Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

(Anonymous) 2018-05-12 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there's sort of 2 different things here. There's a general romanticization of the outlaw and hero worship and of the use of force and things like that. And there's, specifically, a culture of guns and gun violence. And those two things are deeply related and connected on a lot of levels, but they're still separate things - I mean, even people who don't use guns, who don't approve of guns, still fall into the hero-worship traps.

But when it comes to modern American culture, I would argue that the primary influence of things like Wild West outlaws on contemporary American culture is not primarily through / in terms of their use of guns. I guess that's my point.
