Austria and Australia are right next to each other
China is a factory (kind of true I guess)

>For some reason I believed education in Europe was incredibly advanced and that most people there were enlightened polyglots with post graduate studies who were unfamiliar with want and poverty
>I believed most people in Latin America held it as a deeply held conviction that we shared in a common brotherhood and that I should treat them, and expect to be treated in return, as fellow countrymen.
>I believed Africa was still stone age tribes and that disease and famine were so terrible people over the age of 25 were extremely rare, I didn't associate any of their troubles with colonialism or geopolitics, economics or history as a naive kid, I legit thought it was, despite its beauty, simply too brutal and hellish a landscape for people to thrive.
>I believed Asia was a completely different world (as in non Westernized at all) that China still had an emperor, that they all knew martial arts and that they conducted themselves with a medieval sense of honor.
>i didn't know anything about Islam being repressive or that it produced terrorists, I imagined the Middle East was a kinda modernized version of Arabian nights, that veils were see through and used simply as adornment and that women dressed like belly dancers.
>I used to believe Americans were for the most part decent hard working people
In my defense I'm going way back into my childhood, tho I did keep amantain of these retarded perceptions as late as being 8 or even 10 for a few.

And you are kinda germanic so it balances out.

>As half of my family was prussian it is sort of true anyway.
