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

[Lemmingwiser]

Media dominance is very powerful. Recently some dutch politicians were complaining that dutch parliament was going to decide to take unconstitutional actions.

In the US this is possible. But the Dutch legal system isn't built on common law and precedence, but on civil law, the french legal system (which derives from the roman legal system instead of the norman legal system of anglos). In this system, one of the roles of parliament is to interpret the constitution and any action or path they choose is constitutional by definition.

And this is in addition to the fact that our constitution is a lot vaguer than for example the US constitution.

Yes it's annoying but inevitable. You go back 70 years and these ideas were coming from france, you go back 90 years and they were coming from germany with the frankfurt school.

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.

I dunno, there is something so based and makes my heart melt as an Americant to read this. We only want you to be armed in Eurocuck countries. So tired of reading of demoralized Euros. Can't explain it. Keep going, faggot. Fuck them.

 

[Ultrapenguin]

Yes it is annoying. It isn't just political correctness either, I'm fairly convinced that the reason Japan is having so many issues is because of transplanted American values that came in after WWII.

US values are fucking up the US too, but the country at least has some kind of developed cultural backbone to deal with it if it originated here. A lot of these other countries don't and so they're getting shafted.

Either way, the point is that it's fucking gay in the US, and it's even gayer when it's exported. I doubt whipping all these countries benefits the average middle class American either, so hopefully they're able to get out from under the thumb of globohomo.

 

[The Ugly One]

As fake and gay as American culture is now, European militaries are even faker and gayer. Europeans love to whine about how America pushes them around, but at the end of the day, they'd rather suck each other's cocks and import millions of niggers so that the American priestly caste will bestow blessings on them than live independently.

 

[DDR Yoga]

It's not really American values. It's a foetid stinking mix of Anglo individualism, pathological White altruism, Jewish perversion and Zoglodyte imperialism.

 

[cybertoaster]

I'm frankly surprised our media its even allowed in other countries.

Like for example the transformers movies were basically a GM ad with US military propaganda shoved in, if any other country exported this they would be mocked for it, but for some reason foreigners make an exception for American-produced crap.

I mean, sure it would look bad if a country outright banned our media, specially other western countries, but most of this crap its paid, nobody is putting a gun to your head to watch the sewer sludge coming out of hollywood these days, and yet you do and pay for the "benefit". Stop paying for it and it'll stop.

Same with the internet crap, nobody is forcing you to interact with the mental bottom of the barrel of our population. When the fentanyl riots happened I expected most Europeans to either ignore or mock us as usual, not join in the madness.

On the other hand I seen euro news channels talking about any little shit happening over here, even stuff that doesn't affect any European country in the slightest. But you can also choose to change the channel when that happens, or give them a call and tell them to stop covering yank crap.

@cybertoaster When the footballers started taking the knee in England for the first time, that very week, a diversity man went on a knife rampage in a London park killing 3 whites. Hours later, our glorious sports heroes were in the fellatio position for the poor blacks. Big George the American was more important than the 3 dead London honkies.

 

[Hinttitroniikka]

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."

I remember some interview with Ville Valo that used to drive me nuts because he claimed you couldn't rhyme and do lyrical things in Finnish. Look, just because you think everything you've personally seen in Finnish was done poorly doesn't mean the language itself prevents everyone else from doing it well. Just admit you use English because you want to be popular with Americans. That at least makes you sound like a smartish businessman.

I mention it because Finnish social media justice warriors make the same claim. "We have to refer to our relationship to the Sami as kolonialismi because there's no native Finnish word for that, which is evidence of Finnish racism." Or, "I can't use Finnish to discuss sex/gender because it's the same word in Finnish and therefore this is Finnish sexism." The reality, of course, is that the Sami relationship is different to colonialism, and to describe the varying ideas of sex/gender, you'd need to use more than one word, and actually flesh your ideas out.

These are just examples, I don't give a shit about these topics or muh woke politics or whatever specific thing. The point is that these people haven't understood and internalised the concepts enough to know that their native language is in fact capable of expressing them, because they just copy what they read from their one source. Whatever your stance or politics are, I think that mindless repetition and narrow sourcing are the real degeneracy.

