Why is small talk a thing in America? Our European brothers hate small talk.

Muslims usually come from merchant cultures, as soon as they get some language proficiency they will mass produce words to deceive and manipulate aka form business relationships as if there's no tomorrow.

kind of.
think of it like the game of "among us"
small talk is how you build repetoire, if you can't make small talk, that's a tell.
if you can make small talk, then you move on to the next step of the test, are you for us or against us (let/right/centrist)
and so on.
each part of the conversation is a test.

sus, OP is the imposter, i last saw him making a thread on /pol/, he killed 4chan with his shitty threads.

If another man stares me in the eye for long periods of time without saying anything thats far more akward than small talk imo, you basically have to break the ice at that point and ask if you owe them money or why exactly is that person doing that

Good goy, don't speak to people in your community. Fear them. Never make connections. What if they laugh at you for saying the wrong thing? Imagine how you'd feel. Better just stay quiet and remain distant.

It's part of our "love thy neighbor" ethos. It's excellent for social cohesion. Europe had centuries of structure. Social cohesion is for us a spiritual thing, in Europe is has always been a political mechanism. And make no mistake, our way is better in that regard. Cold people make for grim and mirthless society. It's nothing to emulate. Life should include pleasant intercourse among each other. There should be no obligation to an involved back and forth. But should that spirit of fellowship fall on any encounters, the cultural climate should be such that the pleasant back and forth is in every way normal. Social pleasantries are the Hallmark of any truly advanced society.
You people need to read your Emily Post.

We probably developed social skills here cause people needed to link up and fight Indian war parties all the time in the old days.

I fucking hate it too. Small talk is fake and manipulative, most Americans are huge hypocrites. When you travel to the USA you notice no one has close friends and the reason is the culture promotes being a hypocrite who see people as things to be used.
>>
>>544572454
Americans never talk about how much money they make or how much they paid for a vehicle or house. It's very strange.

>>544573211
>We probably developed social skills here cause people needed to link up and fight Indian war parties
Checked, your indian wars were small skirmishes, in the 1700s half the finnish population was killed fighting the russians for example, there was virtually no danger at all in North America compared to a regular yuro country where warfare with strong opponents was constant, every century every country had like 3 or more devastating wars for a thousand years straight so I dont think its that lol. If I sad down to drink a cup of coffee outside my local kiosk I might shoot the shit for a little bit but in passing pretty much never

the purpose of small talk also serves as a filter, to keep NPCs occupied, its part of the tell, if they can't escape the dialogue, then they can't go be involved elsewhere.
this is why foreigners hate small talk, they dont know how to break the dialogue without exposing themselves.

The battles over here were small scale but thats because the population in the 1600-1800s was so small. 50 Indians on the warpath was a huge thing if you lived in a village of 150 people separated from the next town by 20km. In Europe people were part of a collective here it was far more social and less authoritarian
>>
>>544573824
The problem is that if you ask they take it as you being rude. So what happens is that they start to ask other annoying question to figure out of you have money. Is all so exusting and overdone. Another thing they do is that they will make planes to hang out but they are actually just being fake. It's all so fake and base on vibes this is why the Japanese say they are all liars.

I feel like small talk is for NPCs, you see the player character and you must interact with them and be a nuisance, maybe sell some trinkets to them if you have some. If you go to arab countries for example the vendors aggressively small talk to you even if you dont respond for several minutes and have pic related expression the entire time

Maybe you're actually onto something to be honest, when I go to my cabin which is more remote than the town I live in everyone says hi to each other and often exchanges a word or two, but if there are like a hundred people around instead of 1 or 2 there is less reason to talk

one thing i've noticed about those from "across the pond", from europe all the way to the far east, they love being superficial and fake.
everything they do revolves around lying, scamming and just being overall fake.

in america, as shitty as we are as a people (at least in the west coast), we're mostly honest (mostly)
sure, there's those subversive elements, but they tend to get isolated and avoided quickly, but to the east, they lift that up as some sort of virtue.

this is why europe is falling quickly, the middle east is rising in power and asia is skyrocketting.
the best liars win in a system designed to lift up deceit.

Exploring jeet behavior just reveals that most people have been acting like jeets this whole time. As lukewarm as I am on puritans, nothing will convince me that leaving the Old World to found the colonies was a bad idea.

>>544577802
>nothing will convince me that leaving the Old World to found the colonies was a bad idea.
the only problem is that the masons came along and took control of the US.
while they dont have complete control, they do have a lot, which is why they're importing jeets en masse.
they can't survive in an environment of truth, they need cloaks of deception and lies to thrive, like an infection needs uncleanliness, so too the masons, jews and jeets.

This is true. Small talk is a good thing. If you think being friendly is being fake then I'm afraid you have autism.
