Minecraft is mostly popular with people who were 5 - 12 years old 10 years ago.

Foreigners might not get this post's reason for existing, but with some people it really does feel like we're supposed to rebuke everything we see on a day to day basis and sometimes everyone we see, or else we're no better than Maga MacDougall who actively donates to AIPAC over here. Sometimes an exception is made for Black culture, but it's usually a shallow one that unravels the minute they have to elaborate on their dislike for American culture. "Americans should be more cultured" is an okay criticism but a lot of people who say that aren't satisfied unless we come to the conclusion that everything about our home is bad.

And I have never found an elaboration on "America has no culture" that wasn't steeped in some combination of appeals to a pure and ideal past, ignorance of how migration shapes every culture, classism, and sometimes even racism. As far as I'm concerned, you're a statue PFP if you say this.

Japan is probably the next biggest cultural exporter after the US and isn't that much bigger than Germany or Norway.

Who's going to stop you?

Anyway, US politics affects the whole world. I hate a lot of the commentary coming from particular regions (Western Europe, Australia, Canada) but it still affects them.

I'm a zoomed so I can confirm you completely failed to bring up any media relevant to Gen Z, and Star Trek TOS and Ali are closer than Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Bond.

There's definitely a relationship between the marginalization of dark skinned people (men and women) and the view of dark skinned people as more masculine (therefore more dangerous.)

I'll be the first person to explain how the math on third party candidates doesn't work out, but I'm really not into this "blocking them from the ballot" thing. Whether it's the Dems with Cornell West and the Green Party or the Republicans with the Libertarians and RFK Jr.

"Cwm"

One of a few words that use W as a vowel. (This is how the word "Pwn" works too)

Fascists provide easy (but often fake) answers to hard problems. Loneliness, the fear of replacement, that kind of thing.