 

[Linako 2.0]

not political correctness but I keep noticing spic twitter using english words for things and concepts that already have a word for in Spanish.
Even very common words are now replaced with English words and written in English which doesn't make sense if read phonetically in taco speak.

You'd be amazed by how many people use US as the reason why there should be ever-stricter laws over here about guns. It also doesn't help that practically every time a gun law that promises things to be made stricter gets passed almost automatically because it's either driven by some EU bigwig from Brussels or as a response to some bullshit outliner incident. Over here in Finland, at the start of the 2010s I could go to any army surplus store and buy as many RK-62 mags as I wanted, but because some Arab bullshit in Paris circa 2015, EU decided to declare that all rifle mags above 20 rounds are to be made as illegal as machineguns for the average pleb. Still, you can own them but you really have to be a circus performer jumping thru the legal hoops and bullshit.

The funniest thing back during the BLM fad was some Somali woman directly copying American bullshit and proclaiming how they built the country when all the Somalis have ever done in Finland is making the Romanis look good by comparison. You also can tell that they can tell that they are too lazy to actually use the Finnish language to it's full extent by directly using a loanword like "kolonialismi" when they should say something like "siirtomaalaisuus".

 

[ShooterOfCum]

We only want you to be armed in Eurocuck countries.

I was actually surprised by how reasonable gun laws were in Norway before I applied for a hunting licence. Basic rundown is that you can own rifles indefinitely without needing to do any charades periodically. The police just might sometimes drop by your house to see if your firearms are stored correctly. Otherwise, you can even store 10,000 cartridges in your house legally, lmao.

It's only pistols that are regulated in a way you would expect, since those are weapons meant for humans. Luckily we didn't succumb to the hysteria against black and evil rifles with many Picattiny rails like legislators have in the USA. Never mind that 80% of gun-related crime is perpetuated with pistols, not rifles. You can get black and evil rifles in Norway for hunting. Many of those around if you browse the Norwegian branch of Brownells.

 

[saddamhussein]

can't wait til the great shift happens in 50 years and we're all making threads entitled "Fellow Citizens & Comrades, do you ever find yourself weary of the excellent and amazing cultural development flowing from the beautiful beacon of prosperity, Beijing?"

I am not a handguns fag. I only have and will own rifles and shotguns for a lot of reasons.

10,000 rounds - a day at the range, heh, but expensive, *cries*.

The police can just drop by for that shit? Sorry.

You'd be amazed by how many people use US as the reason why there should be ever-stricter laws over here about guns.

No I wouldn't. The US constantly uses the US as why we should have guns heavily regulated and banned.

 

[ShooterOfCum]

The police can just drop by for that shit?

Yeah, they can come by announced or unannounced for a periodic inspection. They check for two things.

• That your firearms actually are present at your registered residential address. You cannot store them anywhere else.
• That your firearms are stored in a so-called "FG-compliant" safe, either the whole gun or a vital part of the gun, such as the receiver or shotgun grip. Guns also have to be hidden out of plain sight, so you cannot just hang them up on your wall. Ammunition only needs to be stored under padlock, no special requirements beyond that.

It's really nothing unreasonable, especially given today's climate in the west. I found out that it is only just earlier this year that the police (ones in charge of determining which guns are compliant with current legislation) has banned the Ruger Mini 14 for civilian use. That is, the same weapon that Breivik used to murder our kids on Utøya in 2011. You would think that it would be banned immediately in a mass-induced hysteria, but apparently not. Compare this to the Canadian or New Zealand's response to their respective big terror attacks, and I think you'll agree it's not so bad.

Also, my gunsmith, who is a competitive pistol shooter and owns several pistols, says that he hasn't gotten a visit from the police in over two years. You would be surprised by how relaxed the institutions are in regards to firearms, in contrast to the histrionics of the general public.

 

[Blobby's Murder Knife]

I've posted before that I had to special register my Ruger 10/22 because it is a semi-auto. My state also banned high capacity mags. It is all so tiresome.

