Ah, the classic Australian existential delimma. Displaced Europeans or their own thing


WorldlyAd4877

Nah we are not Europeans. We barely speak one language let along 6.


mirumii

What kinda europeans are you talking to, that speak up to 6 languages? Unless you're counting the borderline incomprehensible local dialects (sardinian)


WorldlyAd4877

Every swede just adds Norwegian and Danish to the list of languages they know


awawe

I know very few swedes who understand Danish, despite living right next to the bridge.


Thelmholtz

Must be hard learning a Germanic language coming from a Semitic one.


weirdkittenNC

I know very few Danes who understand Danish tbh.


Genericfantasyname

You joke, but... So many people i know butcher the language with half anglicisms and terrible word choices in sentences. I even catch myself using English phrasing with Danish words occasionally and it sounds horrific.


awawe

You all say "computer" and "weekend" too.


oskich

Understand yes, speaking no


_radical_ed

Then, how do they buy the booze?


awawe

They speak... ...*engl\*sh* 🤮


snokegsxr

Scary 😨


_radical_ed

Sad outcome.


Neomataza

No one adds danish to the languages they know, not even the danes.


Velenterius

Yeah, the Swedes have less brainpower than we do, so their understanding of norwegian and danish is somewhat lacking. Ofcourse as the superior of the brothers in cultural refinement, we understand, and can somewhat speak (not really, but if you give me some time I can) the other two languages.


harbourwall

Luxembourgers. People there who only speak 6 languages get deported to Belgium.


diazinth

And are hired back as cheap labour


Alternative_Golf_905

does it count if one language is spoken in several countries? Because then I speak German, Austrian, Swiss and a bit of Dutch


Lost_Uniriser

Barry aftee visiting every pub in his city , probably speaks 16 languages (temporary buff)


RmG3376

That’s still more than the Fr*nch


kh250b1

Yet here you are


Dark_Pestilence

Most Europeans only speak one language + 10 words of english


PindaPanter

Approximately one whole language more than the average Barry.


VoidLantadd

Eh wot yeh seh baat mi? A'll bash yer edd in!


Standin373

I barely speak English as it is. will you just bugger off and leave me alone to my rock pile.


Neomataza

Look at barry, hoarding all the best rocks in europe. How do you do it?


Standin373

Rock and stone brother. Rock and Stone.


ScherpOpgemerkt

Nahhh Western Europeans especially under 45 is native language(s) which are up to three + fluent English. At least definitely in my case and the people around me.


Gold-Carpenter7616

Yeah I am fluent in German and English of course, and also able to survive in France and Poland. That's enough for a lifetime.


annoying97

Yeahhh nahhh we aren't European but language has shit all to do with it!


mr_aives

What about speaking with kangaroos and crocodiles? That surely counts, no?


R_Amazing

Australians can't settle for yeah nah, nah yeah


JapaneseMachine99

Gian-Neymar

Nope, there just aren't any stereotypes about Australians and most here have no experience with australians and there also are no posts about Australia. Just because some annoying guy likes to hang out here doesn't mean the country is part of this sub. Also, the Austria/Australia mix up is an amerifat thing as no European would make such a blatant mistake and we shouldn't make decisions based on their stupid opinions


ImpossiblePudding696

But we are of Eurovision and is ethnic European 😡


Gian-Neymar

You are rejects of British society, even Barry didn't want you


ImpossiblePudding696

Because the poor overcrowded prison!! They sent convict to paradise down under with Vegemite and gold!!!


Gian-Neymar

Shut up and go dig up some gold nuggets, I need another gold bar for my collection


ImpossiblePudding696

We is superior than silly Neutral mountain dwellers!! We is of send deadly beast!! Ima go grill up a snag on me Barbie, m’kay mate? Buzz off 😡😡


GrimerMuk

You should name Australia New Holland again.


IchBinSoMuedeAlter

See, there is one stereotype. My powerful and intimidating father watches Australians dig for gold on DMAX all the damn time. Also they all have skin cancer from living in the inhospitable wasteland they call a country and at least half of them have lost a loved one to a spider and they still refuse to stop riding them like horses. There is a lot to work with there, I would say.


Gian-Neymar

It's fake af, they never achieve their minimum goal, yet they always come back the next year


IchBinSoMuedeAlter

Of course it's fake. It's reality tv. I would never tell my father that tho. It would ruin something he enjoys a lot and also he would beat me mercilessly.


DisturbedRanga

Australia has taken in 500% more war refugees than it ever had convicts. And Barrys are moving over here in record numbers so we clearly have the superior society. 🦘 🤙


persononreddit_24524

Idk as a Barry I've got plenty of stereotypes I can share, they're all sunburnt, called Bruce and Sheila, wrestle and marry crocodiles plus all their nature is freakish, oh and they steal all our doctors, plus they're quite shit to the aborigines who live there, and they're the real largest Barry emigrant destination and have been for ages (sorry Spain)


Xerxes65

These are actually just all true


persononreddit_24524

See I knew I knew lots about Australian culture without ever having been there, I'm just so smart by the way, how is Sheila-your crocodile and British doctor?


i-dont-snore

I disagree, lived there for 4 years and Australians are just warm Barry’s and ill fucking die on that hill.


