What are your “cultural exports”?
Movies, fast food chains, clothing chains, etc. The American brand and lifestyle that goes with it. Not exactly the greatest cultural achievements of all time, but they brought in cash.
Capitalism isn’t culture.
Correct, the clothes and movies and music are the culture
Can you name an aspect that is USA specific?
Are you completely culturally illiterate?
You have a wrong concept of what is culture
Are you trying to tell me capitalism is culture?
Culture is what defines a society, so make of that what you want.
I can get down with that…
I can't speak for the rest of the world, but in Serbia 90% of TV shows and movies are American, and generally people watch primarily American movies/series online and in cinemas. Most people listen to American music and use English words in daily conversation. Most are familiar with things like 9/11, Vietnam, 4th of July, Woodstock, hippies etc.
A lot of younger people are more familiar with American history, topics, movies and music than their own culture. I'm not saying it's good, but Americans have an undeniably strong cultural influence, at least in Europe.
Yes, but what is uniquely USA? It’s US Defaultism.
What did you write this comment on?
I’m gonna skip a step…Nothing invented by USAian, no I won’t be elaborating or entertaining your delusions with further discussion. Search engines are your friend.
So, let me guess, a Zuse Z1?
