For example : Megadeaths happen with nary an eye batted in Japanese movies, but you rarely see that kind of thing in the American. And the total dominance of the aristocracy over the underclasses is as assumed and invisible as gravity in French movies, but it seems to be taboo elsewhere.
Considering how many people I’ve heard here in the states say without a lick of irony that we should nuke China/Russia/insert middle eastern nation here for insert reasons here, as if the world’s biggest hammer will fix any situation, I think Americans are just obsessed with death to an unhealthy degree. Hell, growing up in the heyday of the Bush years, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve heard kids in my class say that themselves.
Nuke the whales.
