Not knowing European flags = egocentric. Aight
GetsystheGr8 [#12]Yo what's the capital of New york?... he's not from EU of course he's not gonna know... like if I asked u the flag of California would u know?
idk California's flag but it should be something about weed and homelessness and nobody cares about the capital of a state NA doesn't have much creativity anyways they should have just named it New york as well
Daniveus [#20]idk California's flag but it should be something about weed and homelessness and nobody cares about the capital of a state NA doesn't have much creativity anyways they should have just named it New york as well
If I said this about any other country I would be classified as a racist... but whatever

Im from Canda and we dont really learn eu history at all, unless you elect to take a class on it. But most streamers i watch are not smart at all. Im always like how do you not know these countries. I know about 70% of the countries of the world of the top of my head, so please don't put the streamers with the rest of the population.

No hate,just dont compare states to countries
Jawa [#35]lol @ NA ITT saying stuff like "Can you name our 50 states?" "Would you know the flag of california?"
If you don't even recognize the flags of other countries, then I have no doubt that you also don't know the names of the states in those countries, much less the flags of those states...
they think its equivalent lmao hahhaha it just get better
w1nT3r [#31]What is the Texas state bird? You don't know? Ignorant dumb brazilain.
Wouldn't like that hm?
bruh that just a state not even a country + every1 can recognize texas flag but obviously not the bird why do you even have bird for each state lmaoo
w1nT3r [#31]What is the Texas state bird? You don't know? Ignorant dumb brazilain.
Wouldn't like that hm?
No, but I can name all the countries on the American continent and I know about all the armed conflicts including those in Europe since the Roman Empire

I would rather eat burger than yak penis lol, though mongolian beef is p good
OPUS [#37]No hate,just dont compare states to countries
texas is the size of germany, and has 4x the population of countries like portugal, czech republic. they have 10x the population of croatia and finland, which are all countries OP said. so why not compare states to those countries??
Tynner [#32]bro i had to hear an american saying that brazil is in africa so im not surprised.
well I heard a Brazilian saying that Vikings is winning masters

If you don't even recognize the flags of other countries, then I have no doubt that you also don't know the names of the states in those countries, much less the flags of those states...

good point, it's kinda strange to figure out since states are mostly a NA thing and we tend to talk about a country's culture, not a state's culture. In my country at least, what we learn in geography class is pretty much abstract if we want to learn more we have to study by ourselves.
schlong [#5]Have you ever seen Europeans try and name the states of the US?
U dumb if you think european countries that have own cultures, languages, history, etc... are on the same level than states from USA.
DogOnMan [#47]Some russian states also has the population of other countries..... your point?
im not sure, but isn't moscow the most populated russian state with ~10 mil? american states are around 40 million at most.

No hate at all, bro
But the fact that you're still trying to prove your point saddens me...
qnomon [#46]State of São Paulo in brazil has 44.04 mi population, but this is not an argument if they are not independent.
yea shroud not knowing finland was pretty funny. idk how people are flaming him for not knowing croatia flags though, since a lot of the balkan flags look similar

i'm proving that knowing the flags of balkan states isn't something mandatory lol. if you think someone needs to know every single flag from 5 mil population countries, then maybe you should reconsider your priorities

why the fuck would europeans learn or even care about the subdivisions of another country. how about you name every russian oblast or japanese prefecture then?

Yes and literally everyone can pinpoint Texas on a map and guess their flag, while I'm pretty sure that less than 50% of Americans couldn't place Germany, nor guess their flag, and would probably think Amsterdam is one of their cities

in 1494 Portugal and Spain signed the Tratado de Tordesilhas, in which the world was split in 2 for them to discover

its basically the equivalent tho since Europe has so many countries. Nobody on this planet knows country flags from countries across the world, unless they go out their way to learn em

they teach me that in school. the only thing ive gone out of my way to learn is USA states.
Gomes255 [#71]its basically the equivalent tho since Europe has so many countries.

