        I knew you were talking about the continent with sane people line and it really bothered me because people in my original home country, America, people very much have a sentiment that “people are the same everywhere” and it’s very much not true. People in imperialistic nations or very religious places often share certain traits that I find revolting, but these traits aren’t universal and you don’t have to venture far outside the imperial core to find what I call “normal” people (for lack of a better word, not normal in the sense of “embodying the values of anglo-normans”)
