THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS «CULTURE».

Oswald Spengler - Der Untergang des Abendlandes

I wouldn't expect someone soulless like you to know what culture is

>>18748715


DEFINE «CULTURE».

>>18748718
>the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group.

No such thing as orthodox or Slavic culture. It's just some low IQ Westerners who think they can just bundle together 10 or 20 countries with completely different cultures and histories.

>>18748732
I'm sure there are enough similarities that they can be grouped

>>18748719


1. WHOM ARE YOU CITING?

2. IT RATHER SEEMS THAT «CULTURALISTS» THEMSELVES IGNORE WHAT «CULTURE» IS, NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFINE IT, AND RESORT TO MERELY DESCRIBE IT AS AN EMPTY VESSEL INTO WHICH THEY POUR ALL AMBITS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY: A NOTION (NOT EVEN A CONCEPT) AS RIDICULOUS & VAGUE AS THE «MAP» ATTACHED TO THE INITIAL POST OF THIS THREAD.

I literally defined though. There is nothing wrong with my definition

>>18748750


JUST STOP POSTING.

>>18748755
You literally have no argument against the definition.

>>18748758


TO WHAT DEFINITION ARE YOU REFERRING?

>>18748761
The one I posted. This definition of culture. It has value. It's how people use the world culture and we can give examples of it. What's your problem with it?

>the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group.

>>18748764


THAT IS THAT NOT A DEFINITION; REPEATING IT WILL NOT MAKE IT BETTER.

>>18748761
you can't define god, stop larping its getting tiring

>>18748769
Based on the definition of definition what I posted is indeed a definition. So unless you have any actual arguments against it I'm counting this as a dub

>>18748770


?

INGEST YOUR MEDICAMENTS.

>>18748771


DEFINE «CULTURE», OR STOP POSTING.

>>18748778
>the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group.

>>18748771

Latin America is Western

Go back to school, you schizo tripfag, your ganglia is leaking out.

>T-THERE IS NO CULTURE
>THERE ARE NO MORALS
Teenage hot takes, get your teenage hot takes right here!

>Y-YOU DIDN'T REFUTE MY NEGATION
Yes, because you're a mentally ill pseud who spouts contrarian nonsense. No argument is needed where no argument is presented. I sincerely hope that you are younger than 25, this is simply embarrasing. Seek help.

What the fuck is Japan its own culture and places like the US, Iceland, Croatia and Australia are grouped together? This map and classification is fucking retarded.

>>18748872
Latin America is such a mess that it would be unfair to group all those countries together. The cultural, historical, racial and economic differences between most Latin American countries are often ignored, and people only focus on the two things most of them have in common: language and religion.

>>18748897
Japan is more different to any other country (except perhaps south korea) than the US, Iceland, Croatia and Australia is to each other.

>>18748923
Modern Japan is a vassal state of the US and is extremely westernized.

>>18748931
That is perhaps right, but so are iceland, croatia and australia

>>18748914
>ethnolinguistically Latin
>Roman Catholic
>geographically in the West
Yeah I'm thinking they're Western

>>18748938
you literally only focused on the two things he said people usually focuses on and ignored every thing else

>>18748747
ok, then what is a "house"? define it. you will never be able to make a definition, that includes every house. so does this mean there are no houses? no, it means that you are a dumb nigger

bump

>>18750111
read a history of each culture by that culture and compare yourself

>>18748750
That's not a definition, that's a list of things.

>>18748718

OHNONONNONONNONONNONONNONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

>>18750369
just skim the summaries then, it's not like your opinion would matter

>>18748914
If you think a Croatian or a Hungarian in the US wouldn't also be culturally different, you're mistaken.

>>18748749
Oh nooooooo :'(

>>18748688
Absolute bullshit map made by someone whose brain input is stereotypes and brain output is stereotypes.

Also,
> Mongolia is Orthodox
> literally Mongol-i-a
> Orthodox
Someone probably still thinks it's some part of USSR or something.
