Is there such thing as an American people?

View attachment 2144250
Self-identified "Americans," on the Census, correspond largely to White Southerners, who in turn are primarily a mixture, culturally speaking, of Southern English aristocrats and their indentured servants and Northern English/Scots-Irish yeomen.

In a more general sense, "Americans" are split along various regional faultlines. In colonial times, the main four corresponded loosely to New England, the Middle Colonies, the South, and the Appalachian Backcountry, with origins in the Southern English bourgeoisie, the Midlanders, the Southern English aristocracy, and the Northern English/Scots-Irish respectively. The West Coast and coastal Great Lakes emerged largely as a result of New England expansion, the interior West and the non-coastal Great Lakes as a result of Middle Colonies expansion.

Oftentimes American regions have had more in common with adjacent Canadian provinces than with other Americans, like Portland feeling more at home with Vancouver than with Birmingham, or Boston being more like Halifax than like Tucson.

Ultimately, there are some four root Anglo-American cultures and two additional cultures derived from those, if we want to simplify to the greatest degree. Each sees itself as the truest form of America and the others as heresy.

So what group of English people is the Pacific region derived from?

So what group of English people is the Pacific region derived from?

New Englanders to the coast via ships, Midwest and Upper South to the interior via trails. The coast and the interior developed different cultures very early on, perhaps not materially or in language patterns, but in terms of values and behaviors. By that point direct immigration from Britain was no longer steering the culture, it was a third generation of divergence. While not Pacific, though, the “English” presence in Utah reflects both the New England background of a large chunk of early Mormons as well as heavy English conversion (and subsequent immigration) to Mormonism.

Both were augmented by massive European immigration, particularly Germans.

There is absolutely an American culture, yes. Culture is often a product of your environment. Location matters far more than race or creed when it comes to how you think and feel.

Americans value personal liberty, freedom, drugs, rock and roll. We are more conservative than Europe and more liberal than the Middle East. We love big tits like Japan, but we also pretend like showing big tits is indecent to preserve children. We hate criminals and love to execute them.

America is so wildly unique. It really annoys me when people lump us in with "white people" or "the West". We are better than every single European country, including Canada and Austrslia because fuck them they aren't special enough to count as non-European.

Politicians talk a lot about so and so 'betraying the will of the American people". But what could the "American people" possibly be, aside from anyone with a US citizenship? Is there such thing as an "American" culture or ethnicity, or is it just something anyone can claim with the right paperwork? Discuss below.

This is something only people who have never lived outside the country think or say. There is nothing that will hit you harder with the fact that you are an American with your own culture than living outside of it.

Australia is also fake and doesn't exist. Plus they're both still cucks to the queen

For the people who see United States from the outside, yes, there's definitely an "American" idiosyncrasy as a whole. Even if the country itself is a cesspool of immigrants, every person born and raised in the US has one thing in common: they love to brag and bitch about how "mixed" and "ethnic" they are. So, you have the average middle-class cunt who tells you "I'm 8% Chinese, 67% Irish, 27% Nigerian, 35% Peruvian" etc., etc. Even though they don't speak a fucking second language and they will never know what is like to live in any of those shitty countries.
But to us, to the sad fuckers who are force-fed that false belief of diversity shit, you're still the same thing: fucking Americans.

Americans don't want there to be an American people. They're too busy getting their DNA tested on 23&Me to see what shit hole country their 10th great grandfather came from to give a fuck about all the nice things they have now. It's all about the victimhood and martyrdom.

I agree. They cry about cultural appropriation but, in a way, that's exactly what they do.
