Thank god for capitalism

so you're saying

like

you're anti freedom

n shieet?

The west really saved itself.

Britain and America did a lot of the work

Whilst Canada also had 200,000 overseas soldiers

And 1mil more at home.

America First

America Only

America First in number of obese people*

America is diverse

Diverse in the nature of their obesity.

Some get it from gobbling McDonalds, some - from Burger King or Wendy's.

all these diverse brands

selling the same crap

how can that be, I thought competition eliminates these kinds of behaviors

America is a land devoid of culture.
And if you don't have any culture, the only culture you will have is the culture of consumerism.

so you mean when you say America First, it actually means diversity first?

culture vacuum first

Diversity may still be an amalgamation of cultures. America is lack of any real diversity.

They fail even at that.

can one make an argument that secularism took the next step and made a separation of the culture and the state

You could, although I'd say the root of the problem came much earlier than that. The "American Dream" itself is, after all, a consumerist ideal, where you better yourself through having more stuff than through any ideological/moral change.

isn't the American dream centered around the family unit being the one that consumes rather than the individual

or was the American dream just a romantization of days gone by, replaced by mindless consumerism

the dream itself just assumed you were of good moral character if u had the family

Not sure about the last part. In the modern and XXth century terms it meant equal opportunity and strive for material good.

going by wiki definition of the american dream it states all this nonsense about equal rights for all, democracy, etc.
But I do quite vividly remember how it was advertised, presenting the nuclear family as a lead example of successful American dream.

America was a Mistake.

Death to America

That does sound different in a good way to how I remembered it. I would say that the "man and woman" part simply distinguishes that each gender may attain said dream, no word about the family unit.

But yeah, it was corrupted, just like everything Am*rica produced.

I guess I failed to see the appeals to ego behind it all, I only saw the family being a family. Man the provider and the woman a housewife. What I didn't see is that they also lived in a spacious house, had a good car, backyard pool as well as plentiful feasts.

a lesser character would chase the material dream

America is 99% lesser characters though.
Not to assume, but I didn't see anything about family, at least from the text excerpt you provided (which seems to be the original text that coined the phrase), which makes it almost egalitarian. What you said about the family values may be your wishful thinking to see this "American Dream" as something better than it is.

I'm not talking about how the scholars defined it, I'm talking about how it was advertised and presented to the regular people of the US as well as non-americans

>u can raise ur children in comfort and safety

do u see what I'm getting at

America paved the way for destruction of Nation States in Europe..
normalized multi ethnic multi Cultural societies in Western Europe, plus gave home to Russian Jews in their academia

all of this was imported to Europe eventually

even now the attempt with EU, is to create a United States of Europe.. a cultureless rootless global empire of capitalism

from my view it's an illegitimate country built on false principles

oh this vid also makes me realize how the boomers got played during the cold war.

Well James Adams is a freelance writer rather than a scholar. As for the regular people, you can see that the advertisements and products have reduced their society to materialism early on.

The artistic movement of Pop-Art, for instance, in late 1950s was a response exactly to the type of society America was becoming; a soulless, consumerist nation. If these ideals you present were ever in place, they weren't around untainted for long.

America ruined Christmas 😡

The undercurrent of soulless corporatism and mindless consumerism was always there, simply hidden by "the family values", which was an excuse for more consumption.

obviously the material and the ads are littered with materialism and consumerism. what I'm trying to show you how they used the nuclear family model to sell it

church and family was the community in America right

Oh yeah, without a doubt.

after the 60s, it was all individualized with the evaporation of Christianity

Church and family was just a parody of a community in America

communities got destroyed by white flight

And with the Satanic Panic happening in late 80s you can't say these things happened after the 60s.

that came after wards

if there was a community

people would've fought

not run away

that came after the civil rights

I'm not saying thats an American problem either

it's like that in a lot of other places

Their church community is a part of the problem. Catholicism ensured a parody of Christianity, letting it erode much quicker.

That's why Orthodox churches in Alaska still have a good community.

judeo-christian the term was literally a subversion

"Satanic Panic" was Middle America going WTF looking at their country.. its an obvious reaction to all the messed up stuff that was going on...

people wanted some order desperately

it is what happens when you advertise a complete freedom of thought

Satanic Panic was some cucks listening to Sabaton and saying it's the Satan's music. It was a parody of all that Christianity stood for, turning the Christian movement into a caricature @AdorableStormtrooper

tbh a lot of metal bands are indeed satanists

they were not wrong to panic

as well as the people that listen to it

just thinking about what was going on at that time..80s music, all the hippie stuff, Miscegenation stuff, Abortion began to be legalized, the pill had gone mainstream, drugs, disco culture, raves, and all of this being normalized in celebrity culture
