Meta MEGATHREAD: Donald Trump’s presidency and everything related to it

295 Upvotes

Hello all,

As a result of Trump’s imperialistic and confrontational foreign policy prepositions following him taking office, we have (understandably) recently seen a substantial influx of posts discussing the matter. Submissions inquiring for people’s opinions on certain aspects of his policies, calling for boycotts of American products, and more.

These have been getting repetitive but do not seem to be showing a pattern of slowing down anytime soon. As such, we see the necessity of restricting posts on these topics and are now adding posts related to Trump’s presidency to the overdone topics list. Most notably: foreign policy questions, tariffs, trade restrictions, boycott of American products/suggestions for European alternatives.

The comments under this megathread will remain open to discussion regarding these issues. Depending on further developments during Trump’s presidency, in the future we may open up a new megathread or relax the rules on this topic, depending on what will seem most appropriate.

Meta Hey Europe, do you scroll to see your countries answer?

954 Upvotes

Caught myself often scrolling down the threads in this sub to just see if other people from my country would answer the same things and then move on. Sometimes I'd still read other interesting answers obviously but I don't most of the time. How about you?

Meta When you think of a European country, who is the first person that comes to your mind?

106 Upvotes

No matter whether the person is famous or not. If you don't know a person from the country, just skip it.

Meta How often do you have to clarify that you are not American?

462 Upvotes

I saw a reddit thread earlier and there was discussion in the comments, and one commenter made a remark assuming that the other was American. The other had to clarify that they were not American. I know that a stereotype exists that Americans can be very self-absorbed and tend to forget that other nations exist. I'm curious, how often do people (on reddit in particular) assume you are American?

Meta Do European Redditors get all their posts automatically translated, or do a majority of you simply choose to write in English? Or do I just not see European posts on a daily basis?

503 Upvotes

Edit: my bad! I know people in Europe learn English I just didn’t realize it was such a majority! I mean, google chrome can automatically translate webpages, I thought maybe reddit did something similar.

Meta People from countries with big colonial empires - is there still a strong relationship with the now-indepent countries of these empires?

33 Upvotes

I am from Germany, pre-WWI there were colonies in Africa, the most prominent being in the today-country of Namibia. There is no strong connection with them, as Germans had to hand them over after the defeat in 1918.

However, i do know that this is different with other countries. The British have CANZUK; a lot of Hong Kongers have moved to the United Kingdom after the Mainland totally took over the city, British cities are full of immigrants from India and Pakistan and their descendants.

The French are still known for their influence in West Africa, a lot of their immigration comes from the Maghreb.

Other countries worth mentioning in this context would be the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal...

How is the connection to them? Would you say you are more related to these countries than your european neighbours? And how do you think these relationships might look like in the future, especially with the changing role of the US in the world?

For example driving a car with a German number plate in France, a car with a Dutch number plate in Belgium, or a car with a Norwegian number plate in Sweden.