Since its about the same size in land area. U.S. being 1 country with 50 states and Europe having 50 countries

US States are comparable in size, population, and GDP to european countries. The US itself is bigger than the entire EU in land area (and similar, but smaller, in population). There's no reason for most Americans to know the smaller countries of europe just like there's no reason for most Europeans to know the smaller and less populated states of the US.
hekzy [#72]they teach me that in school. the only thing ive gone out of my way to learn is USA states.
yea I learned geography in 4th grade which was 14 years ago. Plus who remembers flags of countries they're not interested in. I could tell you were most countries in Europe are located but only 3-5 of their flags
Obeeey [#53]U dumb if you think european countries that have own cultures, languages, history, etc... are on the same level than states from USA.
they are, though, in terms of usefulness for someone living in a continent to know... why should Americans know all the small european countries? there's no reason to. Same with Europeans knowing the states. Most don't, and for good reason, they don't live in NA.
AdN- [#68]in 1494 Portugal and Spain signed the Tratado de Tordesilhas, in which the world was split in 2 for them to discover
and there's been Native Americans living on this continent for 10000 years. The only "discovery" was for the europeans.

feaN [#3]there is nothing about intellegince, you can be intellegent but not educated..thanks for that, that im dumb!
no... they actually don't... US mostly learns about US geography and history... that's how it is... they barely learn about foreigners in schools. that's why the us educational system is just... special. staring down at uni taxes in the us Most of them are less likely to leave US in their lifetime, and there's a lot of states with different rules and stuff, so in a way it's just "normal" to learn just about their entire country... they're not the "smartest" either so just knowing about their country in the first place should be enough....
AdN- [#68]in 1494 Portugal and Spain signed the Tratado de Tordesilhas, in which the world was split in 2 for them to discover
Thank God they discovered America, the first time anybody had discovered this land besides.... Native Americans...
Tynner [#38]they think its equivalent lmao hahhaha it just get better
it IS equivalent though. States in US and Canada have the same population, same GDP, same land area as european countries. There's no reason NOT to compare them.
FilthyAnimal [#59]I'm kidding stfu but the truth is that ethnic and religious diversity comes at a cost
yes, except that the people in question that are being dumb are just white Americans/Canadians and not immigrants
schlong [#5]Have you ever seen Europeans try and name the states of the US?
no. because just like US people will learn about their states, every country learns about their regions - internal level... external level, in this topic, USA is a "country" just like any other country in the world... and just like most europeans know that US is a country and where it's located, so could people in the US learn that a country exists and where. the most basic level: it exists and it's located there. Asking foreigners to name US states is like asking US ppl to name every land in Germany.
w1nT3r [#15]They teach it, but not much you can do when kids are just idiots
They don’t teach it, and the kids aren’t idiots
knowing european history is completely useless for 99.99% of American students
feaN [#10]Yes I know that there are 50 states, hawaii is the last state I think and I know Ohio,Texas,Kansas etc
There are 50 European countries and you expect every American/Canadian to know their name, location, and flag? You can't even name 10 states in the United States. That's your ignorance about "haha Americans don't know Europe". America has an area of 10 million meters squared. Europe has just under 4 million meters squared. We have a lot of area to cover. Many Americans/Canadians never leave their country because it's so big and they don't ever care to travel overseas. In most European countries you can travel 1 hour and be in another country. Why should North Americans care about every single country in Europe? I've lived in Europe, and you guys talk about America way too much, yet are actually oblivious about North America.
ShiningTyGuy [#70]its basically the equivalent tho since Europe has so many countries. Nobody on this planet knows country flags from countries across the world, unless they go out their way to learn em
no it's not. because just like US has states, most countries got regions, or different names for them... just because they are smaller doesn't mean they are any different. My country for instance has 41 regions with their own councils and shit... US is just big so their states got some rules of their own, but that doesn't make them equal to a country. We can see USA like a big country and know where it is, just like they could know a country exists and where.
ShiningTyGuy [#75]yea I learned geography in 4th grade which was 14 years ago. Plus who remembers flags of countries they're not interested in. I could tell you were most countries in Europe are located but only 3-5 of their flags
yeah but shroud probably thinks that europe is a city in france

Nobodies arguing that a state is equal to a country. The original post was about NA education and how they don't know European country flags. I said there's 50 countries in Europe while only being around 5% bigger and the U.S has 50 states. Of course Americans aren't going to know a bunch of European contra flags when there's so many of them and they're across the world from us. I never once said that states are the same as a country. My point was in this argument they are generally equivalent, again in this argument. I'm not talking about power or rules or government in a state being the same as a country.

