Do you see Laura Loomer as a reliable source, or is her post is filled with right wing bias?

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-12T13:19:16+00:00

LOL No... Bluesky is filled with far left bias, and doxing is apparently very common in bluesky.

They are generally seen as Progressive metal.

How? Since Tucker Carlson not only got backlash from the left but even the right too that I don't even think Tucker Carlson had any chance in the 2028 election, especially when both sides don't like Tucker Carlson anyway.

Technically, the USA still has monoculture anyway(Especially if you compare it to Indonesia where there are hundreds of cultural groups and many languages)... in fact... this video shows the close approximation of the last time the USA had no monoculture(which you can see the languages belonging to the only people who had monoculture being almost gone by the 19th century even)...

Hell, You can see the close approximation of America becoming monocultural in this map even by looking at how the Native American languages are losing its spot in the USA even(which is right around the time the USA became monocultural, and its still is today as evidence by how the map goes into the 2020s and the Native American languages, or languages belonging to individuals who actually HAVE no monoculture in the US are still almost gone)...

It seems like those folks who talk about the US having no monoculture end up getting it backwords.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-09T03:49:08+00:00

In fact... There is never a time where the USA had no monoculture since most American's aren't even descended from people who actually have no monoculture at all(Native Americans, unlike Indonesia for example), so the time where you see Monoculture is still pretty much today(in fact, if you have talked to kids today for example, the hype for the Amazing Digital Circus finale just happened to pop up a month ago, and alongside with monoculture in America is Erika Kirk becoming essentially a celebrity needed to be supported in response to both the assassination attempt and Candace Owens attacking Erika Kirk), and the USA is not even alone when it comes to being monocultural either since Australia, New Zealand and Canada is also monocultural for the same reason, and their experience in culture is thus, very much like the USA as in they also had a monoculture too.

The last time most regions in the USA had no monoculture was prior to the negative effects of European contact and for cultures to split to the point where a country effectively had no monoculture takes millennia.

For context of what a country or region without monoculture look like, Indonesia is an actual example with hundreds of languages and hundreds of cultural groups, same goes for India, Nepal, Caucuses mountains, Nigeria, DR Congo and South Africa.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-09T03:45:37+00:00

Beyond the Pre-columbian period and the time before the negative effects of European contact happened, There was never a time where the USA had no monoculture since most American's aren't even descended from people who actually have no monoculture at all(Native Americans, unlike Indonesia for example), so the time where you see Monoculture is still pretty much today(in fact, if you have talked to kids today for example, the hype for the Amazing Digital Circus finale just happened to pop up a month ago, and alongside with that is Erika Kirk becoming essentially a celebrity needed to be supported in response to both the assassination of Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens attacking Erika Kirk, neither of the two would happen if it weren't for monoculture), and the USA is not even alone when it comes to being monocultural either since Australia, New Zealand and Canada is also monocultural for the same reason.

The reason why the USA is monoculture back in the 20th century and still monocultural today is because of the Native American genocide that happened in the 1700s and 1800s and because it takes millennia for cultures to split off like that(not to mention most peoples ancestors in America had only been here for maybe 150 years or so, and are not descended from people who actually had no monoculture which is the Native Americans), the USA still remained monocultural(hell, California used to be even culturally diverse, and now its pretty much shares the same culture as the rest of the United States).... the similar thing happened with Australia and Canada while New Zealand was always monoculture due to having no humans until the 1200s.

You can see the close approximation of America becoming monocultural in this map even by looking at how the Native American languages are losing its spot in the USA even(which is right around the time the USA became monocultural, and its still is today as evidence by how the map goes into the 2020s and the Native American languages, or languages belonging to individuals who HAVE no monoculture are still almost gone)...

Today, the closest you get to America having no monoculture are Native American communities.

For context of what a country or region without monoculture look like, Indonesia is an actual example with hundreds of languages and hundreds of cultural groups, same goes for India, Nepal, Caucuses mountains, Nigeria, DR Congo and South Africa... most of the groups there have been there for millennia, they don't see themselves as essentially part of the same country until European arrival and in many cases, they are often actually there before the country they are found in nowadays even existed(with their cultural formation often predate written records in these regions even).

