Isn't it the second richest state after California?

>>75165524
>>75165522
that doesnt make something relevant. It doesn't have any cities that have much history, no monuments, nothing of any cultural value. The only thing it does have is the alamo, and that's overrated as hell

>>75165506
It is one of the three states with unique culture.

Funny how I just visited Texas this weekend and my mom and aunt were talking about how they grew up before moving to America how most of the seen they seen on tv back home were from Texas like Cowboys and Little House on the Prairie.

Rural Texans have a self-image of cowboys and frontiersman shit, although they are literally just another California with hipster cities/tech economy, but minus the beach culture and not as superficial and arrogant as typical californians.

t. visit america often

>>75166490
treat México with respect Texshit they're the reason you have so much money

>>75166568
I live in texas and Texans are just as superficial, their kind of superficiality is just looking ”weathered” and having a shitty 2 acre ranch and bragging about killing a deer

>>75165945
It's said that the way the world views the US is the same way the rest of the US views texas

>>75165506
1. It was a former nation

2. Unique and interesting history and "style"

3. 1950s oil boom

4. Geographically big

5. Easy name to remember

Previously its own capital-S State.

Epitomization of "backward" rancher-hick rural cowboy culture, "Authentic" cowboys and Indians American culture.

Texas Instruments.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the apotheosis of the slasher film.
Marfa, Texas. It's so fucking weird and empty that it became a meme for artistic creatives. Giant, Donald Judd, Art, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood.

>>75166568
>t. I've only visited Austin

>>75168272

The only reason why you think that that's true, Janusz (it isn't) is because Pope JPII stopped there twice.

The only reason why he did so is because of arctic flight paths to avoid Soviet airspace; this was a more common stopping point during the cold war.

Texas is more important.

>Why is this state known by most people around the world?
It is viewed as the embodiment of the infamous trashy aspects of American arrogance, ignorance and religiosity. When people think of Texas (outside of the USA), they tend to conjure imagery of obnoxious oil tycoons, loud rednecks, Christfaggotry, white trash and a general backwards attitude towards modernity.
However accurate or inaccurate this all is has very little bearing on how the outside world has come to view the state.

>>75165506
Texas was my fav state before the brown hordes invaded

>>75170989
>When people think of Australia, they tend to conjure imagery of obnoxious mineral tycoons, loud rednecks, Boganfaggotry, white trash and a general backwards attitude towards modernity

Works for Australia as well if you adjust it a bit 2bh

>>75171016
You mean Mexicans? It was Mexican before the "white hordes" invaded.

>>75165506
Fuck texas. The people from there are cunts

>>75171054
I think it's only Americans who have that view of Australia. Could be wrong, though.

yep’ they sprout like shitrooms after a shitrain

>>75166568
Texas is only getting that way because faggoty Californians wrecked their own state and started a mass exodus, but take all their baggage with them. They've already ruined Colorado and Oregon. Between the intolerable leftwing idiots and sheer volume of Mexicans Texas is going to be California 2.0.

>>75173144
The war was definitely about slavery. For a time it was popular to push the "state's rights" cause but the reality is that slavery was the key component that led to secession.

California is the only relevant state, every other state can be nuked and no one except foreign burgers would care

>>75176403
California's would care given a shit load of the water they consume irrigating those very expensive crops and squalid cities comes from out of state.

>>75165506
Lived there for two years
10/10 state, great people, great times

Also its easily recognisable as texans are used to portray all central americana. If its they aren't from new england/new york or the west then they are texan.

Because Texans are stereotypical Americans
>cowboy hats
>guns
>sunglasses
>wave their flag
everyone else just sorta looks like a faggot

>>75165506
I have entered Texas by car, from a neighbor state.
I got know Texas was really rich.
The highway was gorgeous.

Is texas full by marir merdo mexicunts?

Then again our Ameriboos aren't exactly the most normal of people. The Ameriboo culture here is absolutely hilariously stereotypical and superficial. Muh big cars, muh big trucks, muh cowboy hats, muh country music.

>>75178612
sounds like they're Dixieboos, not really Ameriboos. The rest of America doesn't have a culture to be a -boo of.

>>75178719
More like Wyomingboos who think Wyoming happens in Texas and Texas looks like Nevada. Also big cars and trucks can be found anywhere, but obviously the decisive influence are the western US. That's where all the scenic road trips happen anyway. If you photographed cowboy hat wearing guys driving a Cadillac, a pickup truck, a Harley and a Peterbilt down a very long, very straight, very empty road in Nevada you'll basically have captured 90% of our booism.

>>75178834
Western Texas does look like Nevada. Texas is just big enough that it encompasses three different climates. Plains in the north and center, desert in the west and south, bayous and southern marshland in the east and along the coast.

An been in Austin for almost a year, it's okay.

>>75179052
If it's any less scenic than Monument Valley, it's not scenic enough.
