The article title is a bit of a misnomer because apparently they only surveyed western Europeans rather than people across Europe. But still it’s interesting.
These survey results appear in the article:

Do it, you lose nothing by further distancing Europe from the United Nazis of America
I don’t know about tariffs, but i would like to see fees for data transfering of people outside of EU, more fees over GDPR non compliance and certain bans of data transfering to US (health data, finascial data etc). This is where they can be bleed.
Kuddo’s for the bias disclaimer & adding in the graph. (Edit: typo)
Not to be that guy, but technically:
- Denmark & Sweden are Northern Europe
- Germany is Central Europe
- Spain & Italy are Southern Europe
I don’t disagree with this graph but in different context you can also divide Europe in to western European countries and eastern European countries according to their alignment during the majority of the previous century. In that case, Bulgaria, Poland and the Baltic states all belong to the group of eastern European state. I think this is the context in which OP meant the fact that mainly western countries are surveyed. I often see headlines mentioning Europe or Europeans and only refer to the EU and it’s citizens, in the same ‘wrong’ way.
From my understanding, calling a person from Poland ‘Eastern European’ is basically akin to asking for a fight.
Europe doesn’t end at Russia’s border - it ends at the Ural Mountains, so even drawing a midpoint between Portugal in the West and the mountains in the East still puts Poland, Slovakia and firmly in the western half.
I mean, sure you could arbitrarily divide a region as you see fit; by that logic California and Arizona are technically part of ‘The South’, since they’re in the bottom 50% of the continental US - right?
I understand why Polish people are offended by calling them eastern-Europeans. We have a lot of polish immigrants here doing, I believe I know how they feel about it, but there is still plenty of media outlets both local and international who write about eastern and western europe as they did before the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
It’s odd that the article title says “majority of Europeans” when the article itself makes clear that only some western European countries were surveyed. So I thought people should know that.
Totally
I wish I didn’t just have Canadian made products labeled, it would be better to label American ones. I’m not against the rest of the world and their products, just the u.s. and frankly not the whole u.s, i will support California and Minnesota and other deep blue states.
Hit them back - hard!
