Anyone else make a conscious effort to resist American cultural imperialism in their writing?

For example, one of the things I do is write muscle growth porn (that's not all I write, but it's a guilty pleasure) and the convention is to express measurements like height and weight in the imperial system because that's what the yanks use and most of the English-speaking internet is American, and so even non-Americans end up using imperial measurements because we have been trained by the American cultural output to intuitively attach a particular image to a weight of 400lbs whereas a weight of 180kg is meaningless.

I buck this trend, and use exclusively metric measurements (except for height and muscle size measurements, where inches make more sense).

It's just one of the things I do to cast off the shackles of the American lingual establishment.

In my broader writing I also reject all American slang or cultural references, and I ensure that all of my work where appropriate criticises not just American foreign policy and domestic politics but also the American people themselves, who let this happen. I want to make my audience understand that emulating American culture is a fast track to becoming American, which is truly a fate worse than death.

What about you, /lit/? How do you preserve linguistic sovereignty in your writing?

Anyone else make a conscious effort to resist Jewish zionism in their writing?

For example, one of the things I do is write concentration camp BDSM porn (that's not all I write, but it's a guilty pleasure) and the convention is to refer to sex acts against the back drop of the alleged Nazi campaign of extermination (commonly referred to as the holocaust, but perhaps more accurately described as the holohoax) because of the Jews and their lies, and most of the English-speaking internet is Jewified, and so even redpills like me end up using the holocaust as the ultimate sexual shortcut to express the superior Aryan's domination of various subhuman ethnics because we have been trained by the Jews intuitively associate the holocaust with the supreme expression of the Nazi ideology, even though it never actually happened.

I buck this trend, and use exclusively historically accurate information and verified reports to paint the backdrop against which my characters engage in their BDSM acts.

It's just one of the things I do to cast off the shackles of the Jewish holohoax industry.

In my broader writing I also reject all Jewish-perpetuated degeneracy like rap or poetry, and I ensure that all of my work where appropriate criticises not just Israel's foreign policy and domestic politics but also the Jewish people themselves, who have made the destruction of the white race their mission. I want to make my audience understand that embracing Jews is a fast track to Roman-stlye collapse, which is truly a fate worse than death.

I'm not American but,
you haven't given any reason why the Imperial system is bad...
I mean, in many ways it's better than the metric such as the 'foot' measurement. A metric metre is a random measurement based on numbers that have no relevancy to human activity other than that they're simple to calculate. A foot, on the other hand, is something that you can measure very close to if you're of average body size. I think even the Russians had thumb measurements that the evils of metric subterfuge rubbed out.

Metric is objectively better if you're a classical liberal such as myself. To death with antiquated measurements based on a king's foot or hand. It's also simpler to use if you need very small or long measurements: 100 cm becomes m, etc.

What. I'm Australian, I have no idea what 400lbs is in any sense, I couldn't even convert it to a unit that has meaning (to me). A weight of 180kg is certainly not meaningless. I can maybe see what you mean in fantasy writing, as imperial (not necessarily American, there are other units under the same names) appear more 'naturalistic', whereas metric/SI is more systematic and verbose. But generally you can avoid this wholly by saying things like: hands, leagues, thumbs, feet, etc. I don't mean 'feet' as American Imperial unit, I mean it as a loose reference for descriptive purposes, as with all the rest. Making reference to the world as a way of describing it in a semi-quantitative fashion. As for other writing, I have no idea what you mean. Non-Americans don't use it, unless a particular edition/publisher changes it (for an American audience). I don't think you should be specifically describing measurements at all. It's irrelevant, a sign of poor writing. You speak of resisting American cultural imperialism yet display that you have been subjugated by it. 'inches' do not make more 'sense', there is no objectivity in this. I prefer cm, m, and mm, because to me inches/feet are imprecise, brutish, and don't evoke anything in my mind's eye. 180 centimetres, 1.8 metres, these are much better to me. But as I said, for measurement in fiction writing, you should refer to world objects and never be so specific.

Disregarding our equally retarded spiels about measurement. I can grasp and appreciate your desire to avoid global homogeneity of degenerate Americanism. Good work, OP. I personally chauvinistically adhere to British and Australian ways of doing things. Even if I have lost them, I revert. A world in which the majority of differences between peoples is only found in trite manufactured politics, would and will be a terrible place. Already capitalism (spearheaded by the USA and its 'culture') has killed the uniqueness of human groups. On one hand humanity becomes a further unified entity, on the other we lose our potential and diversity. We'll be stuck in narrow lines of thought forevermore, no originality ad greatness afforded by alien cultures and thus mentalities, interacting.

>Anyone else make a conscious effort to resist American cultural imperialism in their writing?
I make conscious efforts to write against many things, but I won't get out of my way to attack one of the few countrys that deserve respect (they have problems, lots of them, but the US isen't as bad as people paint it). I also wouden't use a lot of symbolism, I usualy write some political intrigue in scenarios like that, making the characters act like one group or another. Or just plain write rip-off the countrys political and social realities.
>What about you, /lit/? How do you preserve linguistic sovereignty in your writing?
I couden't give less of a fuck about my langue. English is a much better langue than mine, so I use it as I see fit.

Since I am aiming for the world-state, if I write anything to make propaganda of my political beliefs, I usualy aim for that, and regionalistic movements often are the antagonist (tho I make sure that both groups have a fair share of discusting characters, 'cause I ain't going for straw man fallacy)

I have no language to preserve or to defend since my native tongue is of a sub-human language, as long as it elevates my experience then i'll take it, everything is much better than being kept in a sub-human linguistic cage that has no relevance.

I speak Indonesian with Malay dialect since i used to live in Borneo and a bit of Javanese since my mother speaks the language. But i moved to Holland in 2014 to work as an expat and i speak Dutch, English and German. Learned my way formally through language courses so it's pretty stiff until now, not native level but okay enough to hold a normal and proper conversation with people. English is still my choice of language since my Mom forced me to attend language course since i was little.
