puritans and southerners and all the rest all fall within the umbrella of English-American culture

2020-02-01 18:13:16 UTC  

it's all multicultural. this no different live of analysis

2020-02-01 18:13:18 UTC  

they are merely subsets of a greater whole

2020-02-01 18:13:38 UTC  

ahh yes, and Spain also has one culture

2020-02-01 18:13:52 UTC  

okay now you're just being disingenuous

2020-02-01 18:14:03 UTC  

really?

2020-02-01 18:14:05 UTC  

lol

2020-02-01 18:14:18 UTC  

the situation in spain and the US are nowhere near analogous

2020-02-01 18:14:51 UTC  

have you ever been to the South and the North?

2020-02-01 18:15:00 UTC  

yes I have lived in both

2020-02-01 18:15:07 UTC  

and in the midwest too

2020-02-01 18:15:47 UTC  

there are obviously differences, but they are nowhere near as pronounced as say the differences between the Galicians and the Catalonians

2020-02-01 18:16:20 UTC  

and the differences that do exist are largely the natural result of living in different environments and economies, not fundamentally different understandings of the world

2020-02-01 18:16:38 UTC  

they still share the same protestant english substrate

2020-02-01 18:17:24 UTC  

and Galicians and Castilians? Spain doesn't shared the same Catholic latin substrate?

2020-02-01 18:17:38 UTC  

this is pointless

2020-02-01 18:17:43 UTC  

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
