Are Brits culturally closer to Americans and Australians and such, or Europeans like Frenchmen and Germans?
Halfway.Also, people always assume that similarities between Britain and America are due to post-WWII Americanisation, rather than the obvious reality of American society's core tenets being derived from a common 17th/18th century British root
>>220844334I don't see how an American and an Englishman could be similar
>>220844334More similar to Europeans it just doesn't seem that way because we both speak English.Americans really are quite different personality wise to europeans on average
>>220844396>people always assume that similarities between Britain and America are due to post-WWII Americanisationi don't think anyone thinks thatif anything you guys apparently get mad when we call you both anglos, both people act like they have nothing to do with each other
>>220844671what about Australians and Canadians?
>>220844761After Kiwis I feel closest to brits by a very large margin compared to americans. Americans can feel very very foreign but to me brits feel the same or siblings just from a more cramped and wet placeI wonder how they feel
>>220844334I know a British guy and his way of talking sounds Scandinavian. When I heard it I was like, man Brits really are European
>>220844982>Americans can feel very very foreignhow so? frankly to me you feel the same
>>220845238Nta but I know what he means. It's weird because so much shitty media from America gets jammed down our throats, but it just doesn't feel like it belongs here a lot of the time. They have a lot of behaviour that basically revolves around, "Look how fucking great I am," and it doesn't really fit with our mindset a lot of the time. Don't get me wrong, they're alright. They're just more different from us than Brits and Canadians are.
>>220844334We're cousins
>>220844638>>220844671>>220844982Brits get made fun of by continental Europeans for being too Americanized. It’s probably the country most similar to America after Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
>>220844334Brits (and Irish) are very similar to us, I think. There's a reason they assimilate as opposed to making these multigenerational hyphenated identities like wogs have
>>220844982An Australian got to play James Bond in the 1960s, I assume that's the highest honour the British can offer to a non-Brit so we're probably pretty gucci with the cousins in the old country
>>220845346>Brits get made fun of by continental Europeans for being too Americanizedsimply falsein fact i think most people don't even realize brits are being americanized since we see it all as anglo saxon culture and not just american culture
I find that England and Netherlands are quite similar.
>>220845139we're definitely a lot louder and prouder than them in public imo. Very New World attitude I find, being more socially boisterous
>>220845415>since we see it all as anglo saxon culture and not just american cultureThat was probably true in the past, but I think the Bush and Trump presidencies created this jingoistic hillbilly ideal of America in the minds of Europeans, which they know is very different from Britain. But after Brexit maybe not.
>>220844334I feel totally alien in a group of Americans and only marginally less so in a group of Europeans. I think we get along rather well with Aussies and Kiwis (probably not coincidentally there's a constant stream of Brits fleeing the sinking ship for those countries).
>>220845561>let me tell you about your countrywe always knew americans are different from the english but both of your cultures are foreign to us and though we can point to things unique to one or another both still fall under one categorysame way you guys think spaniards are basically european mexicans and in every american yt about spain they put fucking mariachi music
>>220845645I know this sounds bad but most of my favourite immigrants I meet are English. And when I say English, I mean English. Not fucking Ranjesh and Abdul.
>>220845293>They have a lot of behaviour that basically revolves around, "Look how fucking great I am,"Why are americans like this?
>>220844334English speaking countries, easy.Better question, who is the Japan of Europe?Who is the India of Europe?
>>220845646>though we can point to things unique to one or another both still fall under one categoryObviously not if the Amerimutt meme is only used for Americans and never for Brits>same way you guys think spaniards are basically european mexicansOnly black people think this. Everybody else can make the distinction because they’re scared of Mexicans but not Spaniards.
>>220844334Many say Anglosphere, but it's actually Europe.Northern France, Belgium, etc are extremely similar in look and feel to Britain.Australia and America are too wealthy and "picture perfect" if that makes sense. Britain very poor by comparison and most genuinely wouldn't be able to fathom the conditions people live in in the US and Australia. But they would in other parts of Europe.
>>220844334(Irish,) Australians, Western euros, Americans
>>220845346their government and media are Americanized, actual British people are world’s away from Americans in terms of personality.
I hate bongs
>>220845817>who is the Japan of Europeaccording to kant, its the englishman. they are proud and leal.
>>220846200>Australia and America are too wealthy and "picture perfect" if that makes sense. Britain very poor by comparisonTbf you'd probably be surprised at how old fashioned some houses in Melbourne look still
>>220844334How are Americans and Australians different from us to begin with?
As a Brit actually living in Australia, most Brits are actually ignorant about Aussie culture and understate our differences.Obviously we're still more familiar to each other than with Americans, but Australians are unique in their own way and it never gets attention because their media presence is so weak internationally>Australian sports culture is nothing like UK sports; Aussies play their own Football and their teams move around and change cities like American ones>Aussies are more social and talk more loudly >Australians do less drugs than Europeans >Aussies are way more casual at work and in dress code, people literally walk barefoot in the middle of the city and even old fashioned firms have less work hierarchy >Australian men are genuinely less horny and more "herbivorous" when it comes to women, English and Irish lads here look and sound like fucking predators on the prowl for women >rural Australians see us as extraterrestrials, anyone who has fantasies about some grand shared Anglo-Celtic cultural consciousness will have a heart attack when they realize how little they know or care about our history and culture >Australians despise anyone who shows weakness but who also is seen as haughty; you have to strike a very fine balance of not being a pushover wimp but also not coming off as a "pompous pom cunt"
>>220844334Kaede needs a good dicking
>>220845801seems our superiority has caused some controversy
>>220848417>English and Irish lads here look and sound like fucking predators on the prowl for womenStop talking like a feminist, there's nothing predatory about seeking consensual sex
>>220848417>people literally walk barefoot in the middle of the citythe fuck?
>>220849280yeah but the Aus women hate it >>220849307Aussie cities are also a lot cleaner than European ones desu. The amount of rubbish I see here is substantially less than anywhere in Europe.But yeah, Australians can't be bothered to put on shoes if it's just a short trip to the supermarket to get something quick, you'll just see people around Aldi with barefeet out
>>220844396It comes from post-WW2 American soft power though. American society was wholly different from that of Britain.
>>220850030>But yeah, Australians can't be bothered to put on shoes if it's just a short trip to the supermarket to get something quick, you'll just see people around Aldi with barefeet outWhat the hell, even the poorest ghettos in the US aren't like this
>>220845817>Israel>South AsiaDiabolical
>>220850030australians are subhuman
>>220844334Australia and it even close
>>220850030do they at least wash/wipe their feet before entering the house?
