Rap/Pop music, fast food, shitty blockbusters and some admittedly good TV shows do not a culture make.

Why are there no American poets or philosophers of note? OK, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Poe were based, but Name some more.

You can you're family are all welcome, just sneak into China and take a plane to Canada. Then from there just cross the non-existent border.

If it's so shitty, why is it so dominant?
>>
>>57309830
People like movies and America is the biggest maker of movies. That's not really a huge cultural influence, to be honest. You can't culturally dominate someone when you lack culture.
>>
>>57309970
But why are we the biggest maker of movies if we're so inferior? Do you not understand how markets work or something?

I'm not saying you have bad movies, but movies are not culture.

You dominate culture because you won WW2 and the Could War. Nothing to do with cultural superiority.
>>
>>57310170
They won the Cold War because they were culturally superior. The whole world, especially the oppressed east of the iron curtain wanted rock n roll, jeans, hamburgers, etc. Consumer culture isn't imposed on people. People willingly choose consumer culture because more = better.

Just admit it. American media is dominant. American corporations are dominant. This is for a reason.

Most cheap plastic products are made in China. Does that mean Chinese culture is everywhere?

> American media is dominant
True
> American corporations are dominant
Depends. Germany and Japan have a better auto industry and Samsung is the best producer of smartphones in the world. Dominant but not dominant in everything. Relative to other countries, America isn't as powerful as it used to be in the 50s, 60s and 80s.

Yes, as I've said, people like entertainment. But if you think that's culture... Well, you're an American so you can't know what the word culture really means...

>>57310387
If China was the one designing the products and not just assembling them, yes.

>>57310448
You can say we have no culture all you want, but you never actually define what culture is. By any sociological definition, America has culture.

I don't have to google it, I live it. Culture isn't something you change every year when a new blockbuster movie comes out, it's tradition, something with history.

Lower class is a bunch of uneducated morons. Let them have their games and entertainment. But culture it is not.
