Because hating America is popular and those who engage in it are not interested in being objective since that isn't point. It's not an honest critique to begin with.
>Canada
Shithole with no culture. They are a copy/paste of California stoner homosexual liberal voters. >Mexico
One of few unique fusions of Old World and New World. Their culture is corny but easily identifiable. >Brazil
Mullato shithole with no culture. >Australia
Never had a unique culture. Today everything is just a repackaging of American pop media.
My point is that California is far from the only culture in America. Just look at the Germans in Wisconsin who brought over their drinking culture, the Mexican and native influences in the South West, or the Yankee culture in New England.
American has no culture meme is literally just anti-Americanism, same way people memed about Germans being inherently subservient militaristic Baby killers.
It's an insult meant to piss you off, they don't like you, simple 'as.
The people who say that don't even know what culture means. It's incredibly ironic because they post on a site that is inundated with American culture and probably also suffer from a suffusion of American culture in their own country, and simply cannot stand it.
>Canada
I am canadian, so I am an expert. No culture. Mostly just brand loyalty to Tim Hortons, Kraft Dinner, NHL, Molson Canadian etc. ironically most of which is owned overseas. its a dystopian nightmare version of culture. people claim to like winter despite winning less winter olympic medals than most other cold countries, and despite most canadians avoiding the cold at alll costs.
>Mexico
Rich culture. However it was destroyed and now it is gangs and drugs.
>Brazil
Favelas and anal sex with BBC. A rich ethnic tapestry of indigineous, african, latin, japanese and nazi ethnicities. All their womanly equally existing solely to do drugs and take black wiener up their poophole
>Australia
Crikey mate! thats a kangaroo! they have a santa that rides kangaroos. also a cool accent. like canada, they have lots of asian people. however in canada asian people exist to suck up housing and money, whereas in australia they exist to suck up wiener. also australia has a rich culture of destroying coral reefs for fun.
>America
guns, shooting, worshipping guns, praying to gun gods, buying longer rifling to more effectively use as a dildo. some may mistake america as a monotheistic religious culture. they also worship sugar and corn gods. for instance it is a common america past time to load up sugar pellets into your musket and then fire them into each others mouths.
Modern Canada seems to want to REJECT its own history and culture in order to homogenize itself into a bland globalist slop. Celebrations of 'Canadiana' are discouraged or downplayed for being 'too white' or 'not inclusive.' This includes everything from Stompin' Tom (who was famously denied a TV concert special by the CBC before he died) to 90's episodes of the Red Green Show.
Canada certainly had an interesting Anglo-Franco culture placed into the context of a huge colonial frontier, but this is being forgotten by Canadians themselves.
/Thread
Anglophone Canadians are embarrassed of their Imperial Anglo-Celtic roots, while French-Canada is still dealing with separatist sentiment and having an identity crisis about it being 'Canadian' (in the modern sense) or independent. It's tragic.
Looking at pictures of pre 1960s Canada is so sad, it's a lost winter paradise that once was.
People think America has no culture because American culture has been exported to the world, bought en masse and fully adopted because it's just so much better. Everyone speaks English, blue jeans and cheeseburgers are available on every continent, and people from nations nobody's heard of stay up to date on American politics and news.
When it's common to the whole world, it appears to not belong anywhere in particular; which is why people in India, Turkey, Germany, France, Iceland, Singapore, can consume more American cultural exports than their own cultural products and act like it doesn't exist.
>America has no culture
People say this because American culture has been dominant for nearly a century, and it has permeated nearly every society on earth. Another reason is because there is less of a unified American culture than what you have in somewhere like Spain or Germany. The culture of the South-East is very distinct from that of New England, which is distinct from California, etc. Since the main cultural exports of America have permeated nearly every society on earth, it's harder to distinguish American culture from British than it is to distinguish the culture of the South-East from, say, California.
>Another reason is because there is less of a unified American culture than what you have in somewhere like Spain or Germany >it's harder to distinguish American culture from British than it is to distinguish the culture of the South-East from, say, California.
This is almost the exact opposite of what Europeans say about us. Regional differences are sharper in Europe. America is more similar overall, but yes some people go too far and say it's "all the same" or something.
A lot of regional variation has gotten steamrolled in the past couple decades through internet, the nationalization of politics, and other trends. I finally did a little civil war tour of northern Mississippi and Alabama this summer (from the west coast) and was kind of disappointed in how homogeneous the country felt (I road-tripped my way there and back).
>Regional differences are sharper in Europe
Within what countries? I could see Spain or France maybe, but the regional differences between the Southeast and the Northeast are like completely different countries, just speaking a different language.

