Most cultures stand out but American culture doesn’t because basically everywhere has some sorta American influence.

    Really seems like it’s all become so carefully curated and commoditized that the personality and rough edges and accidents that made any of it noteworthy have been hewn away. American culture is populated by what might as well be walking, talking avatars designed solely to billboard for Disney and Nestle and a few big corporate interests. But, wtf do I know. Maybe I’m just too old for this shit.

      And how much of Renaissance culture is a billboard for the Catholic Church? Culture is commonly used as a tool of the powerful.
