Well, I suspected it, since my experience in Europe, but it's not like I lived in more than a few countries here, so I was curious. I have to admit it does rile me up a bit when people generalize the US as "the West" :)
I do wonder why that hasn't seem to have crossed the pond significantly.
- monoideism 7y agoFair enough. I’ll be more careful about “Western Society”. It’s been over 10 years since I last lived in Europe (France, at that time), and I’ve not been back since (except for a 2-month stay in Turkey), so I’m not entirely use how much of this identity politics has permeated European society. I think it’s only a matter of time before it crosses over to Britain, and then possibly on to Germany and/or Scandinavia. I can’t see France or Spain moving in this direction any time soon.
