The idea of “European exceptionalism” is no different than the idea of “American exceptionalism”.

I'm European and I subscribe more to American exceptionalism than European exceptionalism.

I mean the US has exceptionally awesome landscapes and national parks, exceptionally friendly and polite people and uh... Yeah, exceptionally nasty politics, that's the one. That's the one I hate.

It's a country with so much potential, and most of it is spent bickering instead of building a better future for everyone. Which they damn well could afford with their GDP per capita.
