I have more of an outsider's view on America and from what I saw there is definitely not one cohesive social identity. Not denying there are several strong regional ones (southern, midwest, urban soy bugmen, etc) but nothing that unifies every American from coast to coast. Better than Canadians, mind you, but that's not saying much.
We haven't really had one since the 60's did the hard work of dismantling it in the name of equality.

The American Dream got murdered by Hippies like a movie starlet around a Manson girl.
 
Why is it everytime an individual starts to become more openly "based" or not woke we immediately get bombarded with "ZOMG they're literally a snake in the grass they're grifting!!!11!!" I understand skepticism but using this every single time (for example) DeSantis proposes an anti-trans kids bill or Tucker starts talking about the World Economic Forum on national television is the exact same demoralization tactic as "every right wing protest glows."

Isn't the justification that no American is willing to shit jobs like mow lawns for $5/hr?
Why would anyone do drugs when they could just mow a lawn?

I'd gladly mow someone's yard for a twenty.

I'd be lying if I said that 1950's America doesn't pop into my head when I think "common American identity," but yeah, that seems to be long gone.

The generic American identity is so ingrained in the whole world that slopes in Thailand will ask for their "one phone call" when they get arrested. 🙄
It's just pop culture though, usually based on a fictionalized portrayal of America as seen by some liberal Hollywood cokeheads. I grew up on those movies in the 80s and 90s, but outside of some swear words and references, not much about American identity comes across.

Go back to reddit faggot.
But all my karma is here.
 
The word Nation linguistically refers to the same thing as ethnicity, "Civic Nationalism" is a very recent concept.
I don't know about that. It's arguably been a thing since at least the American and French Revolutions, and you can argue that the Roman Republics emphasis on adopting Roman values and commitment to Republican ideals are fairly equivalent to our modern conceptions of civic nationalism
 
For those saying look at California as an example of hispanic democratic power.....


The only hispanic is the insurance comissioner.
That's because CA politics are dominated by the Bay Area, which means upper-class whites and their dark-skinned pets. Now, that San Fran machine is run by one Nancy Pelosi, and I don't think there's a replacement waiting in the wings. Newsom is going to get termed out, and without his aunt-by-marriage's patronage he won't be going somewhere where he can keep that power, and Maxine Waters is going to start insisting its her turn to take the lead. Meanwhile the Hispanic machine that's in LA and extends through OC down to San Diego and has been actively sidelined so the Bay Area can maintain power is going to start agitating and making their moves once they see an opening.
Since I posted this Elon has tweeted the following -

Elon what's your Farms account bro, DM me I have ideas.
You know what, that makes perfect sense as to why Elon would buy out Twitter.
>Want to help mankind get to Mars.
>See social justice eroding the critical thinking skills and eliminating the qualified engineers and scientists that would be necessary to get there.
>Identify Twitter as main source of the brain rot.
>Buy Twitter to start undoing brain rot.

Fuck, why didn't I think of that explanation. Its so simple.
If Elon has a KF account, the very first thing he should do is DM Null and pay him 6 million dollars for his idea to make Twitter profitable.
He should donate $1,784,545.83, or the equivalent of six million Israeli shekels.
(Yes, their currency actually is the shekel. The more things change, the more things stay the same.)
What is it with authoritarian regimes having a knack for shitposting? Do they just not give a fuck, unlike the West's priggish self-righteousness?
They really don't give a fuck. When your claim to power is "I'm in charge because all these loyal, well-armed men say I am", any sort of pretensions are just hypocritical and undermine your own authority instead of reinforcing it.
 
Soon twenty won't be enough to fill up a lawnmower, especially if you use premium. Are those old manual push mowers still a thing, anyone makes them?

You can still find them at pawn shops now and then. Probably need some TLC though.

Just buy some goats or geese or somethin lol.

Edit: Or better yet! Buy some alpacas from the tranch.

Because well in general they answer to no one but in particular.

They don't have to answer to wine moms and soccer moms and eggless middle aged hags hitting the wall and bleeding hearts for "mean tweets" since they already got the next election rigged anyway for a win or just don't have any issues putting them in the ground if they get questioned by anyone generally and don't like taking shit from anyone. Since that is their nature unlike America where politicians in general answer to the voters and have to somewhat to some extent care about their retarded "fee fees" like Obama wearing that damn tan suit or Trump liking good pussy.
 
I had to sit through a Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity meeting last week. It was about as fun as you'd expect. The DIE presenter referred to Joe Biden as "our national leader." Both the amateur philologist and the poli sci major within me wanted to scream.

Constitutionally, there's no such thing as a "national leader." There's a President, who has defined powers over the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, but he has no power to "lead" the nation. He can exhort, harangue, and babble all he wants, but he leads private citizens not at all.

I still think it's hilariously random that fucking Monkeypox, of all things, is the new virus scare.

Also what is it with these animal viruses? Birdflu, Swineflu, now this.
Humans don't have innate immunity to zoonotic viruses. Remember all the Martians dying at the end of War of the Worlds? They died of humanflu.

Countries that have a cohesive social and ethnic identity also have a history that goes back at least 1000 years.
Our nation's history goes back much further than 1000 years. Our history didn't begin in 1776. We came from the 13 colonies. Who were they the colonies of? What language do we speak? What legal system predominates? What religion is the most popular?

Why the FUCK is this phenomena like exclusive to generally white western females?
White liberals have negative ingroup preference. I think they're the only large group known to exhibit this trait. Abortion is their chance to kill a member of their group and get away with it.

Yes yes, England is the empty husk that America came from, I'm aware. But then everyone else showed up too.
