incredibly fast! : 1 billion
So is india

>>132388453
Today I shot guns all day and drank beer with my family while cooking a pig and coming together as one to celebrate america. Only americans know what it is like to be an american and that is why we clash sometimes with non americans.

>>132388626
Are you afraid of a terror attack? Serious question btw

>>132388597
^ How many Americans legit hold it against us?

>>132388754
Not really, don't live in a meme city worth attacking. (Live half an hour away from London though, shits good)

>>132388769
In my experience, none. The last thing we are going to care about especially today is British resentment. The worst you would get is banter out of it but, that's pretty much it.

>>132388875
Is London bad? Atlanta is a lot of black people but they are pretty chill. Notice georgia doesn't have biweekly chimpouts like some places in america

no, the founding fathers still loved their british roots despite the split. jefferson believed he was reinstating the old anglo-saxon traditions by waging the revolution. our foundation is english culture so any anglo should be able to appreciate their peoples' accomplishments

>>132380642
Insecure faggot cucks, makes sense that you would celebrate your imperium fail. Can't spell cuck without UK I guess. You should stay out of this great American image board, you disgusting parasites. The nazis have their krautchan, slavs, and even spics have managed to make their own boards, but the eternal parasitic anglo just tries to latch on to the glory of America. There are even /britcuck/ threads in r9k . . . How pathetic. There should have been a general United Khaliphate ban on this most glorious day.

>>132389328
It was bad when i went there 2 weeks ago, but I live in the West Country so i'm not used to foreigners so London could be fine

>>132386551
>yeah, it just been "long debunked" and is still taught, used as fact, and is the basis for other anthropological studies undisputedly
But you're absolutely wrong. No serious demographer believes what you do.

>>132389782
That's sad man. West Country sounds similar in size and population to where I live

>>132389328
London's alright,

If you want some facts:
- The 02 Arena is the largest in the world by floor space and also holds the title of worlds busiest Arena (second in Madison Square).
- Lots of landmarks people know of, Buckingham Palace, Meme bridge etc.
- We are the financial headquarters for most of Europe. We have shit tons of financial industries.

The point I'm trying to make is, US states on their own are on par with European countries. Americans acting superior all the time is just Macro'ing up until the numbers look good for you.

E.g I live on the earth HOLY FUCK largest military, first earthlings on the moon etc.

>>132381134
I like this. There are 11 states larger than the U.K. geographically but to make it fair, I'll put up Florida with their numerous naval stations, forts and air bases. Bring it.

>>132390208
That would be like asking Italy to break all their shit up into little states to compare it to the UKs little states to compare it to Germanies little states. Every country has smaller parts, America just has lot of large smaller parts because were fucking awesome. Blame Germany and France for being unable to conquer Europe if youre sad you cant compare.

>>132390726
The size of US states doesn't matter, the Sahara desert is massive but how much is there?

You can pick first topic
inb4 airbases or spaceports

>>132391322
No it isn't. The "united states of america" each one is a member state of America. Each country in the EU is a member state of the EU.
The word "country" is broad, The UK is a country, but it isn't its four countries. The EU has a flag, a federal government, a capital and laws. it is not a country. The US has a flag, federal government, a capital and laws. it is not a country. Understand?

>>132391322
Name me one thing that distinguishes the US as a country that the EU does not have.

>inb4 the EU has multiple languages and cultures
Canada has multiple languages and fucking Inuits.
America is made up of loads of europeans groups and you have no official language

>>132391322
Also what's defined as a "state" in italy? doesn't work does it. But you can define a member state of the EU and US

>>132392187
It even has a fucking flag on with stars to represent its members. Remind you of anyone?

>>132391997
Sure the EU can be a country, most people I know argue that its becoming closer to being one every day. I never argued that it wasnt I dont think you all want it to be though so it most likely isnt going to be. Im sorry that you havent embraced multi culturalism but you need to take it into your heart brother people are different and thats ok.
>>132391722
They are for now, one day they will all become stateswithin the union and the EU will be a giant country.
>>132392187
There was just some Italian guy that showed the 12 states of Italy and the the offices that are broken down into each of those. Just like each state in the US has counties. Its just a matter of going further and smaller because Europe is so tiny.
>>132392291
Look mate, its not a country yet because they havent givin up their independence completely. Give it a few more decades. Youre the only one in this conversation saying it wont be a country.

>>132392500
The only deciding factor is the general public belief of what makes a country. But ok you're right its not a country.

But is it too much to ask to get a fair comparison? What if we do it by continents? since we both agree North America is a continent and Europe is a continent.

>>132392907
Ok but America has no control over Canada so why would you lump us together. The EU has limited control over the individual countries so its not a country, but the Federal government could make weed legal tomorrow and there is nothing the states can do so thats why we are a country.

Personally I would prefer if e were broken smaller, would solve alot, but thats not hhow it is now so you dont get to go HA and say your better because youre packed like sardines over there and we have shitloads of free land.

Why can't we be treated equally?
Always have to one up everything we say?

American's aren't superior to Europeans. We are on par with one another. No one is better than the other.

>when you realise I'm butt hurt because Americans "think" they're better than us.

>>132393387
Didnt you know? America wanted to stay with the union but the British wanted to leave. We harrased them all the way to the coast but they finally managed to get on some boats and leave. 4th of July is a mourning holiday because your beloved father abandoned us.

This man is correct. Celebrating the loss of your lands is a cuck mentality. Brits here should partake in celebrations, but not be super excited about it. It's a day everyone has have off, you probably got invited to a party, go network.

>>132380642
I can understand Americans who live in the 13 original states, celebrating the 4th of July. But why the fuck do people in California, Texas, Alaska, Arizona, etc, celebrate it too? Makes no sense. They were just some barren, unconquered land, with absolutely no connection to 1776.

The war was a good thing at the time, but your country well and truly fucked it. You should've stuck to the principles of the revolution, instead you've become a much bigger state than the one you originally rebelled to secede from.

Pointless to argue over who "can" celebrate it, considering during the Revolutionary War not every single American participated or supported it. And anyone descended from those who did participate are now scattered all over the U.S., including the majority of states that didn't exist back then.

The normal response is:
USA: "We think that X place is good, just not as good as America"
X: "So you think you're better than us?"
USA: "In every way, yes"

And then you wonder why we get so angry at you. Because we think you are equally as good as Europe. And the response comes off as arrogant, narcissistic and like you're trying to just put us down.
