It could be a more rural area where they have a larger amount of land
You're right, it could be. But I don't think I've seen to many people living out in the country with a privacy fence.
Lol do you live in a bubble or something? You do know how big the USA is right? Most of the EU fits into Texas alone. Some of us who are rural have a lot of land and don't need privacy fences.
The EU has an area of 4.234.564km². Texas 695.621km².
So Texas is a mere 16,4% of the EU.
In what world is that "most of the EU"?
Maybe they heard somewhere that most EU countries can fit in Texas. A lot of them are small. If you go by number of countries it may be most of them.
And the U.S. has an area of 9,833,520 km^2^, meaning the U.S. is only about 2 1/3 times the size of the E.U., and that makes me realize:
That dude clearly knows nothing but propaganda, and this is actually why it's so dangerous. His perception of the real world is so twisted that he doesn't even see the basic geography of the world for what it is. Those land mass distortions were often pushed on purpose for racist reasons, i.e. Africa has typically been portrayed as a smaller continent than the rest when that is... not... true... at all...
So follow me here, this guy is very likely racist against Europeans.
When he himself is most likely an American White guy.
Figure that out in your head if you can
