#or when some people from usa and europe decide you are too uncivilized and fucks up your country)

You are right, the USA has a beautiful and rich culture and I think one of the reasons people dismiss that so easily is that, in our world right now it's kind of the default and it's a default that is suppressing other places culture and so those places' people lash out denying that the default has any value so there's that,

but also by being the default it kinda becomes invisible, all other cultures are judged based on how different they are fron the default

And lastly it's not actually the default a sanitized, corporation version is said default, but from people on the outside is hard to see that nuance, well nowadays it's a bit easier since more actual people make content about USA's culture, but that's too new

Anyway everywhere has a beautiful culture that should be respected and we should stop demonizing it as a way to fight back imperialism

anyways (I say this as someone who is deeply critical of the united states government, military, unchecked capitalism, police, etc) I am SICK of people treating america as if it has no cultural value or positives so…..
