Why isn't every other country in the world trying to copy the US ?

[BjornP]

The question you're missing is, do communities have the right to decide what is acceptable public behavior?

Oh, they absolutely do. Just like the Brits have the absolute right to ban "hate speech" in the public sphere. Their land, their society, their culture, their law. It's just a law that makes you less free. If society doesn't want you to be free about public beer drinking, hey... your land, your rights. If I ever decide to be a tourist in the States, I'd respect that things I'd be free to do at home would get me arrested in the States. No more different than visiting any other country.

OP question is about "why don't you wish your country was more like the US?"

[Speaker to Animals]

You realize UK is totally pozzed and Denmark is still relatively safe and free, right?

I have seen hilarious YouTube footage of Danish media personalities interviewing people from Sweden, where they ask these guys if they realize how bad this shit is getting, and the Swede is basically blinking SOS signals, terrified of admitting the truth.

We shit all over Monty's cultlike behavior, but consider he will be locked in a fucking cage for criticizing the demographic replacement of his people.

You need to diminish American cultural exports and encourage your own cultures. The way America really fucks up the world is through Hollywood and, cousin, I would love to nuke that place at this point.

Kinda like DB's post in that sense. If one hates oneself, sees one's country and culture as everything that is wrong in the world, as even the origin of everything that's wrong in the world, you can't have a meaningful relationship with other countries without compromising yourself and your own interests. I'm gonna sound like DrY now, but look inward and learn to be peace with yourself and engage others with confidence. Confidence is what makes the difference between pride and arrogance. The neurotic guilt-tripping, the victimhood culture is eroding the "swagger", the ease of confidence that we associated Americans with when I was a kid.

Compared to countries like Germany or Sweden, I think we do alright on encouraging our own culture. Popular music these days is sung in Danish, whereas earlier, even native musicians would need to sing in English to become a hit on the radio. It's been turning for the last one and half/two decades. TV series and movies have a hard time competing against the American productions, though at least they're trying.

Hollywood is not my culture, or my nation. My nation is the South. It belongs to a larger nation state that unfortunately includes Yankees. I fucking hate California at this point. When Mexicans finally replace all the white liberals in California, it will be great improvement.

Weird that people still watch that crap, much less import it.

[Hastur]

Funny thing about Sweden. For some reason we think we are normal and reasonable. That other nations should look at us a the voice of reason.
In fact we are one of the most extreme countries in the world.

[Speaker to Animals]

Look at Poland. The master race right there.

Respect to Croatia too.

It's even weirder that they think this represents our nation. When they think of America, they think of what Hollywood and our MSM tells them it is.

Saving a dollar or two on a ticket at the theater has alot to do with that, I think. Can't fault Hollywood for having a good distribution network or however they keep ticket prices so low.

Europe used to make demonstrably better films, though. I mean.. Spaghetti Westerns were better than our westerns by a country mile.
