gutenberg was a technical innovator
if your point is that printing press enabled wider spread for culture: fair enough
but which culture? all of them?
>>56636582
the internet is not a for of culture, it is a technology to spread information
could've made an argument for muh "internet culture", but aparently you're too fucking stupid for that
american imageboard? ratted off from japs 1to1? with emphasis on jap culture? haha no, get the fuck out!
what other languages do you speak? none? pathetic attempt!

Good one Japan, you have bested us with your intellect this time.
I concede to you Japans superior cultural influence on the world today. Little girl cartoons and being a virgin loser truly are the marks of modern day society.
Well played sir!
>>56636907
i do, because i did not say you had no culture at all. that was your projection. i said: the only influential part of culture from america is consumer culture.
>>56636907
Movies and some music are influential, you should've mentioned them. It's not much compared to any major European culture including English culture though. Bestone is right and his arguments are precise.
>>56635355
>America being the most influential
If you consider being toxic and parasitic 'cultural influence' then you're right yeah.
I can't think of a single country that even comes close to the impact USA has globally today. They dominate the movie, music, retail, fast-food, etc. markets.
Tbh probably japan, they are still known for high quality electronics (phones, cars, appliances, video games, etc.)
>>56636711
>the internet is not a for of culture, it is a technology to spread information
M8, you memeing me on how much you hate the US is a result of cultural expression afforded by the internet.
Look at your reply to rare flag. Gutenberg's printing press is the prefect example.
>if your point is that printing press enabled wider spread for culture: fair enough
Also:
>what other languages do you speak? none?
You're implicating that I'm uncultured for not speaking any other language- yet you're not seeing the irony in you speaking English. Which, by the way, is a testament to the degree of American influence over the past ~70 years.
When will people finally admit that 'culture' isn't just old buildings?
England, France and Spain
If you take consumerism out of the question, what culture does the USA have left? Political correctness?
>>56637443
>japan, they are still known for high quality electronics
lol what? japan is known for cheap consumer tier crap that breaks apart after a limited time period
they actively design their industrial products like cars for that
and what has electronics have to do with culture? it's sci/tech not culture...
>>56637556
there is no irony in me speaking english
do you even comprehend what irony is?

This. The British are the non-meme answer. They even perpetuate what would otherwise constitute 'American' culture at a much higher degree than any other country.

meanwhile around the whole planet being rich and classy is represented by having a villa on the lake of como, driving a maserati, a ferrari or a lamborghini, riding a ducati or a MV augusta, wearing suits and shirts handmade in naples, shoes from florence, furnishing a home with stuff designed and built in milan, sailing around in a Riva yatch
museums around the planet are chock full of italian art, curators would suck dicks to have a leonardo for 1 day in their museums
the fashion industry is basically italian
hollywood can't help but suck italians' dicks and cheering for directors like paolo sorrentino and gabriele muccino
italian music is loved all around the globe from south america, eastern europe, asia, with classical singers like andrea bocelli, pavarotti, composers like oscar winner ennio morricone, and dozens of pop singers
italian food is the most beloved on the planet
>faggots on /int/ will still try to argue

does the conditioning of italian children to become arrogant grandeur illusionists begin at birth or at a later phase in life?

Yes there is when you're trying dispel the degree of American cultural influence over your daily life. How daft can a human being be?

"As a global language, English unquestionably owes much to empire. That there are large native-speaking English across the world (and countries where English is a common working language) is in large part due to that proud English/British tradition of sailing around the world and stealing lands. But this alone explains little about English's remarkable position in the world today. Both French and Spanish can similarly claim to be global languages in this sense.
So what is it that elevates English above these other languages? What accounts for the spread of English beyond its colonial borders to become a truly global lingua franca, spoken from Indonesia to Italy? Why is English not limited to an Anglosphere, an equivalent of la Francophonie?
And that's what's interesting about English. It's not that it has a lot of native speakers but that it's become an important asset in most professional, political or cultural fields across the world. As Jiao Xue and Wenjing Zuo note (in their own 'international English'):
"Whether you like English or not, if you want to enter into the wave of globalization and informatization, and conduct effective international communications, or you want to become an influential politician, merchant and scientist, you must be able to use English to communicate."
Empire alone does not explain how this has come about. To be blunt: the fact English is an official language in India and Nigeria is of little relevance in understanding why most Finnish scientific papers are today published in English..."
>>56638463
>when facing objective facts
for an italian an objective fact is this: the world is bootshaped, everyone who disagrees is an idiot!
i don't care about no one not caring about my country, this is aside the point entirely
and i did not call others arrogant, i called you specifically arrogant
>>56638602

all i see is English, not America, but English

>>56638363
"Speaking of science, it provides a clear example of the growing importance of English. In 1920 the most popular language for scientific papers was German (followed by English and French). By 1960 English had passed this, growing to 50% of all papers published. By 1980 it was at 75% and accelerating: in 1996 91% of scientific papers were in English. Today approximately 1% of scientific papers are published in German and entire journals have simply switched to English, name and all. To become an internationally renowned scientist today almost requires some ability to communicate in English.
Other areas are less easy to track, given the absence of such an obvious metric, but the trend is clear. French remained the lingua franca of diplomats until WWII, albeit with English's prominence growing in the interwar years. English was given a particularly boost by the founding of the UN and the emergence of the US as a superpower. In business, English has quickly spread along with globalisation, as Western companies and their technologies march around the world. Anecdotally, I've sat in Russian call centres where no one spoke English but the operators were still obliged to type English phrases (in the Latin alphabet) because the IT system used was American. This is the reach of English at the coalface.
For our purposes, what's particularly interesting about all this is that this rise of English as a global lingua franca largely post-dates the demise of the Empire and has little to do with colonial structures...."
i take my arguments against italy back now
pasta culture has clearly conquered american continent
>>56638363
"Instead this spread is largely a product of the second half of the 20th C: that period of economic and political dominance by the US. There are some specific factors at work in each area (eg developments in the field of science were largely due to US sponsored translation efforts) but generally "in the latter half of the 20th century, [English's] widespread use was mostly due to the military, economic and cultural dominance of the United States of America." The multinationals, institutions, technologies, etc that have driven the spread of English over the past several decades have largely been American. As David Crystal puts it:
"During the 20th C, [English's] world presence was maintained and promoted almost single-handedly through the new American superpower. Economics replaced politics as the chief driving force. And the language behind the US Dollar was English."
It's not monocausal, stupid
To be clear: none this is to say that the Empire was irrelevant. There were a number of reasons as to why English was at the right place at the right time when it came to exploding globally. But empire does not explain the ability of English to spread beyond colonial borders; for that we have to look at the broader political and economic context of the 20th C. And that's where the Americans come in. The US' political, economic and cultural reach over the past several decades has been key in growing English beyond its colonial borders...."

what i listed in my post is objective, you can tip toe around it because it makes your booty hurt all you want, people suck our dicks in fashion, in cinema, in art, in cousine, in music, in car culture, etc, there is nothing you can say to change that

France
They dominate high cuisine everywhere. Chinese, Japanese, Americans and other Euros all visit them second most after the USA. Couple that with the fact that their language is spoken all over and it is the language of international diplomacy- you have to admit it's France.