ya lotta peoples geography sucks, I've noticed that as well
Gomes255 [#48]I don't think he had a typo, he said don't compare COUNTRIES to STATES, not sure if you understand how dumb you sound by trying to make that argument
Why be so ignorant? You act like Americans are supposed to know every country and its flag in Europe (50 countries), while you guys can't name 10 states that are more populated than European countries. It's just silly to expect Americans who will never travel to these locations to know this. Hell, North America consists of 23 countries and you can't name all of them and their flags. You guys know America, Canada, Mexico and maybe 4-5 more off the top of your head. You're way too cocky for being blatantly rude.
ShiningTyGuy [#91]ya lotta peoples geography sucks, I've noticed that as well
yeah im not saying its everyone, just a bigger percentile in america.

it wasn't just about country flags, but also about the existence of those countries/location. there's plenty of vods with streamers saying "is that a country?" and turns out to be a big country in the EU, even with shroud iirc. The point is that the least everyone in the world can do is to know that a country exists and it's location, generally speaking, where education is easily accessible. or some vid with some player of an NA team that didn't know where iceland was. 11th grade in our highschools is just goegraphy of the world. we literally have tests where we get country names or capital city names and get to write the correct capital city or country. if most of us can learn 195 countries with their capital city, and remember bigger ones, pretty sure we wouldn't struggle with 50 states. And on 12th grade is just my country... where I have to learn indeed every region and their "capital city"
qnomon [#28]They know nothing outside usa.
I'm actually curious why you are attacking USA. I guarantee a majority of people from Europe can't name all South American countries and know their flags. Additionally, they can't actually name all North American countries and know them by their flags. They probably only know Canada, USA, Mexico, and at most 3-4 more.
Jawa [#35]lol @ NA ITT saying stuff like "Can you name our 50 states?" "Would you know the flag of california?"
If you don't even recognize the flags of other countries, then I have no doubt that you also don't know the names of the states in those countries, much less the flags of those states...
Name all 23 North American countries is what they could say and list their flags, but none of you would get that.
streamratings [#82]yes, except that the people in question that are being dumb are just white Americans/Canadians and not immigrants
depends but there r a bunch of retard rednecks
otwalcott [#4]Tbh a lot of american geography/history courses don't focus at all on global topics. I had to take a separate class altogether just to learn history from a non-american viewpoint. Pretty damaging way to learn imo
AP world is a 2 year class that focuses only on International history excluding america... tf u on about?
Pristyna [#90]your take on comparing a state to a whole country is just wrong...
Name all 23 North American countries. You couldn't do that and you don't know their flags. My biggest point is you guys are all ignorant while calling Americans idiots and it's actually embarassing.

I agree, I find it crazy that people don't know basic geography as well. But some people are stronger in different aspects of education. Plus most of geography is just memorization which some people struggle with. And I will admit soooo many Americans just think America is the best and they don't even think about other countries which is just blind national pride
BadValoPlayer [#101]Name all 23 North American countries. You couldn't do that and you don't know their flags. My biggest point is you guys are all ignorant while calling Americans idiots and it's actually embarassing.
I don't know their flags, but i know them. Because we learn all countries with their capital city in 11th grade

This thread was built because someone from NA didn't know a flag, yet NA gets bashed for not knowing 50 flags. You can't even remember 23 flags. Additionally, you're just lying if you say you know all 23 country names. Why act so confident instead of owning up to not knowing information? At least North Americans admit it and aren't jerks about it.

See? You fit this "NA education" perfectly. You don't even know the education i got, nor the geography i studied in school, and guess what, it's not just NA, i know most countries from every continent... Just because you don't know, doesn't mean others don't... We can play some quizes where you gotta name countries on a blank map or name capital cities of countries, live if you're not satisfied
andreyoliveira7 [#106]That's one, 25 left.
Actually I can name most of them, from playing too much Geoguessr: Roraima, Acre, Amazonas, Amapa, Maranhao, Caera, Rio Grande do Norte, Tocantins, Para, Goais, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Santa Catarina, Parana, Rio Grande do Sul, Sao Paulo, RDJ, Minas Gerais, Esperito Santo, Bahia, Sergepe, Pernambuco... I'm definitely forgetting a few in the northeast but this is what i remember

