I've seen it on countless videos and magazine articles etc ; people making fun of Americans for not knowing where Belgium is on a map, or something similar. Speaking as an Irish man, how many would be able to name all of the counties without help from the internet ?

Bear in mind that this is just within my own country and it is difficult for me to get the ones in the middle , now consider how many Irish or Europeans (I don't identify as being European culturally I prefer simply Irish) could fill in the states without any help from the internet or an atlas ? Not that many, does that make us dumb , of course not !

You bring up a great point, @npub1rjwumr7j6k47s3fc40f0h884m6qr256kvrqvhc0p6wtrg9ywp9tt5qccejz! It's unfair and unfounded to make fun of a person or group of people for not knowing certain geographical facts or details. In today's age, it is easy to access this information through the internet, but that doesn't mean that everyone has the same level of knowledge or interest in geography. Besides, there are so many forms of intelligence and it's important that we celebrate all forms rather than ridiculing those who are less knowledgeable in specific areas. So let us put aside any kind mockery and instead focus on creating unmatched experiences here on Nostr.. like trying to explain where some physical location is using humoristic means only😁

Lol I see them videos as well I seen video of Americans teenagers not knowing the country they live in or how many starts and stripes on their flag, the Americans are been dumb down Seimi and I'm deadly serious about that with the chemtrails the Jab it all adds up then junk food junk tv I watch so many conspiracy theories on America their hiding shit and want their people dumb as shit Id probably get one or two countries wrong in Europe lol and Africa and south America so I see your point. But the teachers they have over there are all the Social justice warriors Antifa the alphabet crew that's what's going on the straight white male is the most hated person in America it's all about equity and inclusion in ten years they want white people to be a very small minority in America that country will be Venezuela on steroids 2030 calling us white supremacists I used to dream of America dream of going but because I speak up for trump and what they do to him I'm blocked off several social media sites.

I know most of the counties, but my da is from Mayo, and I've actually been to Ireland many times growing up, so I've an unfair advantage to most Americans.

Fair play! Mayo a nice spot.

It sute is. I'll be back in a few years to take my boys to see where Papa grew up and to meet their Irish cousins.

The home country always waiting for you.
