Europeans I’m BEGGING YOU to understand that America is the worst.
1) the reason we ‘culture vulture’ the cultures we’re diaspora from is because America is like a toxic ex, it severs us from our cultures of origin, isolates us and then fails to fill the void of culture with anything substantial. American culture, specifically white American culture, is basically nonexistent. Unfortunately, we’ve been part of such an imperialist system for so long that it often manifests in less than desirable ways if an American seeking that cultural connection hasn’t done the work of decolonizing their mind.
2) In America just sitting around is, to our law enforcement, tantamount to armed robbery. So yes, Americans discovering eating outside with a cigarette is a big deal to certain people because ITS NOT GENERALLY PRESENTED AS AN OPTION TO US.
3) you guys didn’t want the puritans, they came over here and now the ideology is unfortunately a cornerstone of this clusterfuck we call a nation
4) radical individualism. The most insidious part of America. Everyone wants to be God’s most specialest princess and fuck everyone else. People are either looking out for number one or they’re empathetic and its fucked them over because the American system does not reward (and often actively punishes) compassion.
5) moral currency is BIG here. But again since compassion is generally frowned on systemically, we get VERY performative.
We’re completely fucked as a nation, man. And those of us that want to get out cannot afford to.
