I believe, that in terms of culture, these are the best countries to ever exist.
Maybe not as much in the economic sense as the US or Germany have, but in terms of culture? They are not to be beaten.
What traits to these countries share, and what made them so great?
>>58342280
>What traits to these countries share, and what made them so great?
Roman empire.
Oh, you're based too, Austria
>>58342308

While practically the same culture, I think mentally we share some more of the easy going Italy rather than be completly conservative like Germany.
>>58343700
Wut, you and Bavaria are the most conservative in the whole Germanicsphere
>>58343700
funny you should say that since it was an austrian and in italian that completely fucked the germs.
They have something the Germanics always lacked: passion.

Today maybe. I guess this goes for alot of countries these days.
Today everything is about optimizing economics and less about culture to live a good life.
>>58342280
I think Hollywood and videogames, and Animu and videogames, put the US and Japan up there.
Portugal is quite good also. It's like a Southern Galicia (jk portuguese people xD)
They might not be quite big, but the people is really nice.
>>58343090
why do you think I hate them?
>>58342280
France I definitely agree, Italy I mostly agree, but fucking SPAIN..? Please.
>>58344119
Actually they all have good comics too.
Tough Spanish and Italian comics are really niche, but from what I heard it has a big tradition?
>>58344157
Because you are a special snowflake
>>58344161
Let me guess that you have an opinion without knowing facts. How amazing
>>58344207
no, because I know how disgusting and braindead we are.
>mfw I see an italian or a spaniard near me
>>58344119
>he doesn't know about the french animu, mangas and comics
>>58344203
The main comic traditions are American, Japanese, French/Belgian and Italian. France has by far the biggest market in Europe and it's also where most comic artist go look for publishers to.

germans are born workers. they are worker drones whose culture revolves around the things that they do. heck, they are even named after their family trade, like mueller, etc. for germans, every thing is a task, weather it be a fun activity or not. For the french and italians philosophy is a fun brain activity that they engage in while drinking coffee and wine in the countless cafes dotting their cities, but for the germans, philosophy is daunting task that requires a journey through hell and back.

you're not Latin you're Latino, which means you're about as latin as a mexican, stop trying to jump on the bandwagon even if it's only to criticize like the raging nordic worshipper tool you are.
>>58344760
The Roman Empire was also established in Asia
>>58342280
You ain't lying pham.
I think it's the "enjoy sunshine" factor. A balance between the more pragmatic military/economic obligations and creature comforts.
Why worry about a scratch in the paint or a little dent if your car still runs fine? Go home, eat and drink good.
>>58344843

and you're still a flamboyant heritage faggot trying to shit on countries he knows literally nothing about except /int/ memes, just stick to /lat/ posting and quit trying this hard.
>>58344784
Thanks, Im not quite good at English.
Oh, and it is true, I've been twice. I've been robbed twice. That doesn't make Germany bad. But hey, there is poop at Spain, their culture doesn't exist.
And you are right, there are no spanish culture, there are different cultures.
Andalusian, castilian, catalonian, galician, asturian...
Probably you have heard about the Holy week in Spain, or it doesnt exist?
>>58344421
*cough cough*
>>58345148
>and you're still a flamboyant heritage faggot trying to shit on countries he knows literally nothing about except /int/ memes
no, I know enough of those countries to know they're shit, and not for /int/ memes.
and you're just a butthurt faggot.
>>58344655
No thanks.

Oh, ok !
>>58345248
I get it now, you are a descendant of a Nazi soldier who went to Argentina, am I right?
>>58345248
There's literally nothing wrong with Italy except for some southern places. Northern Italy is unironically one of the best places to live in Europe.
>>58345248
>t-they r so shit :(( I prefer germny
what a fucking third worlder tool lmao
>>58344337
Hm, I woudn't put Italian comics on par with French or US.
Spanish have (or had) an equal comic variey as the french do.
Italy is more known for it's Disney Comics, but not much else.
>>58345346
nope, unironically italian and spanish mix
>>58345384
they're basically Argentina 2.0
>>58345389