Good enough for me lol, I never want to travel to brazil so I don’t really care about the states
andreyoliveira7 [#104]That's the complete opposite of Brazil. Here we learn more about Greece and Rome than our story
our education system is not good. we learn nothing about the present life of the countries around us instead we have to take pointless english and math classes every year

/re to dm
okay bro but deadass who the fuck cares if they don't recognizes the flag that country probably boring no oil, no communism to stop who cares give me the California flag has more then double of the land and population of croatia and czech republic combined. you EU guys should learn about the time Texas solos Mexico that whoop Spain behind. and remember this even if one of your counties suddenly get a volocaino and everyone get Pompeii to hell you still be less relevant than Florida

Who said I don't know almost every country and their flag? I'm just stating that you're ignorant to expect Americans to know 50 country flags for a different continent. I've travelled and lived in North Americans countries, European countries, and Asian countries for the past 5 years. I've also travelled to Africa during that time.
I get it, you know you're wrong and want to defend your honor, but it's honestly sad.
Danny [#114]Good enough for me lol, I never want to travel to brazil so I don’t really care about the states
That's a shitty argument
andreyoliveira7 [#123]That's a shitty argument
Why?
Do you have any good reason why I should memorize brazilian states? I’ve never even met a brazilian irl lol
I'm American, but lived in the Netherlands for a few core years of my life, where I learned geography of some European countries, not too in depth, nothing about America or the rest of the world. Connected with a few of my friends there, they said still no real geography classes (is a private school btw since my parents could afford, public school in the US).
In the United States, IDK if I missed it or something, but I've had multiple world history classes and no geography classes or lessons, just 1 random quiz on states in the 6th grade. The only reason I know so much about the countries and flags is the World Cup. I literally know more about Europe than North America in terms of geography because of it.
I think neither EU or NA does a good job at teaching this stuff, but in general, most Americans won't travel to Europe and don't need to know about every country and flag to stay educated, and tbh most don't care. On the other hand, Europeans don't really need to know states or anything like that cuz they're not going to be travelling to every one of them.
GetsystheGr8 [#100]AP world is a 2 year class that focuses only on International history excluding america... tf u on about?
AP world was a 1 year class for me. AP US was a 2 year.
Zaynio [#127]AP world was a 1 year class for me. AP US was a 2 year.
Do u go to school in the South or southwest?
greedeetv [#126]I'm American, but lived in the Netherlands for a few core years of my life, where I learned geography of some European countries, not too in depth, nothing about America or the rest of the world. Connected with a few of my friends there, they said still no real geography classes (is a private school btw since my parents could afford, public school in the US).

Your opinion doesn't matter, so why are you commenting on my post?
GetsystheGr8 [#133]Wtf NY gives APUsH 1 year and World 2 years
Damn, NJ does the exact opposite haha.
ShiningTyGuy [#119]Bro im not proofreading my posts grammar warrior
Its just funny how you are spouting like you can do this and that and in the same post you fail on basic grammar of your native language. Theres no need to proofread things like that, you either know them or you mix them

The sad truth about this thread, is that Americans will admit to their absence of knowledge, and many Europeans criticize it while also not being able to return the info. I'm certain most Europeans couldn't name 23 North American countries and recognize their flags, but they act like North Americans are idiots for not memorizing 50 European countries and their flags.
I have also lived throughout Europe, Asia, and visited countries in Africa. I know most countries and their flags, but expecting people from another continent to know everything about you is silly.

Jesus Christ. If you act like you know stuff, than make sure you write correctly. Otherwise it looks dumb. Thats all. Of course you couldve misspeled it but so many people dont know the difference that I would not be surprised that you are just saying that now. You say that you know geography, so what are you? Geography warrior? Knowing geography is better than knowing grammar? The irony is through the roof.

The typo didn't change the meaning of his comment. It's irrelevant to the conversation and it is not an indication of somebody's intelligence, so I am not sure why you won't let it go.
Also, those who live in glass homes shouldn't throw stones... you misspelled "misspelled" LOL

xaboff [#66]Yes and literally everyone can pinpoint Texas on a map and guess their flag, while I'm pretty sure that less than 50% of Americans couldn't place Germany, nor guess their flag, and would probably think Amsterdam is one of their cities
^^^ 80% of statistics are made up
Obeeey [#53]U dumb if you think european countries that have own cultures, languages, history, etc... are on the same level than states from USA.
U.S. states have their own culture and history too...

