    I think it's might have been David Starkey who said everywhere American culture is different from European culture it is more African.

    You are all blacks to us.

    Not only that but they also try to export this everywhere, years ago americans would say things like 'why there are no blacks in your country?'

    Notice you have to cut off before "The United States has its own language."

    Monotonous speech isn't another language.

    This doesn't really make sense. Libs don't get mad about the idea of America having its own culture. You must be thinking of "white culture," which isn't really a thing because there are so many different places that white people in the US came from.

    Like I kind of get the point of the meme but it's not quite there.

    Also, America doesn't have its own culture. It has lots and lots of different cultures. And that's not even a race thing - even within the predominately white cultures of the US, there's a lot of variation and no cohesive "culture." Think of Mississippi swamp people vs Ohio suburbs...

    That's what makes America so different from other countries. There IS no specific "American culture"

    Every culture has sub cultures. That's doesn't mean the over arching culture doesn't exist.

    Clearly the USA has a culture.

    And it's annoying.

    I disagree, Libs very much get opposed to the U.S. having its own culture. They hate ANYTHING American and anything regarding the founding of the country. They even get triggered by the American flag!

    Idk man, I've never met a liberal that actually gets triggered by the American flag. That's some fox news manufactured outrage type shit. There's plenty to criticize about liberals without having to make stuff up.

    Also liberal Americans love guns just as much as the right. That's another false split.

    Years ago some liberals would get triggered by the American flag. Now nobody gives a shit anymore, conservative or liberal. America isnt really a country so much as an oligarch ruled economic zone that includes an aggressive military industrial complex. Conservatives use to be flag waving morons, but I think the summer of floyd, woke cancel culture and the 2020 election have cured most of them of their patriotism. Now they are just as likely to say fuck America as liberals are.

    Is immigration really comparable to a literal wartime invasion with bombs, tanks, guns, etc.?

    Yes

    Savage used to say this and he was right. Regrettably Savage sucks now but he was the first to state this repeatedly.
