pretty americanized

To the point were common speach is plagued with words of clear English origin.

Couldn't care less.

Like what especifically, can't really think of anything right now. And niche technical words don't really count. I think we might have more italian loanwords than english

a lot. they even import american bullshit like queer gender theory. i hate america

Extremely

>>76749537
Very.

De Gaulle basically gave us the same constitutional law, => presidential regime.
But it keeps getting "better". 2 elections ago, the left adopted the US "primaries" system so that the grassroots militants choose the candidate. The right-wing did it for the first time this year (Fillon). etc etc

One of the 2 main parties, the right-wing one, RPR aka UMP just renamed itself "Les Républicains"

US citizens who visit here can't believe there is *only* anglo music in bars, clubs, tv, radio...

If a kid wears a sweater with something written on it, 99% it's in english, usually with a US reference.

>And niche technical words don't really count
I was actually thinking about that kind of shit. Anything refering to technology and new forms of media. And also the tendency to say names in English with a blatantly awful English pronunciation (although that may only happen on TV and it's just me).
>>
One of the most Americanized countries in the world, I think.

Popular culture is dominated by American trends, either directly or by emulating them.

90% of the music on the radio is English-language music.

About 70% of the shows on TV are dubbed American productions and their re-runs.

Our whole political system was heavily influenced by the US when it was set up, notably the strength of the Surpreme court and the federal checks of the states.

America is always on the news, sometimes even domestic stuff.

Is Homeland well-known in Germany? How did people react to the Germany plotline?
>>
>>76749758
A "natural leader" would appear.
The same candidate would run 3 to 5 times. (Mitterrand, Chirac...)

We used to say the US system couldn't be implemented, because the country was too small, and there weren't enough leaders to renew the candidates each time.

It actually turned out to be a suicide for the 2 big parties, it made Macron.

>>76750067

The original "Russian culture" was completely destroyed by the commies 100 years ago. Those old people pretending to be bearers of this culture are simply poseurs born and raised in the Soviet Union and never lived in the actual Russia.

>>76750122

Modern Russia is much less americanized than it was in the 1990s or even than the USSR in the late 80s.

Quite americanised, Our politics is degrading to farce and our business market is adopting american scheistery. Coupled with the adoption of american fashion trends and television, your culture is overpowering our own. Congratulations on winning the culture war.

every heard of anglicismos/americanismos en espanol?
it is huge. why deny that. http://www.americanismos.com
>>
>>76751777
oh yeah, anglicismos is the formal word that indicates the use of anglo words in spanish
I actually expected niche tech words to be among the most used anglicisms, since a lot of tech products were designed/made on the US or the UK in the last few decades, and it was easier to borrow those words than come up with new ones. Spain in particular is not fond of it, so they even translate stuff like character names if they can.
A technical highschool near me had the students that chose the cars/motors path studying German, because a buch of manuals, technical literature, and designs had originated from Germany in the past, so it made sense for that niche space to learn that.
However, computers, smartphones and stuff like that have become so ubiquitous and so quickly adopted that even the masses that don't have a lot of understanding of it, have adopted those words

He is lying. Russians are totally obsessed with America and also hate America. Kinda I hate you because I want to be like you. Their media fuel that obsession by covering every little detail of American life. Be it a cat 2 tornado somewhere in Oklahoma or some nigger shot somewhere in chicago, it makes big news in Russia. They follow American sports, watch American movies, etc. They copied (stole) every American show there is from who wants to be a millionaire to Jerry Springer. They usually copy the shittiest ones of course. Hey, they even have a shitton of rappers. It is all over youtube, check it out. So they are no different than any other countries obsessed with the US. Of course the main difference is in 1990's it was more like blind infatuation. Now it is pure hatred plus every attempt to copy all things American.
