    I’m not American. Other than murdering children overseas and being fat, what culture does America have?

      Non exhaustive

      Culinary culture: ranch dressing, macaroni and cheese, cheeseburgers, chowders, various fusion and reinterpretation foods (such as tex mex, cali mex, and American Chinese food)

      Musical culture: jazz, rap, blues, rock and roll

      Clothing culture: blue jeans, t shirts as outerwear, western style clothing

      Traditional celebrations: a variety of sporting events, high school dance celebrations such as homecoming and prom, independence day celebrations (fireworks, cookouts, and outdoor activities are traditional)

      Game culture: baseball and gridiron football

      Is there an aspect of culture in specific you’d like to accuse us of not having?

        Literally none of those originate from the USA.

        Fuck me, Americans really think they invented everything. Just because you made them popular because you stole culture from another country doesn’t mean you invented it.

        various fusion and reinterpretation foods (such as tex mex, cali mex, and American Chinese food)

        This is an actual defence of “America has no culture” and an example is literally taking other cultures and fucking to up to make your own. Your culture is literally ripping off other cultures and claiming them yours.

        Perfect representation of “America has no culture” if I do say so myself.

        What culture do you have?

        Basketball, Hockey, Lacrosse, Curling in sport. Maple Syrup, Poutine, Donairs, with food. Multiculturalism is accepted in Canada instead of a melting pot in America. We accept other cultures here while you expect them to integrate into Americanism.

        I could go on. There’s a reason you responded with a “Well what about?” instead of actually defending Americal culture, which literally doesn’t exist.

        America is literally a global leech. Takes everything and contributes nothing.

        Canada? Ask every other International country. We can wear our flag on our body wherever we go. You wear anything American? You get spit on.

        The world fucking hates you. Maybe comments like this is why.

          Tell me something I don’t know lol. Anyways, I see I was completely right about you not being worth my time to write a thoughtful response to.

          Only an idiot would assume 300million people are all the same. I’m not an idiot so you don’t see me blaming a random native of Canada for running residential schools. That would be stupid, and exactly what you sound like.

            Oh I absolutely despise Residential Schools. And I’ll own that. And I’ll totally condemn the history of my country for them. My brother and his family is Anishinaabe and I am a sworn accepted member of their family, so I am very well aware of the strife and pain those people went though. I spent a lot of my childhood on indigenous land and spending time during events, pow wows, and major spiritual events.

            Something you and 350 million Americans seems to fail to do on a daily basis is owning your own failure. You need to be the best country in the world. Whatever sporting event you’re at you need to chant “USA! USA! USA!” You elect governments who ruin the lives of hundreds of millions of people world wide every year.

            So spare me. My gas prices in Canada are because of you. My food prices in Canada are because of you. Global inflation is literally because of you. The majority of the world’s financial and economic issues are because of America.

            And while my Canadian upbringing requires me to apologize for this, all of this is because of the 350 million Americans who allowed all of this to happen over decades.

            America is why the world is dog shit. And I cannot wait for all the Trump tariffs to cut any imports to America and I hope you all starve. America has literally nothing to export. Nothing of value any other country can’t get elsewhere. You’re a leech on the global economy and I am happy to see you as a nation suffer.

            Maybe then you’ll rise up and put your 2nd amendment to example and erase the tyranny you duly elected.
