I love when they feel the need to clarify apple cider, as opposed to all the other famous kinds of cider.

Do the guy also love US terrorism and foreign interference? Because that's what people probably take most offence with. There is not a single additional nation on this planet that has couped to many democratically elected governments and replaced them with corrupt authoritarians that are more than willing to oppress and torture their people and cause civil wars and sell out their nation's interest to US interests in exchange for power. The US is sole world leader in evil and hase been for over a hundred years, only briefly eclipsed by individuals like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Kissinger.
Because as someone who is "deeply critical" of US his government and military, he really seems like jeans and jack o'lanterns have any weight when people call the globally most hated nation on earth a barbaric terrorist shithole.
And let's not even start counting warcrimes or threats of acts of war towards their "allies".
Fun fact: ask people to name three governments the US has couped. See what happens. Just three.
Apparently USA culture also includes never using punctuation, correct spelling, or intelligent spacing.
I think the problem is more that many Americans are very focused on their own culture to the exclusion of every other culture and in a sense love these things more because they are theirs and they grew up with them than out of an honest appreciation after comparing it with alternatives.
I think it's more a complaint about the people not being cultured in general than it is a complaint about the country not having a culture (also, a bunch of the things mentioned aren't culture but whatever).
A LOT of things in that list aren't originally American, or even commonly American. And quite a few others aren't "culture".
My favorite is probably "Victorian houses". Where did Victoria live again?
One of the most dominant "culture" in the US, is they can't take any bit of criticism.
Confirmed time and again with threads like this.
We didn't say you don't have culture, we said you were uncultured ๐ ๐
It obviously has culture, but most things listed aren't culture... Or is that the 'joke'?
Apparently spelling 'you' completely isn't on the list. Yay for indolence.
American definitely has a culture. And most of it is shit. Keep that idiocy away.
USA culture will be forgotten when the present empire falls. How much Prussian/ German culture do you consume? Prussia was considered a high watermark for culture, but nobody seems to care about it anymore. And y'know? Good. Because countries who are violent, imperial, oppressive? Their culture deserves to be forgotten.
