I mean, I find them all annoying. But it just seems that the complete lack of materialism makes it even more cringe. CK2's After the End is actually fun and unique because it's supposed to not really make sense and exaggeration of American tropes, but shit like A24's new movie or all the other civil war porn created by NATOids are so annoying to witness.

    Can't imagine what you never experience. These people all lead comfortable lives.

      They're constantly showing that they have absolutely no grasp of materialism. They read something about how (for example) unlike the US, the USSR had little to no tropical fruit in its grocery stores and they think "ah, clearly capitalism is the superior system" rather than, say, recognizing that the US was able to have cheap tropical fruit because it installed juntas in Central/South America and forced them to orient their economies around fruit exports.
