It’s not a real thang. The difference between, say, Norway and America is as big as the difference between Murica and China.

In other ways, America is closer to China than Norway.
There is no western culture. It is a fucking sham.
Just look at Hollywood. The Chinese working class and the working class in the global south love it. Meanwhile Hollywood is dead in Europe because they can’t Relate to it anymore. That should tell you something.
Culture is infinitely more complex and layered than the stupid East west shit. Fuck.

"Western culture" is a racist construct where some loser draws a big squiggly line around all the bits and pieces of culture that've been used to construct their country's origin myth and pretends that's a monolith instead of a bunch of cherrypicked nonsense from a bunch of unrelated peoples who either hated each other or didn't live at the same time.
