Do you find it annoying how American political correctness tends to get imported to the rest of the world?

[Rudolf's Friend]

I wouldn't really call it American, i'd call it jewish if anything

 

[FatalTater]

America really is the Roman Empire 2.0, huh.

 

[RybenZ999]

We have BLM chapters all over the country.

Is it mostly just zoomers who forget they're brits or has this metastasized to the point that this is consistent across all age groups?

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

As an American, yes, I find it both annoying and hypocritical. The purveyors decry colonization while engaging in the same kind of cultural erasure that they claim the colonists engaged in. The time is different, the argument is the same.

 

[SpergioLeonne]

Everything is the Roman Empire. Lord of the Rings was the Roman Empire. I know people like to think of it as world war 2, but try out the thought experiment of seeing Gondor and Rohan as Germanic tribes and Sauron as an amalgamation of lead-brained emperors. Oh, and the hobbits are Celts, so at the end Frodo fucks back off to Ireland or maybe even the Americas.

Anyways, point being that Rome, in a Jungian sense, exists in our collective conscious as an archetype. It sort of conditions us to accept that it MUST collapse.

They mostly seem to be under thirty. Older blacks resent the importation of BLM shit (and black american culture in general), as it overshadows their own grievances and has created a social disjunct. Young blacks are acting like unruly niggers. Literally had an old fella tell me this.

There are people who were unable to visit relatives due to the virus and then there are these twitter brain addled retards importing nigger lives matter bullcrap that none of them even gave a rat's ass about until somebody shone a light on America's police brutality issues and suddenly these nitwits act like they've always cared about this stiff

Areas that the Romans conquered ended up taking on Roman ways, whether by accident or design.
I remember what a big deal it was when McDonalds opened in Russia and China.
Is that sort of thing still exciting to anyone?

 

[Dojima's Dragon]

Noticed it mostly on my countrys subreddit where people complain about how racism is a problem ( despite being a functional country with people of all colors ) or how certain groups of arab women arent well liked ( even though theres usually good reasons for that ),the country also has hate speech laws meaning you can get fined for 136,156$ because you said nigger on twitter.

 

[Angry Alt Right Nerd]

Not America's fault lesser countries are weak willed and easily influenced. Also ironic that the types of people who are like this tend to hate America and think it's a shithole based on what they read on the internet. Also for a non-political correctness example, I've seen a lot of cases where someone on the internet asks a silicon valley subreddit for advice on their aspiring tech career and only later do we find out they live in some third world shithole and none of the advice would apply to them.

 

[Car Won't Crank]

Not strictly related to OP, but still very much in the same vein.

The heavy importing of US culture in Norway is making Norwegians illiterate. Not to go too deep into linguistics, but we have different sounds that to an English speaker might sound the same, but are readily distinguishable by many people in continental Europe, not just in Norway. Those two sounds are the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative (marked by ɕ) and voiceless postalveolar fricative (marked by ʃ). You can hear audio samples in the links, although they are a bit poor in quality. In summary:

• ʃ is the sound in 'sheep' in English.
• ɕ is not spoken in English, except a few small dialectical regions, which is the sound in words like 'kjekk' in Norwegian, or 'Hiroshima' in Japanese.

Because of how much US media Norwegian kids are exposed to, kids are simply starting to not notice the difference, since English speakers use only the ʃ sound. This results in them saying words like 'Kina' or 'kino' using the ʃ sound when you are supposed to say it with the ɕ sound. US culture is making our people illiterate, but of course I also blame parents for not correcting their kids when they cannot pronounce words correctly.

Does that mean the kids aren't learning Nynorsk and Bokmal? Are those losing importance too?

 

[I'm Really Feeling It]

My mother once went to visit an aunt of hers who resides in Australia, and during her stay said the word "negroes". Her aunt was gobsmacked and instantly shushed her, explaining with fervour how that's a no-no word and to never say it again. Was a "fun" display of the US's export of political correctness.

Like pretty much everywhere else in Europe, English is worming its way into everyday parlance in between native speech or replacing native speech altogether. How bad it is really I don't know, but the erosion is most definitely not trivial. For instance, I was sitting on the coach some days ago and there were these two women sitting behind me, who were around 40-50 years old, so not exactly a generation raised on the Internet. Despite that, I was still struck by how much English they incorporated into their Norwegian. Instead of using Norwegian expressions of exasperation, they said "oh my" and "oh my God". They also used some other words I cannot remember, but it still was surprising to me how these middle-aged women were talking almost exactly like many of my peers in high school a decade ago.

