France Invades Mali

[Eddie Teach]

I hate Korea.

You two always seemed to get along fairly well.

[Neil]

K-pop stinks of western influences.

All asian cultures of note are the product of western influences.  We introduced civilization to the region.

What do you mean "we," you filthy freeloading canuck?

What do you mean "we," you filthy freeloading canuck?

Part of the Empire, the vessel from which civilization flows.

Now granted he does say 'style' in the song.

What the fuck is that? Why does it break it down into syllabyls instead of words?

Yoja = woman

Because they include some of the same people, the ones that survived,  and many are financed by the same people, the ones who've had no difficulty surviving. 

So until such time that the sources of the finance and propaganda are tackled, then the West will continue to play wack-a-rat across the middle latitudes of Eastern hemisphere.

We know exactly who's funding them. Saudi Arabia.

Gangnam Style is Western Culture?

Yes

It is made with the western music scale and conforming with western musical conventions. The text just happens to be in Korean.

[Valmy]

Yes

It is made with the western music scale and conforming with western musical conventions. The text just happens to be in Korean.

Oh and I suppose everytime somebody takes a yoga class in Oklahoma City suddenly it is in the Indian cultural sphere?  Cultures borrow from each other and make stuff their own all the time.

Do you mean the government of Saudi Arabia, or one or more Saudi Arabians?  Or does it hurt to have to think that hard?

[jimmy olsen]

IIRC, evidence of wire transfers from members of the Saudi royal family have been found. However given the size of the royal family, that doesn't say much.

Oh, so you realize that the whole thing is complicated? Just because Gangman Style is western doesn't mean it isn't Korean as well. And yes, yoga classes which are held in ok city are part of indian culture as well as western.

Psellus have some bad news for you

[Darth Wagtaros]

I hate Korea.

To be fair she was probably under Ide's influence for a lot of the time you knew her.

I guess I felt it was pretty simple, whatever is in American culture is in American culture regardless of its origin.  We did not actually invent much culturally out of whole cloth after all.  Everything came from Europe or Africa or wherever at one point and we did something with it.
