Tribalism is universal and diversity divides
humans are biological wired to form small tribes as that have been the norm for most of history
we have a limit at around 150 people that we will "care" about
I have not been to Florida yet nor Alaska. Outside of that I have seen every state I think. No idea what Armata is on about sounds to me like you've never been out of LA.......
Only time I’ve been to California was a short time in the desert close to Las Vegas. Worst place I’ve been was Harvey, just south of Chicago, most friendly would be Waco. Tribalism is universal. As arule, most people live with their own and don’t generally mix more than necessary. There are obvious exceptions but the ratio is still there.
Who is "your own"? I mean I prefer the Midwest. Southeasterners are maybe second favorite or Southerners depending. These are also, overall, the least what did you call it? " gutted, decrepit cities that are rotten and infested" and less segregated than the coastals. Even they at least are American (or at least occasionally try to be) so preferable to the rest of the planet. I mean the most homogenous place in the US is Vermont. You know where they elect open communists to the Senate......
It's disgusting they're practically *European.*
The best architecturally beautiful city, in my opinion, was Richmond due to the prevalence of monuments and beautiful buildings that are no longer being built. Modern building are but soulless towers made of glass that do what, reflect the human in all our weakness and mortality? Where are the majestic columns and heroic statues that speak of the immortal spirit? White flight, gentrification, different names for the same human nature.
Oh I'm aesthetically challenged. I used to date an art student. She took me to a sculpture thing at her school all I could tell her was some of it wasn't structurally sound. I do like hardwoods which is fine because I got a nice 3bed here in the midwest where it is cheap.
Beauty speaks to us on a more subconscious level which we all appreciate at some level. What most people find beautiful are things that are more similar and inspirational to them rather than diametrically different and uninspiring.
That makes no sense. Like dude your handle is a song from a German power metal bandd. that's on the other side of the planet. How is that similar?
Well, having a handle of the St. Andrew’s Cross is not very popular and I liked the song.
Right so you find this different thing from a foreign culture inspiring.........
No, but the polish mercenary who killed commies was.
Rafal? Yeah he's interesting. But again from a foreign culture. So I don't understand this theory you put forward that we find the familiar compelling...
There is no correlation in loving the culture in which your ancestors came from and opening your land to divergent and opposite culture. Indo-Europeans have a lot in common generally with a shared value system even though rivalries and different subcultures exists. The only diversity needed is our own diversity which already exists within the European people.
Wait you're European? I just figured with you talking about all the states you'd been to you were from here. I don't really have strong opinions on what you folks do with or to each other....
Or are you seriously thinking you have some *cultural* connection to people you've never met that died a century ago?
Yeah, counting your linage and who was whose father ended a while ago. However, societies who forget about their history won’t have anyone else to remember it.
Remove
If only part time
Oh I like history my father was a history teacher. World history is OK but we have an amazing history here in my country. Also have you had Kebab? It's pretty damned good.
Sorry, the yeah counting the your lineage part was sarcasm, I’m American with family in Europe. Also had Kebab in Munich and been to Dachau.
Remove Kebab
Remove kebab and Semite
Ummmm
Hmmm
