Is our mentality country based ?

mapuc · 11-07-22, 11:57 AM

After having read some of my American friends comment about us foreigners who seems to not know enough of what makes the Americans go.

This made me wonder-Are we different mentally based on where we were born and raised ?

Mental is a massive thing-It isn't so simple so I have shorten it down to how we work mentally when it comes to voting and our engagement in political issues-This generate next couple of questions
Are some people more aggressive than others mentally ?
And can you say that some countries has more aggressive voters than other countries ?

Or is the country based on our mentality?

Or is it a mutal feedback, reinfocring certain trends in mentlaity foprmign, while supressing others?

Hshh, I tell you a secret. Its not linear, but its multi-factual. Feedback loops. Genetics (og, how politically uncorrect!). Environment. Indiviual biography, parents' educaton and birth lottery. Politcal and state influence. Needs and opportunities.

To cut it short. Clichées about other nations' inhabitants are mostly clichées, but not completely, every myth has a grain of truth at its basis. Weigh it like - I don't know. Clichée : Truth is 70:30 maybe. Or more, or less.

They could be right when they say I do not know anything about American politics and how the American thinks.

The thing with how American thinks has made me wonder.

Mentally we are almost thinking the same.

I asked in our US-Politics thread how many voted by tradition family tradition and the answer I got was correct. It's not happening in one country only it's happening all over the world. This is also a kind of family based mentality.

I confess I do not know as much as I wish I had about American politics but I say that we think much alike.

There are some types of voters in every democracy where people can vote.
And they act and think almost the same.

A dedicated voter or a platonische voter are thinking almost the same wherever they live.

Moira mentioned an interesting post earlier (on a friend's FaceBook antiquities group) detailing the many outside intrusions into our islands and the subsequent inbreeding - which has made us all who we are. I have Samoan ancestry, believe it or not, yet my father was a Welshman and my mother a Kentish lass. Wtf? But if this is who we are then our American brothers can only despair of finding out where they came from!

IMO this is where all the world’s problems come from.

Another thing when it comes to mentality and psychology is that you can put a dedicated vote and a fanatic football fan into the same box.

And it hasn't anything to do with where they were born-Fanatic football fan and dedicated voters are thinking mentally alike.

It's something I have observed throughout the decades.
