I do understand regional differences, that is my whole fucking post. The US has multiple regions and cultures within it, same as Europe. And its ignorant of Europeans to assume they are unique in this.
But the next time your country is taken over by Germany or some other invading force, maybe if you put effort in, you will be fine.
You should never have gotten rid of Napoleon.

@Aeris1812 @NotmeDiscover @NotEliite great so there’s no reason for you to not understand regional differences and think they are comparable to countries sovereignty and own history

A Canadian saying this is wild. Genuinely 95% of your nation’s entire history can be accurately summed up as “DESPERATELY trying and constantly failing to be seen as anything more than the United States resource tile”. You can’t call us boring when “diet America” is your nation’s legacy.

Why do Americans get so butthurt about the fact that, outside of natural beauty, America is a pretty uninteresting cultural experience. If you’ve seen one American city you basically have experienced all America has to offer.

@CDS_1980_ @abcdentminded @QuellodellaP2 He's wrong, but barely. In our day to day lives different states may as well be different countries, but they aren't sovereign.

@abcdentminded @QuellodellaP2 My favorite was when they were forced to admit that a masonry bit was beyond their comprehension.
English
@QuellodellaP2 It started with the heat wave stuff but after that loss they're starting skirmishes over whatever they can. They could win some of them under better circumstances but they're all too rattled now and keep getting dogwalked again and again

@lamont1940 @sageclipsed @Andr3jH The same could be said for Rural vs City almost anywhere. Other than having to learn English Bavarians would have an easier time in Montana than Chicagoans. Other than learning German the biggest hangup for a Montanan in Bavaria would be not constantly having a gun on them.
English
@sageclipsed @TheRedImperium @Andr3jH I picked Montana and Chicago on purpose as ones a huge city and one is mainly rural. But the reality is rural Illinois or rural Indiana is probably alot like Montana than Chicago.

You'll find more cultural diversity on a 20 km trip across the border between Switzerland and Austria than between New England and Texas. The idea that Americans are more well traveled because you can drive 100 miles between gas stations in a desert is a massive cope.

The average American is vastly more well traveled in distance, geographical, weather/climate, and cultural differences within the borders of the United States than the average European The average European literally can not comprehend North America

The first 2 are the same. We've already said they share the English language so they become irrelevant to your case.
Education systems between states were standardized about 50 years ago. There are still some significant differences but the only reason they are mostly the same is the federal government forces them to be.
Media is actually different between states, although mass media is mostly dominated by Hollywood but this applies to most of the planet. Again different local shows, radio, music do exist between the two.
If you think anyone born and raised in Chicago is going to have no problem fitting in with and participating in the lifestyle of Montanans then you clearly have no concept of American culture.

@TheRedImperium @lamont1940 @Andr3jH — a fundamentally different national culture with no issues whatsoever

@HistoricLines @icarusthecow @candymandarins It does kind of have some subtle notes of North Dakota. Very strange for someone who has lived in Lansing/Grand Rapids their entire life.

@TheRedImperium @icarusthecow @candymandarins Maybe she made it up from what she remembered of "Fargo"

This is NOT what the accent map of the US looks like omg
roman 𓃦💴@foxfurrest
what accent? you guys get in americans for thinking brits all have the same accent
English
@sageclipsed @lamont1940 @Andr3jH Political climate, laws, cuisine, wildly different accents, general day to day lifestyle, dress, music, the volume at which they speak in public, mannerisms, tolerance for seeing someone carry a firearm in public to name a few.
English
@TheRedImperium @lamont1940 @Andr3jH ... Well no. Tell me what they have that's like the polar opposite from one another because I have been seeing you say all that yet not a single one of you has ever said what exactly is so different that's comparable to the difference between Poland and Germany
English
@icarusthecow @HistoricLines @candymandarins Tbf I'm not even sure where Gretchen Whitmer's accent comes from, I think she's kind of manufactured it. I grew up in the same immediate vicinity and know no one who sounds quite like her.
English
@HistoricLines @TheRedImperium @candymandarins thats... literally what I'm saying, and no gretchen whitmer does not sound like she's from wisconsin.
English
@sageclipsed @lamont1940 @Andr3jH It's easier to list what they have in common:
The USD.
The English Language.
They're both part of the US.
That's essentially it.

