British cultural inferiority complex with France.

[renaissance12]

It is well known that British have always had a cultural inferiority complex with France and it is well known that Italians taught french almost everything... but today some kids ( marvel comic readers and ASATRU followers ) believe that the center of culture has always been England..

WHY?

WHY?

Because of Hollywood and the dominance of english speaking culture like pop culture

Why caring about it that much? I'm not impressed by UK, but if they wish so, that's their business. I'm more interested why some freaks worship Japan, for example (really, not interested, but surprised indeed).

The apricity = European cultural community

Russia = Asia and Japan.. so it is clear that you are not interested in European cultural issues..

Are you surprised for what ?


The Italian Caterina De Medici taught the French how to eat with a fork and spoon and how to prepare dishes worthy of the nobility.

The famous French cuisine is an Italian way of cooking.

The Italian Giovanni Battista Lulli (Jean-Baptiste Lully) is the father of classical French Music..

The Italian Napoleone ( Italian ) is the symbol of France..

and if we think that the British have always had a cultural inferiority complex with France .. we realize what Italy is

The whole world reads English books, French. I don't know any Italian writers. What could you teach France besides siesta?

You sound boring with your sectarianism. Ok, I would explain it that we're not living in 14 century, but in the times of Anglophone globalism and American/English popular culture, that's natural, they dominate now, not in the "we wuz kangz" times.

American/English music of 20 century is way more popular between Europeans, including Russians than other countries' music, I used to be an MTV kid, too, just like voluntary having 60% anglophone Music, 30% Russian and 10% all the others on my playlist until today.

Russia is Eurasia. Russian Europeans who didn't care about the Italian contribution anywhere. We were influenced by Greek culture, not Italian.

Shakespeare knew very well Italian writers and Sonetti..

Do you know how many Shakespearean's tales and SONETTI are set in Italy or with important references to Italy?

The cultural opinion of an Asian does not deserve the attention of any ITALIAN..

The OP has an inferiority complex and because of his lack of self-awareness he doesn't realize he embarrasses himself.

People who feel the need to prove their group is superior to others don't believe their group is superior to others. It's always done by insecure bitter losers.

'The French did great things and so I'm going to claim their achievements by proxy..."

"The British play an important part in modern world history and so I'm going to claim they suck because I don't like that another group is more relevant on the world stage unlike my own..."

I seriously doubt any Brit or Frenchmen cares what an Italian thinks and I'm sure many Italians cringe at this type of breast beating because it smells of trying too hard to appear relevant.

Only low IQ people with no accomplishments of their own behave this way.

I like italian movies and music, but they don't dominate in my mind.
