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.

Dutch - people from Netherlands
Poor - lacking money or material possessions

Sure but it's not a term I've ever heard used in the US.

country/continent+poor is a pretty common American right wing thing to say, europoor is the one I've seen the most.

I wonder if you are taking this meme a bit too seriously and/or literally?

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Im just trying to understand it and widen my scope of reference. Im familiar with the term euro-poor, but this made me wonder if there was something particularly relevant about the Dutch that I was missing context for.

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

No its just a nation specific version of the euro-poor thing.

The Dutch don't even have Labubu doll collections or TrumpCoins. Socialist hell hole.
