Everything's bigger in rule

Except the population size

Yeah, bigass country yet despite its supposed awesomeness barely anyone wants to live there.

I wouldn’t call 30 million barely anyone

Texas is utterly barren compared to the center of european population density that’s depicted here (ever heard of the blue banana?). I’d say that’s roughly 150 million people.

Who knew, Texas is bigger than Luxembourg

Crazy how nature do that

That’s probably just a perspective trick, there’s no way

I see you’re joking but for anyone curious

Luxemburg: Total Area 2,586.4 km²

Texas: Total Area 695,662 km²

Not really curious, no

Which is crazy since Luxemburg has its own language while Texas is speaking the same as Ireland which is already bigger than Luxemburg

That’s not where Paris, TX is….

So big yet 0 culture besides guns…

and bbq and rodeo and jesus and warm smiles and cold daggers

also all the cultural influence from Mexico, but that doesn’t count I guess

Honestly there’s a surprising amount of good music that comes out of Texas that isnt country

cold daggers

Better than a dagger warmed by body heat, I suppose. Neither carried nor used it has gone cold to await being needed again.

I think the cultural influences from Mexico should count. As far as food goes, Mexican food is some amazing stuff, but the American variations are different, yet amazing in their own rights. Tex-Mex, New Mexican, and Cali-Mex are some of my favorite spins on traditional Mexican food. Plus I think you’re already including Mexican influences with BBQ and rodeo.

yeah there’s a lot of baggage in saying there’s no culture. cuz that also ties into the whiteness discussion. whiteness is the de facto cultural vacuum, the hegemony that eats other cultures, the mainstream, the default. so portraying texas as a cultural vacuum is sort of erasing everything non-white about it.