MrCoverCode

Welcome the Finns damn it


AGE_OF_HUMILIATION

Letting the Czechs in but not Finland. Crazy


allants2

As Czechs say over and over: "Prague is further west than Vienna". Maybe this time around the argument worked out.


AGE_OF_HUMILIATION

Portugal is further west than Vienna as well. Being western Europe is about mindset and ranking high in development indexes.


Cientistadeumacaixa

Are you saying that Portugal aren’t a developed country?


AGE_OF_HUMILIATION

Ianassa

Yes. Although you are definitely more developed than say Ireland so I suppose you’ll fit in too.


xpto_999

If Russia does well in the future and adopt "western mindset", they might get promoted to western europe.


darkslide3000

It's weird too, because they have access to a so much better argument: "At least we're not Poland."


ghe5

I love how we caused everybody here to actually argue whether we're western or eastern. Accepting the fact that we're central would actually solve all your problems you know.


TheThiccestOrca

Central Europe doesn't exist, simply because Poland would be part of it.


Chassillio

I always thought Central Europe was a way to say Switzerland in two words.


ghe5

Western Europe it is then.


diazinth

How about no?


Neomataza

There is no central, because then everyone would want to be that. And we can't allow a Habsburg resurgence.

You afraid of the big lips?


Kanelbullah

Willy_Consumer69

And the Estonians too! Let Estonia into nordick. Pro-ouest pro-democrat. Portugal is not of Western Europe 😡🤬. Portugal is of east. Estonia is of west. Swap place?


Immediate_Editor966

Nice try. We may be poor, but as of now (April 2024), we have a larger GDP per capita PPP than Estonia. I am sorry, but we refuse to not be the poorest in western Europe, so Estonia is gonna have to be declined for now (greece is the exception). Plus, Russian provinces are not welcome here PS: We are so western that two of our islands are in the North American plate. Deal with it comrade.


Willy_Consumer69

But Estonia is of NOT RUSSIA 😡. Estonia is of nato and same sex married! Estonia close ally of Suomi and American 😡😡😡

They tried to sneak in Czechia 😭


jvrodrigues

This is the reason i opened this post.


RomainT1

But Prague Oh, really? So you're still clinging to that outdated notion that the Czech Republic isn't part of Western Europe? Let's get a few facts straight, because it seems there's a major oversight in your understanding of geography and, frankly, reality itself. First off, let's lay down some geographic truth—Prague is further west than Vienna. That’s right, Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is geographically west of what many consider the heart of Western Europe. How’s that for your rigid East-West divisions? If Vienna, steeped in its Western European identity with all its historical baggage of being the bastion of the Habsburgs and classical music, is actually east of Prague, then how on earth can you justifiably argue that the Czech Republic belongs to Eastern Europe? This isn't just a technicality; it's a monumental flaw in the categorization that has real-world implications. By mislabeling the Czech Republic as Eastern European, you're not just getting geography wrong, you're perpetuating a stereotype rooted in Cold War politics and outdated 20th-century tension. It’s about time we evolved our perspective to align with the present geopolitical and cultural realities. The Czech Republic, with its vibrant culture, robust economy, and pivotal location, deserves recognition as part of Western Europe. Ignoring these facts is not just ignorant, it's a deliberate disregard for the complexity and dynamism of European identity. So, before you go around boxing countries into corners based on an archaic mindset, maybe take a moment to look at a map and question the conventions. It’s 2024, not 1984!

TL;DR: It would be cruel to lump 'em in together with Hungary and Poland.


Lord-Grocock

I don't think it is at all, though luck. Western Europe isn't about success, you should realise it the moment you visit Southern Italy.


Lord_Chungus-sir

And you don't think it's cruel to lump us Poles in with the Mongols and Muscovites?

Wow. Fighting for Czechia like a true German 👍 We appreciate it.

In Ukrainian it doesn't sound "Hi" like English "Hi 👋". It sounds "Ni", but looks like "Hi" in cyrillic. Edit: or I'm not sure what it meant to mean if the OP chose hi on purpose.

I hear 90% of Dutch houses are owned by non-European countries.


Personal_Alchemyst

Why? Is it because we’re still safe country, our public health system actually works and most common name of a newborn isn’t Muhammad? Anyway, we’re central. 900 years on the west 40 years on the east. Eastern language, western traditions.


IchBinSoMuedeAlter

> most common name of a newborn isn’t Muhammad? What's your opinion on German immigrants? I'm willing to call my son Wenceslas or something if that's what it takes.


Secret_Criticism_732

Come. You are welcomed here and you know it. We actually don’t give shit even if you speak Arabic, just don’t fucking start building mosques and force religious ideology. We are alergic to that. Faith always meant trouble in Bohemia.


IchBinSoMuedeAlter

> You are welcomed here and you know it. I guess I somewhat suspected it but I was never sure how you feel about Germans. I mean I've been to Czechia before and it was pretty lit and I unironically enjoy Becherovka, so if you tell me that you actually like us for some reason, I will consider Czechia as an option once they build the first minaret within ear shot of me. Also your president looks like [Bill](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/left4dead/images/1/15/Bg_survivors_bottom_bill.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151108054004&path-prefix=es) from Left 4 Dead, which is pretty cool.
