There is a huge noticeable difference between the level of historical and political understanding between Europeans and Americans. You can find this out just by talking to them.

For example, the average American on the street literally believes that Communism and Fascism are the exact same thing. They barely even understand the concept of race or ethnicity. To them, Serbia and Croatia are just two different geographical borders, not places with massive ethnic and historical differences.

I am an American, and the only thing that got me educated on political matters was interacting with Europeans on 4chan. I never learned any of this in school, from the media, or from my family.

How do we fix this?

>Communism and Fascism are the exact same thing

I disagree with you there. I don't think a great many people confuse the two.

Concerning your other point, essentially you're saying that Americans should spend more time educating our youth on European political issues and history, but why? Who does it matter if Americans understand the Serbia / Croatia issue you use as an example?

Why stop there? Shall we teach our kids about every single conflict, cultural difference, etc., of every group of people the world over?

In other words, a bunch of Eastern Europeans' differences is not the be all and end all of "political matters".

You are on to something about our school system it is outdated and really just does not delve into much except the Constitution, bill of rights etc etc.

Fuck sake... Communism and Facism are exactly the fucking same thing. They are the pool into which national socialism jumps to. There's literally no fucking difference in practice.

You could also say this OP, Europeans know way too much about us. Like I don't waste my time trying to figure out the French electoral system and yet you have Croatians trying to critique our electoral college, they are the ones who need to back off tbqh.

Communism and Fascism share the belief in governmental control and violence as a justified means of command of ones people.

Go talk to the average euro-fag off the street, they are even dumber.

You can voice your confirmation bias all you want, but in the end of the day all the data shows Americans are smarter, richer, and better looking than anyone else on the world.

That information is irrelevant to most of them. I'm from Romania (neighbouring country) and the intricacies of the relations between Serbs, Bosnians, Albanians, kosovar, Croatians and Slovenians (and let's not forget Montenegro) are not nearly clear to me. This is one order of magnitude more complex than Syria situation.

too brainwashed by BS history and war propaganda.
Not enough humility to accept that not everything about america is best for every nation...this BS is used to make the citizens believe foreign meddling is the solution not the problem

Because we're separated from 3/4 of the rest of the world by two oceans. And we have many states larger than most European countries, Russia notwithstanding. Sociologists say there are 9 different "nations", so to speak, within the United States.

We really don't have time, much less care, to follow Jermyn Corbyn or the PM of Botswana.

When it comes to history, though, it's almost all SJW drivel. It's all "whites, American, and Christians are bad blah blah blah".

When the schools do talk history, it's always slavery or Civil War or segregation.

Things we also don't teach adequately: economics, personal finance, philosophy, or logic.
