    He could have done all this without being such a dick and if he’d been polite about it other countries would have probably been somewhat understanding, at least in public sentiment. It’s not a good look to claim everyone else is ripping you off. If they were ripping you off you wouldn’t be the richest country in the world.

        American culture kind of is weak. We even steal TV show ideas from other countries. we steal culture, and if we make culture then it’s monetized. Look at hip-hop culture, it’s bound gagged and raped by money whores whether it’s street culture making dirty money or CEO pimping artists. They all rape the genuine culture just the same.

          Monetization is America’s culture.
          The entire world is capitalist, but no other country has such a culturally ingrained disdain for non-commercial activities.

          This does sound a lot like there is a racist subtext here, tbh. It’s also patently false - there is no one “genuine” culture.
