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

semantics

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

@HyperGrapes

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

"yank" just means "american" at this point

"dixie" means white southerner but nobody uses that word

except maybe pejoratively by <:brainlet:641447195773501440> republicucks going all MUH DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL RACISTS (dixiecrat etc)

i am a dixie american

Genuine redneck, ask me anything.

@Imperial J. Yay The sun, plus geography

@Norik I didn't care for Madea, and it spiralled from there

The account of the friendship between David and Jonathan in the Books of Samuel has been interpreted by traditional and mainstream writers as a relationship of affectionate regard. It has also been interpreted by some authors as of a sexual nature.[16][17] Theologian Theodore Jennings identifies the story as one of desire for David by both Saul and Jonathan, stating, "Saul's jealousy has driven [David] into Jonathan's arms."[18] Michael Coogan addresses the claim of their homosexual relationship and explicitly rejects it.[19]

One relevant Bible passage on this issue is 1 Samuel 18:1:

When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. (NRSV)[20]
Another relevant passage is 2 Samuel 1:26, where David says:

I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; greatly beloved were you to me; your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. (NRSV)[21]
The story of Ruth and Naomi in the Book of Ruth is also occasionally interpreted by contemporary scholars as the story of a lesbian couple.[22][23] Coogan states that the Hebrew Bible does not even mention lesbianism.[24]

you see this is another reason i hate lgbt
it ruins male bonds and assumes that they are all secretly homosexual
