No culture but the culture pushed on you by gigantic companies trying to sell you merch. Superman v Batman is exactly the same as traditions that have been evolving naturally for thousands of years. Buying a Spiderman backpack is equivalent to knocking on wood or leaving a shot of vodka out in the woods for the leshiy. In Ant Man’s name, amen.
Are we just pretending America doesn’t have folk tales lol

Idk how you could write that tweet and not at least see that part
Even after living in this goddamn country for 30 years I still couldn’t tell you what american culture actually is outside of rampant consumerism and pervasive poverty that’s been hyper normalized. This shit is a potemkin village with highways and traffic jams.
Anything good about American culture originated in black communities and then was appropriated and commodified
This is blatanly false, a bunch of it was stolen from native americans too.
hmmmmm i feel like there has to be some actual mythology from the early people who lived in north america, i wonder what happened to them?
American culture is the first to be fully developed under capitalism rather than before. No wonder it is devoid of humanity.