Europeans have this odd desire to be the most special and interesting all the time and it pushes them to make ridiculous comparisons like in this post where America is treated a single large culture for the purpose of making Europeans feel more travelled.

Yes Germany has a federal system, although their federal government is actually significantly more powerful than ours. We barely crossed the line from confederal to federal, and it is entirely reasonable to compare a federal and confederal government. Things don't need to be identical to be similar.
English
@TheRedImperium @SimonJester2076 @lamont1940 @Andr3jH But they are not so I am not willing to admit that. We are not a political unit in any way similar to the United States with it’s federal system. The best comparison you could make is the United States and Germany.
English
@lamont1940 @Andr3jH Just wait until you find out how far Chicago is from Montana. They are in fact VERY different.
English
If you drive 300 miles anywhere in the world it’s going to be different. some Americans are underestimating how different Europe is due to size. Take Greece for instance. Border’s two predominantly muslim countries in Albania and Turkey, 3 countries that have different cultures, language, history and architecture.
English
Well given that you've failed multiple times to engage my argument in a way that actually disagrees with what I'm saying I'm not left with much choice.
Let's restate this simply to allow you to engage:
The EU is a CONfederal government.
The US is a Federal governmemt.
The structures are overall SIMILAR but not the same. The EU in many ways is like the original attempt at building the United States, and suffers many of the same issues. That's how we got to the point of developing our federal system, that is still overall similar to (but not the same as) the EU's confederal system.
English
@TheRedImperium @SimonJester2076 @lamont1940 @Andr3jH Right, when losing your argument accuse your opponent of using AI instead of engaging. Well done!
English
@HistoricLines @icarusthecow @candymandarins I would say the Yooper accent is similar to Wisconsin's accent. Most of Michigan sounds nothing like most of Wisconsin.
English
@TheRedImperium @icarusthecow @candymandarins Wisconsin and Michigan have identical accents. Ohio seems to have a dry, plain accent.
English
@yupc3kx @SimonJester2076 @lamont1940 @Andr3jH Now you're down to having ChatGPT make your case for you?
English
@yupc3kx @SimonJester2076 @lamont1940 @Andr3jH They aren't the same thing, and I never claimed they were. They are more similar than you seem to be willing to admit though.
English
@TheRedImperium @SimonJester2076 @lamont1940 @Andr3jH Prosecution’s tolerance for weed related offenses is only possible because the federal government tolerates it. In the EU, several countries routinely contest the EU’s power and block it’s capacity for action with vetoes. There’s nothing of this sort in the US. It’s incomparable
English
@yupc3kx @SimonJester2076 @lamont1940 @Andr3jH You haven't actually said anything that contradicts my statement btw. The EU is more confederal than the US. It still has a similar centralized influence, just not quite as powerful. That's literally the difference between our system and a confederation...
English
@TheRedImperium @SimonJester2076 @lamont1940 @Andr3jH US states are constitutionally entrenched political units with reserved powers under the 10th Amendment. EU member states are sovereign nations under international law. When the UK decided to leave the EU, it could. When Texas threatens to leave the US, it’s called insurrection.
English
Accents tend to flow from region to region rather than having a hard border. Any particular area's accent will be heavily influenced by the accents of neighboring states. Ohio has a little more of a (light) new england influence and Indiana gets a bit more of a southern influence, but both are more similar to MI's accent than MI's is to NY and WI.
English
@TheRedImperium @icarusthecow @candymandarins I think Indiana and Ohio has an accent different from Michigan and Wisconsin.
