  • American culture is exposed to everyone due to the internet

    I would define the American culture to be highly individualistic and xenophilic (to a point), cuisine generally being borrowed from Germany, France and Italy with most famously their Burgers

    Christmas and Thanksgiving is very ingrained, and whilst you might claim Christmas is very universal (partly thanks to America) Halloween isn’t, and it’s mainly celebrated in USA and mostly USA only.

    in America, community is more loose of a term than anywhere else, and independence is a must-have skill to have, this is why the trope of being kicked out as soon as possible from a household is so prevalent even though this doesn’t seem to happen as much, or at all in other nations unless in very dire circumstances

    America is generally depicted with the stereotypes of either southern conservative god-fearing people who attend protestant mass, or Californian liberals who seemingly accept anything and everything, enjoying luxury and being very upset about trivial issues, though due to individualism I can not think for the life of me a common dressing pattern, maybe military uniforms or suits

    Due to how xenophilic and domineering American culture is, the media have essentially allowed for American culture to be available basically anywhere, mostly portraying itself within companies, holidays, local media and politics







  • It’s how America funds it’s military and the bureaucratic inefficiency stemming from reliance on private companies, if it was my tax money then I would be sufficiently mad that it’s being used to only keep the status quo for education, which people decry as mediocre at best, and actively used to partake in Palestine, and provide money to the military Industrial complex instead of, say, construction of a railway or a new act to reform land zoning regulation, providing districts with better funding and reform of police to lessen the authority and increase the accountability.

    Also, instantly assuming exactly what you hate onto me is crazy, the fuck are you doing?