I dislike the first world in general, so you're wrong again, stay mad terrone

>>58345503

So what do you like most, Africa or Cuba? (I personally would choose Cuba)
>>58345503
>they're basically Argentina 2.0
You wish.
Check HDI and GPD per capta for each region in Italy and you'll realize the Northern part is just as good if not even better than countries like Germany and Austria.
>>58344161
Spain is about 100 times better than germany
>>58342280
you should also add geographie, climate, food and many other things
they all contribute
also I can not avoid feeling bad for Portugal when seeing this
>>58343364

I don't think Spain is very first world after the last crisis, and I don't care about France 2bh, I'm not interested on them.
>>58345661
none of them, I'm anti-commie to the bone
>>58345671
those are just numbers, Italy has poverty, mafia and corruption as a 3rd world SA country
>>58345650
You dont have to be that aggressive
He is xenofobic, you dont have to insult whole Germany, because that is also xenofobic
>>58345635
In how many countries were those commercially successfull?
In France for sure, maybe Spain
They seem really niche...I still think the French had the most mass market ones in Europe by far.
>>58345811
LOL you are one of those suckers that think that the first/second world is something related to economy HAHAHAHA.
Guess what, The term Third World arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO, or the Communist Bloc. The United States, Western European nations and their allies represented the First World, while the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and their allies represented the Second World
>>58345805
He doest speak spanish n is half spanish n half german .
Finally he looks like a nazi,in my opinion racemix is a fucking mistake.
I like Italian food
>>58346082
everyone does
>>58345912
matter of perspective, there is no great successful French comic being published in Italy right now, even though or comic traditions have always been tied and a lot of Italian artists used to go to France in the 80's and 90's.
The only really big comic industries belong to the US and Japan, all the rest are pretty niche, French comics are far from being mainstream anywhere outside of France, same goes for Italian comics, I really know very little about Spanish comics though.
>>58346042
These are three errors, hahahaha
>>58343913
Depends a bit on region I would say. Here on the left side of the Rhine, we wuz Roman too for about 500 years (I doubt that has any lasting influence though beside some geographical names), but lots of froggish influence too over the later centuries.
I'd say overall, we're a bit less "cold" (unapproachable, reserved...) than Northerners
>>58346290
>guess the basque
>>58343700
Austria has basically created the culture Germany pride itself with.
Thanks for Viennoiserie and croissants.
>>58346283
Asterix and TinTin are mainstream in Europe.
Do not forget that Germany was part of the Spanish empire, "Carlos I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman Empire, called" Caesar "c (Ghent, 24 February 1500 - Cuacos de Yuste, September 21, 1558) he reigned with his mother (the latter only nominally) in all kingdoms and Hispanic territories with the name of Carlos I from 1516a to 1556, bringing together for the first time in the same person the crowns of Castile (Kingdom of Navarra inclusive ) and Aragon. was also Holy Roman emperor Charles V from 1520 to 1558 "
>>58346522
Yes, but we will fight it with Mortadelo y Filemón (?
>>58346283
>French comics are far from being mainstream anywhere outside of France
bullshit, they are mainstream in Belgium and switzerland too. Perhaps even more in Belgium than in France t bh
>>58346522
Corto Maltese is also mainstream, but both industries are pretty ded right now, far from mainstream in both cases.
>>58346567

too bad almost all the spanish comic scene died years ago

In what therms?
Also, th Social authism is the same in babaria as in Prusia.
>>58346539

>>58346357
Herrera, De Gea and Mata, no Basque name
>>58346539
Yes, good day to remember that guy, right in the comuneros day, those three guys who tried to fight him, but they lost.
>>58346609
and Italian comics are also popular in Switzerland and for some reason the Balkans love Zagor and Alan Ford, who wins?
>>58346539
and his brother bornt in Spain Ferdinand reigned over the HRE after him as well as Austria, Hungary and other territories in central-east europe
>>58346625
Oh man I remember getting one of these comics many years ago, breddy gud.
>>58346644

>>58346634
They're just generally more religious, less accepting of """progressive""" shit and so on. Also Austria has a right-wing party with around 30% votes, not even Saxony comes that close
Of course for you (I assume you're some Southerner immigrant), those subtle difference aren't easily visible because by your "livin' la vida loca" standards, it's still very reserved/quiet
>>58346728
yep, I own several of them and they are all very nice
same with Asterix and Obelix
>>58346640
Yes, it was practically that, but a lot of people wont accept it
