I live in California. I’ve been to Alabama, Portugal, and Latvia (just this year for the Baltics, great places). I disagree.
Parts of the deep south are just fucking alien in a way I’ve never felt anywhere else.
Different places in Europe are, of course, different. But different in a way you can wrap your head around with an undercurrent of commonality. The same things being done in interestingly different ways by normal people.
The sense of dislocation and strangeness I feel in certain (not all) places in the deep south is far beyond anything I’ve experienced, not just in Europe, but also Asia, South America, and North Africa.
It isn’t bullshit. I don’t what else to tell you. 50 states, each with their own cultures and dialects. If you don’t want to believe it, that’s your business, but that’s the way it is.
I can’t even be bothered arguing. Your level of stupid has been proven time and again to be immune to facts and reason. It’s very obvious you’ve never been to either of those fucking countries though otherwise you wouldn’t say what you did.
If you say so. Doesn’t help that you jumped straight to calling me stupid for trying to tell you how it is. You don’t bother arguing because you don’t know what you’re talking about to begin with. Go back to reddit. You fit in better there.
Naw, that’s more like LA vs SF when talking about Californians. Different beliefs, social behavior, dialects, history, architecture, etc.
You guys really need to get away from lumping Americans in the same bin in conversation. The US is huge and covers more diverse cultures in a single state than most people understand. We’re friends with Europeans, regardless of what country you’re from. We love you guys! Stop falling victim to propaganda and remember that we are allies.
Kinda like when people lump California and Alabama together when talking about Americans. Annoying, isn’t it?
The differences between California and Alabama are still an order of magnitude or more smaller than between e.g. Portugal and Latvia.

All you just told me is that you haven’t been to either. You couldn’t be more wrong.
This is classic r/ShitAmericansSay
lol at the UK tag while talking shit
I’m not making any bullshit claims about my country. You are.

You aren’t arguing. You’re just saying “nuh uh” and “ur stupid”. Well, you got me! I am stupid. Sorry for bothering you.
Cool. So you resort to insults and unsupported denial as your strongest arguments. You got me! I am stupid. Sorry for bothering you.

Not really, that would be more like lumping the states Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein together when talking about Germans.