*speaking the same language
In Canada politicians are forced to confront each other in parliament. That never happens in the US; politicians who oppose each other rarely talk to one another. They make their little speeches in congress and then move onto friendly israeli news stations.
>politicians who oppose each other rarely talk to one another.
This isn't even true. The vast majority of elected officials are all friends and run in the same circles, but they don't show that on Talmudvision
>Within what countries?
Honestly? Probably all or most of them. The UK has so many different accents for example just within England alone. >the regional differences between the Southeast and the Northeast are like completely different countries
Such as? I definitely think the people behave differently, might have different accents, and maybe eat certain foods. I would just call that a regional difference. This is all slowly disappearing though like

said. I'd have a hard time telling someone from California, Texas, and Florida apart unless they were part of some distinct minority group (like Cubans in Florida).

Its the same for the Southeast. I can tell whether someone's from Texas, Mississippi, the Delta, South GA, etc. just by accent. IDK how it is for other parts of the country though. >Such as?
It's as you say, but the differences in behavior, how people are treated, what is tolerated, etc. are different enough to be from different countries.

I need to travel more I guess to get a better picture. I've lived my entire life in California and Oregon. Only visited a few places and mostly cities at that like Chicago and New York. Probably skews my perspective.
We're small a americans but I would never want to move to the US or join the US. Too much inequality, too much brutality, parliament is better than congress, cradle to grave coverage a plus. The only thing good about America is the weather and the food. The people suck, both Republicans and the inner city youths...Mexicans are pretty cool though.

Maybe in fricking 1914 lol.
Canada today is "cold California". Toronto is a blob city with no identity left besides being a cleaner version of NYC, while Vancouver is Hong Kong 2.0. Quebec meanwhile literally purged Anglo heritage from itself, even being so petty as to demolish old mansions that were once owned by wealthy Anglophone figures
>Why don’t people who say “America has no culture” say the same of Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, etc?
America gets more focus than canada does. Like 99% more focus outside of Canada itself.
The idea is that white people don't have culture, more than america not having culture.
Canadian culture, just like american culture exists, but varies by location.
Out west has great forests for outdoor activities like biking hiking and skiing. Out east has fisheries. Up north is inuit. Midwest is farming and ranching.
Toronto and GTA are indeed soulless copycat international business hubs with brutalist architecture, but we do actually have collective values and beliefs. We like alcohol, weed, coffee, hockey, and liberalism.
All of this is changing with the demographics, but yes, canada has culture like any other place in the world.
I didn’t mean to imply that Canada doesn’t have a culture, I actually have great respect for certain aspects of Canadian culture. As a Michigander, I consider Canadians to be like brothers.
>We like alcohol, weed, coffee,
Saying this as a Scotsman, but having drugs as a core component of ones identity is grim.
I hate that my own country thinks that being heavy drinkers is "cool" and shit. Alcohol is fun and all, but Jesus Christ it's a grim thing to attach to one's identity.
Stoners are right about it being absurd that booze is such a normalized drug when it's so objectively awful for health and society
I’m not American so I can honestly say that America has the most rich history and culture out of Anglo colonies.
At least when it comes to America, I’m still interested in reading their history (I especially find 17th century colonial America very interesting). On the other hand, no one gives a shit about Canadian or Australian history or cares to read about it.
I think this need to degenerate America very much comes from a source of envy. Despite all, America still remains the most powerful nation on earth. It has an economy larger than Europe despite being smaller in population and size. It is still immensely innovative and has the greatest universities in the world. Even China is still finding it immensely hard to surpass America.
Because hating America is popular and those who engage in it are not interested in being objective since that isn't point. It's not an honest critique to begin with.
Quite a few people resent American cultural dominance for one reason or another and try to pretend it doesn't exist.
Canada and Australia have even less culture than America does

What? America is way more than California. Here in Michigan, the first day of hunting season is basically a minor holiday, for example:
California is not only the liberal parts numbnuts
My point is that California is far from the only culture in America. Just look at the Germans in Wisconsin who brought over their drinking culture, the Mexican and native influences in the South West, or the Yankee culture in New England.
you may not be able to read anon
Learn to read moron.
Oh look, it's the guy who thinks how much pop culture is sold to him is the amount of culture a country has.
I've actually been to those countries with the exception of Brazil and it's 100% accurate. Mexico is Americanized as frick these days though.
American has no culture meme is literally just anti-Americanism, same way people memed about Germans being inherently subservient militaristic Baby killers.

America has more culture than Argentina

Newfoundland is very culturally distinct; the other provinces don't have any cultures though.

American culture
1. jazz
2. comic books
3. wrestling
4. free verse poetry
5. abstract expressionism
Don’t forget about Rock music and Individualism.

Holywood is product
What american claims as culture, as far as eyes can meet, is product.
So is literally every other culture.

Because Canada remained loyal to Britain, so it has British culture.
No it doesn't. Maybe decades and decades ago.
It has all the same values as Britain at least.
