>post that American states can be very different from each other, kind of like countries in Europe are different from each other >europosters laugh and make fun for comparing states to their countries >leader of Europe agrees with me
Now can you stop bullying us and accept that America has as much as if not more culture than Europe? America is a cultural superpower.
Good. There are a few states that would count as first world countries if the US broke up.

That's not what he implied at all and you know it.

Idiots will always make you stoop to their level so I don't blame him.

I like how the article named him 'EU leader' because it rightly assumes that most of it's readers don't know Juncker or the office 'president of the European Commission'. And therefore, this article proves that Junckers threat is just laughable.
It would be funny seeing how everything but the eastern and western states would turn into mexican tier shitholes without the support of the government.
Noah Fisher
That only makes you look try-hard in comparison.

what else is there to know about american culture apart from food and corporations?

>US president makes a couple passing comments regarding Brexit, which is something that's currently happening >EU screeches autistically about an event that will never actually happen (Ohioan succesion).
Seriously, why does the EU commission trying everything in its power to make itself unlikable?
Cooper Torres
Why doesn't Britain have someone based like him or Maggie in charge right now?
Economics isn't the only metric to determine what counts as first world. South Africa has one of the highest GDP per capita in Africa, but it would probably be closer to the bottom of the list for a white man to live or even visit.
Camden Sanders
Not really. The Midwest has plenty of states with healthy economies that pay more than they get back from the feds.

It's one factor and see Most U.S. states would be first world on their own.

Art, music, film, literature, political sensibilities, etc. Defining a unified American culture is hard. Corporatism and fast food are obviously very visible parts of American culture, but you'd have to be retarded to think that's all there is to it. Like those people who shitpost about how Swedish culture goes no further than refugees/being cucks/whatever else.

>Art, music, film, literature, California and NY state >political sensibilities, Ayy lmao
Evan Thomas
California and New York produce a lot of art and entertainment, but if you think they're the only ones then you're either stupid or willfully ignorant. American political sensibilities are fucked, but distinct.

>Some Americans states are better than every canadian province
shit source honestly.

American Culture = culture that develops in absence of an ethnic/national culture.
IE its pretty much a blank slate filled in with political/cultural influences from elsewhere.

Blake Lewis
This actually makes me wonder if it is possible to intentionally push for the development of a "ethnic/national culture". Like, can you take a relatively culture-less place and steer it towards becoming a proper nation?
Angel Hill
What culture does Canada have? You're even less than what Americans have.

I would like America balkanized. >pic related

I unironically think this would be a boon to the world.

Then you are a traitor to everything our ancestors fought and died for.

Our reply should have been "if you do that then we'll promote the independence of Flanders and Berlin, germany. "

Well that dude isn't really wrong

His ancestors including his parents probably lived in Mexico.

Ok. Lets settle this now. Lets look at this pic. We need to isolate each major region in america and see if for each of them we could determine how each of the cultural factors in this pic applies to them.Then we can look at the completed lists and see for certain both if the US has a strong culture and If the regions are distinct enough to function as nations in their own right.
The regions are (correct me if I am wrong): Alaska California Cascadia Dixie Hawaii Midwest New England Rockies Southwest Texas
The factors to be examined are listed in the pic.

I forgot to add that it would be best if we could get people native to these regions to answer for these.

how the fuck did this childish cuck get elected as EU president? WHO VOTED FOR HIM!? WHO IS HE!?

All kiwis know the difference between Texas and Tennessee Most kiwis don't know the difference between Switzerland and Sweden
Sorry Euros, but American individual states are more relevant and wellknown than European individual countries in general to people outside of Europe

That's a doomed plan. It's almost as if central authority in the US is actually worth a damn.
Colton Torres
Do you know about all the African countries? To people outside of Europe, European countries are just as unknown and irrelevant
A lot of kiwis could name Germany, UK, France, Italy in Europe, a lot of kiwis could name South Africa, Madagascar, and Egypt in Africa Most kiwis couldn't name the other European and African countries

If they knew it, then why would they respond incorrectly?
