Why it is kept an "issue" that muslim culture would destroy European culture but American culture add nobody care?

American culture add destroys European cultures as well and has done it faster, better and in all silence and nobofy cry after their own culture (except me of course) ..

And now when muslims are coming, many seemed to wake up and ask what about our own (american-washed) culture?

Is there some new comer ways that you like and hate and some what you miss of your own what is gone and what is still left and you appreciate and would not let go?

What is American culture? Wearing jeans, Coca Cola, movies and video games. People like that, myself included, except for the Coke, people adopt American culture by their own choice. Islamization is forced upon us and what is Muslim culture? Wearing hijabs, beheading people, drinking no beer and eating no pork - can't you see the difference?

How many times things are done by free choice to be specific? You are leaving out medias brainwashing, societys pressures etc. When you try to get a job and get answer that after eye lid surgery you would get hired, is that done by free choic since everyone have to buy food and live somewhere if is going to live at first place.

Also adding music, language etc. meanwhile forgetting own..

No, look at american bully-culture which sneaked into their court-system already too.. can't you see the similarity?

Ways to keep people blind and submissive are different but freedom? Just laugh at that!


Have you seen how similar also russia and america are? If not, seek again..


Also think bigger picture, you must know how america is ruled and how structures differs from your own country.

Especially when EU:s brainless leaders are brainwashed and bribed by america (GMO etc.) it is not citizens free choice but people are forced into something.

Well Americanization of European cultures manifests itself first of all in the corporate world, that in turn brings the feeling of the "production line" to the society, where everything is submitted under the idea of bringing more and more profits to "transnational" upper crust, rather than serving the national interests.
Granted - such intervention destroys European cultures, not to mention Hollywood movies and "simplification" of approach to anything and everything American way.
But at least American culture shares the same Christian background, where Muslim culture is downright destructive to European cultures, since it's drastically different in its very core - its values, its philosophy.

P.S. The unmistakable similarity between today's Russia and America didn't come out of nowhere; don't forget that it was direct American intervention into Russian internal affairs and American desire to destroy Russia within, establishing there basically the "laissez-faire" capitalism, convenient for the US and downright mortal for Russia. ( Not that it didn't happen without participation of those on top in Russia - what Russians christened "the fifth column" already for long time.) And these are actually the proofs coming lately from Americans that know better;

Privatization Is the Atlanticist Strategy to Attack Russia -- Paul Craig Roberts and Michael Hudson - PaulCraigRoberts.org

P.S. By design of it, don't make a mistake - once Russia would have been finished off, the next in line would be Germany - the next inconvenient for American corporate world country.

The OP has made a brilliant point.

Americans love to blame government and immigrants for 'changing the fabric of American society' while refusing to put any blame on the profit-obsessed corporations who make good jobs scarce, who turn citizens into self-absorbed zombies staring into screens, who push food and products that make us fat and unhealthy, who have polluted the environment and made weather extreme, who destroy small businesses, and ultimately make every town the same as the next.

The Americanization of (much of) the world is essentially the global corporatization of the world. This is what is changing/destroying the centuries of real, unique culture from Arlington to Chicago to London to Munich to Milan to Bejing to Sao Paulo, etal.

If that is the definition of American culture for you "jeans, coca cola, movie, video games" you know nothing of america and its culture then.

The worst thing coming out of America is

1. political correctness

2. forced pushed down your throat multiculturalism

3. rampant consumerism

4. big companies owning everything

5. celebrity worshipping

that is truly cancerous aspect of the american culture

there are much better things to come out of the US (music, foods, ideas of equality etc.)

American has had and still has negative influences (as well as positives) on Europe. These come through the form of excessive political correctness, excessive consumerism, firms and franchises who represent a threat to independent businesses (Starbucks, ecc.) and neoliberist economic polices

Muslim culture forced upon who? Have you ever been asked not to eat pork or not to drink beer, let alone being forced? If it were to actually happen, it would become news quickly.

Truth is that first of all there's no Muslim culture just like there's no Christian culture. These are religions whose adherents come from countries who couldn't be more difference between each other. A Nigerian Muslim is totally different from an Indonesian Muslim in the same way a Peruvian Christian couldn't be more different than a Kenyan Christian. Aside from that, not all Muslim actually practice religion or adhere to its principles, i have seen many drink alcohol, eat pork, ecc.

How is Islamization forced on Westerners? No one's forcing them to wear hijab or to adopt Islam, or follow certain commandments or dietary restrictions. You don't seem to understand what Islamization means.
