    They say that’s the main difference between the US and yogurt. If you leave yogurt alone for a few hundred years it will develop its own culture

      America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.

      this is always a good joke but like many jokes needs nuance! the US actually has thousands of very rich cultures—most of them are just too non-white/POC/queer/non-christofascist to “count”

      (“count” is in quotes because of course they count to everyone who isn’t a white nationalist)

        No it doesn’t. It’s just a joke. You want to add nuance because youre taking it personally. Everyone understands the hyperbole …

        Imagine if every racial joke in a comedy skit added an “akshuallly” for nuance; it’s no different for the US.
