It’s not a real thang. The difference between, say, Norway and America is as big as the difference between Murica and China.
In some ways China and Norway are closer to each other than America.
In other ways, America is closer to China than Norway.
There is no western culture. It is a fucking sham.
Just look at Hollywood. The Chinese working class and the working class in the global south love it. Meanwhile Hollywood is dead in Europe because they can’t Relate to it anymore. That should tell you something.
Culture is infinitely more complex and layered than the stupid East west shit. Fuck.
Well, I'd argue the opposite, there is. The european states, excluding the eastern ones, have been americanized to a huge extent. We wear jeans, drink coca cola, eat Mc Donalds and worship capitalism (not as much as the US though). We watch the same shows, use the same apps, and generally consume the same content as Americans do, with more regulations in some areas of course, but that's just a detail. We're to the USA what Greece was to Rome, a weaker neighbour that is incorporated into the Empire, in a way. And whenever we try and deviate from the USA, we simply imitate them.
Sure, an argument can be made that each European state is different because of obvious reasons (languages, history, and so on), but the older national cultures are actually struggling to stay alive and relevant against the American one. As an example, see Scandinavia's english proficiency, like, I was SHOCKED when they had an army poster in Sweden which was written partially in English. Languages are a great tool to foster national unity, and when languages die, nationalism fades away. Why do you think Israel and Ireland tried to revive Hebrew and Irish ? Why do you think Belgium is fractured as it is ?
In fact, I'm going to say this : if tomorrow, Canada, the USA, Australia, New-Zealand and the UK merged together, you'd get some resistance surely, but in the end, their fusion wouldn't really change anything to the daily lives of the citizens. Not the same could be said of European countries, because of the previously mentionned factors, but the European Union, in a way, is the death of national cultures through uniformisation, a new culture is replacing the old ones, most of it borrowed from the USA. If you wonder what I mean, look at the pervasive US influence in South Korea or Japan. Look at Kpop, the office culture, the talk shows, the unbridled capitalism and so on.
TLDR : Western culture exists, no matter how much we hate it. And unlike the neo-pagan redpilled traditionalist morons seem to think, it's not something worth defending at all.
You forgot the level of body modesty that younger Europeans now have. Absorbing American puritanical culture.
Thanks amerikkkka.