I also remember a few years ago when there was this one young man talking about how he was writing a fantasy novel. He explained how he wrote it in English. When asked why English instead of Norwegian, he just replied bluntly with, "Because there's more words in English. With Norwegian it's quite limited." It was interesting to hear that statement. In my experience, I think a big part of what drives that mentality in his case, which is not the first of its kind, is that schools do a shit job at making literature compelling for boys. This is not exactly a problem unique to Norway, but I have been forced to read some extremely boring as fuck writing in school written by women for women and girls. It's not a wonder to me why boys turn away from Norwegian female books and turn to English comic books or more action-packed novels.

Anyway, to answer your question at least partially: the native language is definitely eroding bit by bit. It's also not helped by the fact that in cities there are many swarthy niggers incapable of speaking their host nation's language correctly, and their malformed gibberish is impacting how native teenagers speak as well. It's many different factors at the same time, but I would say that the import of US culture is the biggest one out of all.

 

[Kankichi Ryotsu]

Yes. Blackface was never offensive here but now zoomers are complaining about something that's specifically American. It's stupid as hell.

Did it start with this?

Too bad. I remember the first time I saw blackface done on some German TV show and I lost my shit laughing that you could do that there.

That's depressing. I rather like knowing other languages but, especially in Europe it is hard to find a native speaker that won't try to switch to English on me. Like cunts, I am in your country, speak your own goddamn language that I spent years of my life learning for this retarded moment.

To be honest I wouldn't even blame them. No offense but Norwegian literature doesn't really fill the Western canon. You got Hamsun and nobody really else up to the highest caliber, and Ibsen doesn't count because he wrote in Danish. Imo, European lit has been dead since Bernhard died, and culture abhors a vacuum.

 

[ShooterOfCum]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that Norwegian culture is vacuous. When Norwegians talk about 17th May, the constitution day, the only thing they care about are the sausages, soft drinks, and bunad. The sausages taste like shit, by the way. Norwegian cuisine is shit and Norwegians refuse to try anything that isn't a hamburger, pizza, sushi, or tacos. I shit you not, one time, when I asked in high school what Norwegian culture even was, one girl just said "bunad," with nothing else after that.

There is no talk about the gun culture we had, like actually many other European countries have had before. Many retards do not understand that the main reason why Sweden did not invade us after declaring independence is specifically because Norwegian men were armed to the teeth. Not only that, they were skilled sharpshooters. Going to the shooting range was a national activity, where men proudly displayed their marksmanship and competed for the best shots. That was Norway; a big part of our identity.

Now, walking around with firearms in public is illegal. If I want to take one of my rifles to hunt and walk with it outside of my property, I have to conceal it in a bag. Police resources are wasted on frivolous calls from people saying they heard gunshots. SWAT teams rush out to the forest, only to find, as you would expect, a hunter on hunting grounds legally shooting at game. This used to not be the case. People would not readily freak out at hearing gunshots coming from a forest.

Our hunting instructor also told us how, at rural schools, he can still take functional firearms with him to school for demonstration purposes. The kids love it, of course, and they get to learn about the basics of firearm safety, which they should. However, if he wants to do the same demonstration at a school in one of the bigger cities, he gets permission from police only if he uses disabled firearms. That is, firearms which are rendered inoperable by the police and have their muzzle painted orange. This is because retards in Norway listen to fearmongering shitpieces from US media about how guns are really scary, and they are used to shoot up schools in USA. Retards really fear that the same will happen in our country, when it hasn't happened and continues to not happen. Still, US culture continues to be imported, including mass shooting hysteria. It's absolutely crazy.

 

[Thiletonomics]

The annoying part about that, is when other English-speaking countries (namely Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland), take the same PCness, and try way too hard to one-up the US, as a way to "be superior".

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Some years back, Harry Connick Jr had a meltdown over a comedy act on an Australian variety show.
The host ended up giving him a grovelling apology but no-one else gave two fucks what some American entertainer thought.
