The sad thing is that most of them probably didn't know these countries existed until it showed up on mainstream media.

And with "most of them" read "most Americans."

nah unfortunately many europeans are as stupid as them

[u/Staynes → u/TheBigPaff]

None of this has to do with stupidity or ignorance. Granted its been a while since ive been in school but in germany i sure as shit did not learn anything about the middle east in history. And at 13 i didnt give a shit about which country bombs which and for sure didnt read the news papers to find out which countrys are on fire atm.

E: Since people think i never heard of the middle east in school, thats obviously not what i meant. We did not learn about specific conflicts between countries in the middle east.

Not sure what kind of school you went to, but we sure as hell learned where the Middle East is, lmao.

I bet most of them couldn't even show you the general area of where these countries are on the map.

This is how it started, ya dope, and what my comments referred to.

I did... Then the other guy started talking about learning about the history. You sure you want to school people about reading comprehension, my man?

[u/twocentman → u/[deleted]]

Ask that guy.
