While it probably is more accurate on the point of history and the fact that it was never a simple dichotomy, the whole discussion would benefit from not having the overlay of Euro versus American bullshit from the commentators themselves, despite the fact the rivalry does exist in real life since we’re talking competing international markets. We’ve got enough hairy chest beating tribalism going on in politics, and I think everybody could do with a break, a chill the fuck out pill, or if that fails, a good slap upside the head.
