A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

    America is far from a monolith. Our states roughly equate to different European countries with vastly different cultures, foods, rights and laws.

    We just speak dialects that are almost all the same and roll up under one political entity. It is not so dissimilar than the EU, otherwise.

    We are, in many practical terms a forced confederation with a shared Constitution. There are those, like in the EU, who want out.

    Edit: the shared single language is one of our under-recognized super-powers. I can travel this huge land mass and communicate viably everywhere. It is key to our cultural impact. It is accidental, but helpful to us. Except when we have people who dislike our impact and become hostile.

      Except that’s not true states are no where near similar to countries. Hell a lot of european countries are arguably more diverse internally by far than america examples include the spanish regions, french regions, italian regions and so many others. To argue the US is like the EU is to completely ignore the independence of EU counties and how each of those organizations work to a delusional level. The US throughout its country is very culturally similar with most differences on racial and economic basis.
