this is pointless
we aren't going to agree
the different cultures of the iberian peninsula have been diverging for at least a thousand years
america has existed for like two weeks
and in fact american culture has been converging since at least reconstruction
differences in language isn't important
I don't know what kind of difference in worldview you are ascribing to Galicia and Catalonians
the point is that america is clearly assimilationist and toward the anglo-saxon tradition, not multicultural
@Norik thanks for correcting me. It was just the impression I got since I'm no expert on American history.
even if that assimilation can present different regional flavors
American culture is unfortunately shallow
^boomer take
it was post-war consumerism that killed american culture
Hollywood destroyed American culture
Indeed
We don't have any heroes anymore
I think Blackpilled has a video explaining the topic
How Hollywood brought stereotype of American to life
the "anglo-saxon tradition" exists as much as the Iberian tradition and has very divergent branches
this divergence lead to civil war in the US
I think America has plenty of latent culture, there's just a thicc layer of neoliberalism over it
The North and South had very different cultures, the North was far more friendly to poisonous ideologies
Quite frankly, the american right will never endorse high culture, because they view government mandated standards as "big gubmint"
different cultures never co-existed in the same location in american history
Except now
right
except for maybe new york and chicago in the 1910s
And they don't co-exist
more like hate each other
uh that's coexistence lol
just shitty coexistence
@Norik I agree. multiculturalism is just semantics
it's like racism and fascisms
magical words
I catched up with the new profile pic trend
Pickelhaube hazmat 👌
Do the terms Yank and Dixie have any implicit ethnic connotations?
Yes and no, but mostly no
It's more a question of whether the terms applies to non whites lol
"yank" just means "american" at this point
