No culture but the culture pushed on you by gigantic companies trying to sell you merch. Superman v Batman is exactly the same as traditions that have been evolving naturally for thousands of years. Buying a Spiderman backpack is equivalent to knocking on wood or leaving a shot of vodka out in the woods for the leshiy. In Ant Man's name, amen.

American culture is the first to be fully developed under capitalism rather than before. No wonder it is devoid of humanity.

Even after living in this goddamn country for 30 years I still couldn't tell you what american culture actually is outside of rampant consumerism and pervasive poverty that's been hyper normalized. This shit is a potemkin village with highways and traffic jams.
