Audience member: “Liberal democracy?”
Lecturer: “No.”

Lecturer: “No.”
Audience member: “Generous vacations and paid family leave?”
Lecturer: “No.”
Audience member: “Bicycle-friendly cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen?”
Lecturer: [Dark cloud over head] “LOOK, I MEAN I LIKE WHITE PEOPLE, OKAY?”
Audience member: “Oh, right.”](https://www.joeydevilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/strong-european-culture.png)
