Yeah, but North America's success is only ever possible following the success of Europe... Obviously.
They don't create them out of nothing, they create them out of outsourcing what they don't have through economic ventures, whether it be through colonialism, setting up trade routes, exploration, etc. All things that depend on the people and not on the land they live on.
It wasn't as a "source" it's just a commonly known fact and I used it as quick supporting evidence because refuting that is just silly.
You can call anything you believe with your whole mind to be a "fact" but fathom it or not, an idea you believe that depends completely on how you view the process of your successes is 100% subjective to how you view the world.
Yes my ancestors made Canada great, but just like 200AD Macedonia, 400AD Rome, the 1800s French and Dutch, the 1450s Byzantines, etc. All good things come to an end through the loss of what made them great in the first place. I cherish the history of Canada so much so that I want to move to America because it still has remnants of the principles that made Canada great in the first place, and I want to live somewhere that feels more how Canada should/did.
Moving has nothing to do with not appreciating your lineage. That's like telling an African immigrant they can't retain their culture nor appreciate it because they wanted to have a better life for themselves and their children lol. Under that idea no country would ever exist and the whole world would be stuck in a limbo of no culture, no movement, and no progress. You aren't very smart but it's all good.
Was a good conversation, a likely wasteful one but I hope you can learn to be more intellectually honest with yourself... It's fine to feel I'm "privileged", but not to base those feelings on supporting points that are either wrong, or just dont make sense. GG bro but unfortunately you lost 13-0
