The United States is also a continuation of the British empire in ways aswell.

As an American, its nice to hear praise about the place I grew up in and shaped me into the person I am today.

The fact that there are people who dream of visiting the US in my neighborhood, and have this lovely image of it really makes me miss home.

[@a-walpatches6460]

That's because all Americans tend to go on about is how great they think the place is, usually without having the first clue about the world. It's a superiority complex born out of ignorance that annoys people who know better. I've been to the US twice and I hated it, I could never live there although there were some things I liked and in general the people weren't as arrogant as I was expecting.

Something being based on X isn't the same as being X. At the height of empire, the British saw themselves as cultural successors to the Greeks and Romans (see their architecture, their worship of classics, even their music - e.g. the British grenadiers).

[@maxdamagusbroski]

@@imgoingonamarch No. There is miniscule Roman genetic influence. Culturally you could say the Romans influenced and inspired a lot, but they massacred villages, tens of thousands of people, marching across Germanic Europe.. and in the end it was Germanic people (including Saxons) who conquered Western (true) Rome. They insulted us, humiliated us, scattered us, but united, we were stronger. We across Europe still hold Rome and it's empire with nostalgia and reverence though. If it wasn't for Rome, there would have been no great French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese or British Empires. The specture of Rome, the fear they put in the world that there might be some distant "great power" that might just sweep in and take over, absolutely escalated a desire recreate this pre-emptive strength and breadth.

That the Roman empire fell is the one of the most curious myths that we believe. It didn't end at all. It just moved to Byzantium and continued as Constantinople.

It is not perfect and I have learned that throughout the years, but I have also learned a lot about many other systems around the world. I studied master in Germany 2015/16, moved back to Eastern Europe, supposedly for a year to work online and spend time with family, Cofid hit and the stay was prolonged. Now it is about time to move back to the US and I can not wait. Europe is so much more difficult in so many aspects. It is more expensive, it is confining and claustrophobic, and all other kinds of phobic. America truly is the land of the free and the brave.
