Having different languages is kinda a big deal. It means different stories growing up, different cultural practices, different emphasis across different interpretations of history. Americans may have a lot of geography between each other, but the cultural difference isn’t all that wide.
I’d actually say that Finland is closer to Greece than Orange County is to like Trimble, but I haven’t spent much time in Finland outside of Helsinki and Enontekio. But the point isn’t who has the most different, it’s “is EU to US a more apt comparison than any individual European country is to the US?”
Netherlands and Poland would have been a better example for you to bring up than Greece and Finland honestly.
We all speak the same language, I don’t think that comparison holds up.
I love that you made one, single, tiny point to the contrary and decided that was enough
Because there was only one point made? The US is pretty damn homogeneous compared to the EU.
You’re the first person to bring up language? As if that’s the only thing that can differ between places lmao.
