Let's make a serious topic for serious people, none of this joke topic shit.

Do the americans on here realise that these days there exists almost no culture outside their country? And what does exist is shit? And that any attempt by any of us non americans to pretend otherwise, is an attempt to troll the americans?

Do they realise how shit the rest of the world is in terms of culture? Sorry, I meant Culture. big black C U L T U R E that can be proudly displayed alongside BIG DEAD WHITE MEN old fashioned culture. We have none of it. I live in Britain and the old buildings are nice but that's literally it, there's nothing else and there never will be anything else. The United States of Europe is going to become a more pleasant China and that will be the death of non American culture.

It's only American culture because Americans figured out how to commoditize media first and so won the market. What you're actually complaining about is capitalism.

>almost no culture
>and what does exist is shit

that's mainstream white American culture though

our culture is memes, Big Bang Theory, Marvel movies, and garbage

True. There is not a single writer in Europe who has half the wits or talent of a Pynchon or Foster Wallace.

Britain is one of the most traditional Western countries in the fucking world, you hamburger loving pleb.

The Queen spits on you and your Yanky loving habits.

Not too mention - if you actually leave Europe you'll find there are plenty of cultures who are so vehemently opposed to America they will actually exaggerate their own cultural differences to separate them more.

But America has no real culture in the first place.

Globalized consumerist culture is not uniquely American, it's Global and an effect of the global market unto civilizations. It has nothing to do with the US.

>“America is the original version of modernity. We are the dubbed or subtitled version. America ducks the question of origins; it cultivates no origin or mythical authenticity; it has no past and no founding truth. Having known no primitive accumulation of time, it lives in a perpetual present.”

-Jean Baudrillard

Yes, we fully realize it and love every second of it.

We really do laugh our asses off that you fags are stuck with soccer and we get to watch Football every sunday. It's goddamn great.

Not joking either.

All eurofags like to criticize America but also cry themselves to sleep wishing they were born in the cultural center of the world. Wah wah why was I born in this no name shithole instead of the great frontier
