Best thing about USA, for me personally, are prices of tech. Rest, I can live without it.
No you can't. Name me your 10 top favorite bands honestly. Top 10 movies. Top 10 Tv shows. Top 10 games.
Don't name them, just think about it and where they come from. Why can't for example france and germany compete culturally? Who do most of their movies suck? Any good german bands recently? Name me 10? Or maybe some chinese literature?
Of course there are examples of great stuff from above countries, it simply doesn't have the impact that the US stuff has.
The US is by far the leader in the world culturally, economically, militarily.
Something in their society makes people create good shit that the rest of the world wants. Not having been there myself, I'm extremely interested in what it is exactly, since others report it as the land of the fat people, white trash, corruption, gang crime, racism and the stupid. There's more to it than that. I'm 100% theres something positive too, something that makes at least some people perform better than they do in the rest of the world.
This is such a gigantic euro hypocrisy. We bash them while watching their TV shows, listen to their music and watch their porn, on computers and devices designed by them.
Idk, I understand the US bashing, it's the easiest way to explain stuff and keep your head sorted. The olde european arrogance is always a fallback position that I used to subscribe to as well, we are after all born with it!
Anyway, now, I try to see it as best as I can from a distance. I try to accept there are many paradoxes about it, that it's yuuge and complex. Good things, bad things, mad things.
