Subreddit Rules

Keep It European

Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.

No Hate Speech or Bigotry

Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.

English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome

While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.

Be Kind and Constructive

Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.

Spain has a lot of Celtic (central and north Spain are often included in the Celtic nations, although the celtic language has been lost), Germanic (Goth, Visigoth, and many other tribes), Latin, Moorish, Phoenician, and others in the mix. Maybe that is why so many Europeans like it in Spain.

Also, remember that the French invented chauvinism, which basically says " fuck you, non French"

The weather and that it's one of the last Western countries where ACTUAL left wing (rather than liberals masquerading as left wing) politics is still considered viable on a national level might help too 🤷🏻

I was asking about tacos. I like tacos. I guess I'll eat them myself.