You don't have an apostrophe in your "Its" and "Theres"; You also need to add an article to "you fail on basic grammar"; You should also fix your first sentence, specifically "you can do this and that and in the same"; There is no need to proofread things like that, you either know them or you mix them up.
Tyranitar [#121]okay bro but deadass who the fuck cares if they don't recognizes the flag that country probably boring no oil, no communism to stop who cares give me the California flag has more then double of the land and population of croatia and czech republic combined. you EU guys should learn about the time Texas solos Mexico that whoop Spain behind. and remember this even if one of your counties suddenly get a volocaino and everyone get Pompeii to hell you still be less relevant than Florida
holy shit stfu
Pristyna [#79]no... they actually don't... US mostly learns about US geography and history... that's how it is... they barely learn about foreigners in schools. that's why the us educational system is just... special. staring down at uni taxes in the us Most of them are less likely to leave US in their lifetime, and there's a lot of states with different rules and stuff, so in a way it's just "normal" to learn just about their entire country... they're not the "smartest" either so just knowing about their country in the first place should be enough....
I live in canada and we really don't cover world geography. I only know it through personal research and interest, we're not really taught it tbh.

In my school we learned about where all the countries in the world are and I know every one, and most European flags to this day. Most other people could care less though and any Balkan, Czech, or Scandinavian history is rarely taught in school, which is why nobody knows the flags.
GetsystheGr8 [#133]Wtf NY gives APUsH 1 year and World 2 years
what are you saying both classes are 1 year
schlong [#5]Have you ever seen Europeans try and name the states of the US?
So because you don’t know the world geography and history we now need to learn your history to show that we’re just as dumb as you? That’s such an obnoxious stance lmao
Tynner [#32]bro i had to hear an american saying that brazil is in africa so im not surprised.
A guy I knew from Canada didn’t know where Brazil was on a map at all lmao
WitLitning [#140]why should i know the flags of other countries? what’s a realistic number of flags to know? i don’t even know the flags of most US states lmao.
Learn the main countries of west Europe, Russia, Brazil, India, China, Japan and Australia and then you’re only 60% into being a normal human being
Snev [#115]Bahia, Amazonas, Belo Horizonte...? thats all I got
Belo Horizonte is the capital of Minas Gerais, but NT, i am surprised that an American knows 3 states besides Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro
Ibis [#112]I feel like USA has the biggest IQ gap in the world. They have the smartest people in the world as well as the most stupid
Same
w1nT3r [#2]Streamers are not peak intelligence. Don't take 2 people and use it to describe half a billion people. You look really dumb.
But yes, most of them are 'dumb' educationally.
Bruhhhh please watch some youtube videos about NA geography https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRh1zXFKC_o here's one and there are moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
streamratings [#111]Actually I can name most of them, from playing too much Geoguessr: Roraima, Acre, Amazonas, Amapa, Maranhao, Caera, Rio Grande do Norte, Tocantins, Para, Goais, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Santa Catarina, Parana, Rio Grande do Sul, Sao Paulo, RDJ, Minas Gerais, Esperito Santo, Bahia, Sergepe, Pernambuco... I'm definitely forgetting a few in the northeast but this is what i remember
Acre doesn’t exist
ShiningTyGuy [#70]its basically the equivalent tho since Europe has so many countries. Nobody on this planet knows country flags from countries across the world, unless they go out their way to learn em
I live in an european country (Sweden) and literally everyone I know can name plenty of states...
California, Florida, New York, Alabama, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Washington, Virginia, Arizona etc are all very known in Europe as well...
Of course there are some lesser known states, that people for sure can't name but generally people here in Sweden at least knows plenty of US states.
BadValoPlayer [#101]Name all 23 North American countries. You couldn't do that and you don't know their flags. My biggest point is you guys are all ignorant while calling Americans idiots and it's actually embarassing.
People are massively exaggerating how ignorant americans are but there is definitely some truth to it as well.
But it's only natural that people living in such a large country has less knowledge on geography outside of their country.
I'd imagine the case would be similar in countries like Brazil.
streamratings [#76]they are, though, in terms of usefulness for someone living in a continent to know... why should Americans know all the small european countries? there's no reason to. Same with Europeans knowing the states. Most don't, and for good reason, they don't live in NA.
Because they are nations, states aren't.