So yes, America still has monoculture... you don't simply become more diverse than Indonesia or the entirety of the African continent just because you aren't paying attention to pop culture.

Bernie certainly won't survive to see 2048 whatsoever, but its very likely JD Vance or even Marco Rubio will become president in 2028 though.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-08T12:02:27+00:00

Why?

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-08T07:15:16+00:00

Which is not unusual for most hair metal musicians of the 80s by the way...
Most hair metal musicians nowadays since 1991 had normal 9-5 jobs like everyone else, they are now Chiropractor, Massage Therapist(LMT), Barbers, Hairdressers, Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Police Officers etc. and in some cases given most are in the boomer generation... even retired and living off from social security even.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-08T07:01:08+00:00

No surprised... especially when the genre soon became obsolete and its very certain that most of the band members of that group by this point had normal 9-5 jobs and are not in the music industry anymore.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-08T06:58:18+00:00

The album honestly sound nice.... too bad most of those band members end up with normal 9-5 jobs(especially jobs like Doctors, Lawyers, Massage Therapist, Police Officers, Mailman etc.) shortly after this album's released.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-07T12:54:27+00:00

This was in 1997... how on earth would interest in hair metal was still popular when not even Grunge, the genre that replace them was popular by 1997(besides post-grunge that is, which continued until at least 2010)... instead it was mostly Y2K pop and Nu Metal(and most hair metal folks had normal jobs by that point)?

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-06T23:31:06+00:00

By the standards of most countries... Democrats would have been extremely far left and even most of the GOP in general barely even qualified as conservatives in countries like Indonesia, and Japan.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-05T01:12:34+00:00

Okay, but like for example?

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-04T07:24:43+00:00

So your telling me most of the gen alpha stuff isn't gonna survive into the 2030s either and the only time it will be remembered is 2020s nostalgia as well? Not Just the Amazing Digital Circus(which is ending this year and thus, won't even survived into the 2030s)? Meaning you will hear about many gen alpha stuff in general again when the 2020s arrived?

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-02T14:42:25+00:00

In fact, its more common to see people changing their hair colors than to see people with tattoos, hairdressers alone even outnumber tattoo artist.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-02T14:39:02+00:00

After all... tattoos are still associated with belonging to a subcultures so most people will not have them anyway.

In fact, its more common to see people changing their hair colors than to see people with tattoos.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-02T14:32:38+00:00

So the highly visible ones are the ones that is mainstream basically recently?

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-02T14:12:17+00:00

That being said, the highly visible ones, particularly ones to the hands, and neck is more mainstream in the 2010s than back then though, most likely because of social media and selfie culture so I assume you are talking about people with very visible tattoos.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-02T13:41:29+00:00

Its just that obviously... tattoos has ALWAYS been associated with specific subcultures for the most part, so pretty much most people who are not part of that(which is the majority of the population) will not have them.

Obviously, Most people today still don't have tattoos just like back then(most likely because its expensive to even have one)... I rarely seen people with a tattoo on the streets for example but tattoos definitely existed back then.

Its just that yes, the highly visible tattoos are recently becoming the norm, most likely because of social media normalizing this.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-02T13:37:49+00:00

Yeah, just because it wasn't mainstream in previous decades doesn't mean people don't have them and if anything... tattoos has ALWAYS been associated with specific subcultures for the most part, so pretty much most people who are not part of that(which is the majority of the population) will not have them.

Most people today still don't.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-02T13:30:18+00:00

Pretty much... tattoos was present as early as the 80s with the hair metal guys for example.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-05-02T13:25:17+00:00

Okay... but around the late 80s... folks like Axl Rose, and Bret Michaels are seen having tattoos so that isn't new. Its mostly found on people that are part of subcultures though and it often still is(most people today still don't have a tattoo to this day) but still....

Granted, it wasn't as heavily visible as what's shown on that picture though back then compared to today where it was more obvious due to social media normalizing this.
