I have heard the term Midwest before. Upbear because I want to know more US lore as an ameriboo
I think there's something about the mythos of America that I find interesting. Even the idea of things like liberty, freedom, and democracy is fascinating to me. Of course, all these concepts are as real in the USA as Thor’s Hammer, but that’s exactly how I view them—as mythological ideas. I view these things as almost a religious facet of the USA.
I'm virulently opposed to the American Empire, but I do greatly appreciate some of their cultural output. Like I dont mind admitting some of the stuff the Yankees make is either fun, entertaining or "sometimes" even good.
Doesnt change that we have to demilitarize and balkanize the USA sooner or later.
