Are people not aware that if North and South America are the same continent, so are Asia and Europe?

There's only 2 logically consistent worldviews on continents
>7 (North/South America separate, Asia and Europe Separate)
>5 (Americas combined, Eurasia combined)
Much of the world is taught cognitive dissonance from childhood.
>>
Europe is important and deserves its own continent category. South America is not important and does not deserve similar treatment.
>>
Europe and Asia aren’t even on separate tectonic plates like North and South America are

They haven't been conquered by the mudslims for 8 centuries.

Continents are not a clear system. When the Greeks came up with the concept they thought the Black Sea extended north enough that Asia and Europe were separated by the sea.
But after a while the idea of them being separate continents stuck.
America was discovered as a single continent, they knew it as the New World or the West Indies before the name of America stuck.
The only reason Yanks pretend these are different continents is because of the demonym they decided to give themselves.

no one says this

There are 2 continents, Eurafrasia and America
Australia and Antarctica are large islands, and just like the Pacific islands they aren't part of any continent

our canal made america into two continents. the suez made africa and eurasia into two continents

>>218804600
Africa and Asia are closer and more geographically linked than north and south america

I don't believe in continents. Like wtf is that?

Any large landmass? Then Greenland should be its own continent. Tectonic plates? Then Japan is a north american country
>>
lets be real, no one would think oceania was its own continent without australia.

Continents are more of a geopolitical/cultural/historical thing than anything else, their division is not based on the actual continental/terrain features of Earth, so this entire discussion is pointless. You're taught as much cognitive dissonance as everyone else on the planet.

Tbh 7 continents is better. It’s how we’ve done things throughout history.
>>218804643
I thought about this, but then shouldn’t the Indian subcontinent be a continent then or East Asia with how different they are?
>>
>>218807276
I don't know...
South Africa for example seems New World coded to me.
