Twenty years ago, one of the most pathetic things you would see in England would be middle-aged men of uncertain occupation and limited education dressed as rednecks, with their confederate flags and hats. It was a laughable demonstration of the fact that ITV showed cheap American shows during the daytime.
These days, it’s thirty-ish men who obsess about American economic issues. “Saylor’s treasury moat, Nasdaq 100 inclusion”. But you live in Essex and drive a second-hand Aygo. It’s the same premise: unable to see any culture other than the most garish and stupid version of America.
