It Has Been Said That Showing Anger Is Sometimes Important In Anglo-Saxon Culture, Especially For Men.

It has been said that showing anger is sometimes important in Anglo-Saxon culture, especially for men. Breaking things, throwing a coffee cup. I understand the behavior is necessary to show who they are and what they think. American culture is like “a salad bowl”, Anglo-Saxon culture is a part of it, but big influence. The difference between American Anglo-Saxon culture and English culture will be that Americans tend to exaggerate including emotions. 

Once Japanese male students in the U.S. told me they were not attractive to American ladies because they are not used to show their emotions. They said it's not charming to Americans.

The article argues that the way to show anger now takes certain forms with bad consequences.

Last year summer, I had watched Fox news in order to be fair. The day, BLM protesters clashed with police. The scene was shown on Fox News. The host said the protesters are "disgusting". The host was Tucker Carlson if my memory is correct. Rather he tried to tell audiences what happened on the street or what protesters thought, he tried to direct the audience's aggression toward them. I stopped watching it.

[edited]The difference between the UK and the U.S. is added for clarity.

The real reason Americans are so damn angry all the time
Mother Jones
We are at war with ourselves, but not for the reasons you think.

Americans sure are angry these days. Everyone says so, so it must be true.

But who or what are we angry at? Pandemic stresses aside, I’d bet you’re not especially angry at your family. Or your friends. Or your priest or your plumber or your postal carrier. Or even your boss.

Unless, of course, the conversation turns to politics. That’s when we start shouting at each other. We are way, way angrier about politics than we used to be, something confirmed by both common experience and formal research.

Belarus sprinter who fled to Poland tells compatriots ‘not to be afraid’
Krystsina Tsimanouskaya has arrived in Poland under diplomatic protection after seeking help in Japanese airport

“I can say that I always openly expressed my opinion,” she said on Thursday, when asked if she had freedom of speech in Belarus. “But you always have to watch your words so that it doesn’t lead to consequences. Yes, in Belarus not just I but everyone is afraid to say the wrong thing.” She said that she hoped to return to the Olympics, saying: “I just wanted to run at the Olympics, it was my dream.” And while largely avoiding politics, she concluded her first press conference with the words: “We are running free, and Belarus will be free.”

She made such a good expression. Very nice pink hair. Whether Olympics bring people together or not also depends on international efforts after them. It’s excellent that Poland has granted a humanitarian visa to her.

Zeppeli accepted his fate + Ending "Roundabout"

The best Anime ending theme. A lot of memes were created after this. At that time, Yes' fans were surprised at JOJO fans occupying the Youtube comments section.

I read the manga when I was a kid. Especially, "Stardust Crusaders" belonged to my generation. When I dug up Progressive Rock, I bought the album "Fragile". 

No surprises. Cool kids had time like that.
