we aren't going to agree

2020-02-01 18:17:53 UTC  

the different cultures of the iberian peninsula have been diverging for at least a thousand years

2020-02-01 18:18:02 UTC  

america has existed for like two weeks

2020-02-01 18:18:39 UTC  

and in fact american culture has been converging since at least reconstruction

2020-02-01 18:19:03 UTC  

differences in language isn't important
I don't know what kind of difference in worldview you are ascribing to Galicia and Catalonians

2020-02-01 18:19:16 UTC  

the point is that america is clearly assimilationist and toward the anglo-saxon tradition, not multicultural

2020-02-01 18:19:30 UTC  

@Norik thanks for correcting me. It was just the impression I got since I'm no expert on American history.

2020-02-01 18:19:32 UTC  

even if that assimilation can present different regional flavors

2020-02-01 18:19:56 UTC  

American culture is unfortunately shallow

2020-02-01 18:20:05 UTC  

^boomer take

2020-02-01 18:20:25 UTC  

it was post-war consumerism that killed american culture

2020-02-01 18:20:47 UTC  

Hollywood destroyed American culture

2020-02-01 18:20:53 UTC  

Indeed

2020-02-01 18:21:04 UTC  

We don't have any heroes anymore

2020-02-01 18:21:10 UTC  

I think Blackpilled has a video explaining the topic

2020-02-01 18:21:40 UTC  

How Hollywood brought stereotype of American to life

2020-02-01 18:21:50 UTC  

the "anglo-saxon tradition" exists as much as the Iberian tradition and has very divergent branches

2020-02-01 18:22:12 UTC  

this divergence lead to civil war in the US

2020-02-01 18:22:24 UTC  

I think America has plenty of latent culture, there's just a thicc layer of neoliberalism over it

2020-02-01 18:23:10 UTC  

semantics

2020-02-01 18:23:17 UTC  

The North and South had very different cultures, the North was far more friendly to poisonous ideologies

2020-02-01 18:23:19 UTC  

Quite frankly, the american right will never endorse high culture, because they view government mandated standards as "big gubmint"

2020-02-01 18:23:39 UTC  

different cultures never co-existed in the same location in american history

2020-02-01 18:23:47 UTC  

Except now

2020-02-01 18:23:53 UTC  

right

2020-02-01 18:24:02 UTC  

except for maybe new york and chicago in the 1910s

2020-02-01 18:24:03 UTC  

And they don't co-exist

2020-02-01 18:24:09 UTC  

more like hate each other

2020-02-01 18:24:26 UTC  

uh that's coexistence lol

2020-02-01 18:24:31 UTC  

just shitty coexistence

2020-02-01 18:29:12 UTC  

@Norik I agree. multiculturalism is just semantics

2020-02-01 18:29:27 UTC  

it's like racism and fascisms

2020-02-01 18:29:33 UTC  

magical words

2020-02-01 18:31:34 UTC  

I catched up with the new profile pic trend

2020-02-01 18:34:05 UTC  

Pickelhaube hazmat 👌

2020-02-01 18:35:39 UTC  

Do the terms Yank and Dixie have any implicit ethnic connotations?

2020-02-01 18:37:11 UTC  

Yes and no, but mostly no

2020-02-01 18:37:15 UTC  
2020-02-01 18:43:38 UTC  

It's more a question of whether the terms applies to non whites lol

2020-02-01 18:49:28 UTC  

"yank" just means "american" at this point

2020-02-01 18:50:00 UTC  

"dixie" means white southerner but nobody uses that word