Any gun banned is one too many. Hope you get to the US sometime. We have ranges where you can shoot fully auto machine guns for funsies.

 

[Lady Bizness]

Yes because back in the day retarded American behavior used to be kept in check at least somewhat by the judgement of what used to be sophisticated Europeans.

 

[Hinttitroniikka]

You also can tell that they can tell that they are too lazy to actually use the Finnish language to it's full extent by directly using a loanword like "kolonialismi" when they should say something like "siirtomaalaisuus".

Another one I've recently seen is "ableismi." I've read texts about disability politics and advocacy from before the social media times, and they got on perfectly well with words like "syrjintä" ("discrimination") and "esteellinen" ("inaccessible"). So when I see words like, "internalisoitu ableismi" I know I can skip right past it, because it will have been lifted from an American social media post and not really have much to do with my local society.

In a way, you could argue there is something colonialist and ableist about insisting on Americanising our speech and thought patterns, but I guess they gotta signal those virtues somehow.

 

[Thiletonomics]

Yes it is annoying. It isn't just political correctness either, I'm fairly convinced that the reason Japan is having so many issues is because of transplanted American values that came in after WWII.

And again, South Korea proves itself to be even worse, given that it's effectively a US state that happens to have Korean people living there. The industrialized aspects of SK's entertainment industry (i.e. K-Pop, E-Sports), also were pushed out from the said American values.

As fake and gay as American culture is now, European militaries are even faker and gayer. Europeans love to whine about how America pushes them around, but at the end of the day, they'd rather suck each other's cocks and import millions of niggers so that the American priestly caste will bestow blessings on them than live independently.

You can add Canada to that list too, as they're also insisting on mass importing Pajeets, and MAID'ing off their own citizens.

 

[The Ugly One]

You'd be amazed by how many people use US as the reason why there should be ever-stricter laws over here about guns.

Norway choking out its own gun culture is a great example of what I was talking about. Basically, some American left-wing academic here comes up with a retarded idea, demands that we do it, and half the country tells them to fuck off. Europeans notice this and go, NOTICE ME SENPAI!!!, and go 110% on whatever retarded idea came out of the American left in the hopes that a Harvard or Yale professor will say, "See? Look how progressive and elite Finland is! How come you stinky Kansas Flyover People can't be more like them?" If American leftists announced that pickled herring is racist and should be banned, Norwegians would start regulating it to try and get asspats from the American establishment.

It's a multiplexed road that led to this, but I think the biggest factor is simply how very badly Europeans were unable to recover from the 2008 mortgage crash. USA correctly went all-in on technology, whereas Europeans don't really know what the fuck to do. Only Poland is in any way competitive in technology, but even then it is only in some ways, not all of them. While Poland might have some big games and certain online services or solutions, there is no dispute that cloud hosting and processing is still a US dominion, which runs the overwhelming majority of the global infrastructure.

It is pretty wild if you think about how much of non-US infrastructure is dependent on US online services and solutions. Many police districts across Europe officially use Xitter to report on criminal incidents. Many government institutions use Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services to run their bureaucratic operations. Offices in practically every government office run Windows, the premier US spyware. They also run Intel, which runs the Management Engine, another black box like Windows that runs on your CPU even if your computer is powered down. Really tells you about how seriously those governments take their nation's security and sovereignty. Either that or they are delusional about how critical technology is in shaping modern society. Either way, Europeans are fucking stupid, and it's no wonder why normies are bombarded from every side by US culture. At this point they are not even aware of it, I would imagine.

Good luck making an alternative to Facebook or Instagram for European normies. European infrastructure does not have the capacity to compete with Azure or AWS. I imagine you also will not last very long if you try to use Azure or AWS to host an alternative to Silicon Valley business. We all know what a fake incestuous economy it is, where Microsoft, Google, and the rest only pretend to compete with each other, but really is all just a mafia racket where CEO ass massage reigns supreme. At this point it is clear that westerners are going to use US services for many years to come while Europeans pull their heads out of their ass ever so slowly.

In conclusion: technology fucking sucks.
