Any proof of this? This feels more like separation by feelings.

That’s very European of you to say

Any credible sources to back up this claim?

And you don’t know basic writing.

It’s amusing how much blowback you’re getting without even having stated a preference. Are people assuming the mods here or useless or just haven’t seen this or what?
People here are way too worked up about motivations they’ve assumed and won’t bother with seeing proved or disproven.
Meannwhile, if I see a post I think doesn’t fit, I figure the mods should be approving posts rather than play whack-a-mole, realize its not my problem, and move-on. As an American, I’ll go on record; The “American” outlook on the “marketplace of ideas” is stupid, precisely because the substantiation part of the sale is essentially optional to most - you can get by on pandering to niche biases as the need arises.

It looks more like the blowback is less about one side being better or worse than the other, and more about this whole thesis sounding like the most obnoxious fourteen year old you’ve ever met larping as a sociologist with zero substantiation to their sweeping statements

That and sweeping generalization with a baked in assumption that education is similar/comparable in all European countries

I mean, in assigning the different outlooks to specifically Europe/America, sure, but they are far from entirely wrong, even there.
It’s more like America and its banana-republic/media-obsessed/victimized/allied/vassal lackeys versus saner parts of the world, or Rich vs Poor(which outlooks would be flipped in different areas), but beyond that and placing their post in YSK instead of somewhere more centered on conversation or argument, I still saw far more “defensive” comments than OP could bear any real blame for.

Your attempt to stir up controversy is too stupid to be effective.

I have a slight suspicion this is like a social experiment.
