Argentina is already enough
Northern, southern? Islanders?
A flavorful mix.
Would be based, if they'd replace India
Saying Italians is like saying "UK people", there's some commonality but in the end it's different and doesn't mean shit. I hope you understand this!
Include Ireland in that
"We have made Italy. Now we must make Italians". Massimo d'Azeglio.
I went to Palermo and nobody called themselves Italians, they called themselves Sicilians, which is a bit odd. Then I went to Venice, and same thing but Venetians. Italian regionalism is rampant.
Italian regionalism is natural, it's not a disease

How can you maintain a nation that does not have a single people? After Italy unified, a Sicilian could not speak to a Venetian because their languages were too different. Thankfully, for the sake of Italy, that has changed.

There are a lot of countries in the world that are actually a lot of ethnicities speaking different languages, LARPing as one people.
Germany was like that before 1900.
China was like that for thousands of years.
India is like that right now.
Soviet era was pretty much that.
Sometimes it's said that a language is a nation with an army and a navy, but frequently enough they form an official union for increased bargaining power with their neighbors.
based?
>increased bargaining power with their neighbors.
if you split the country in several parts you will have more seats in the EU/ your international organization and therefore more power, since most decisions are made by the majority of votes.
that's American tier logic
They'd simply not let you into the organization because you're not relevant enough.
Yep exactly.
Italians are just better dressed Arabs. Mexicans are poor Italians.
so why did all these immigrants to America called themselves just Italians and made a common "Italian" stereotype?
idk what that means. Chicago is where the Poles settled.
I mean that if Italians are so different and actually don't call themselves Italians then there shouldn't be a common 'Italian' stereotype in the US or Europe but separate Sicilian/Venetian etc.
Mexicans are non enclosed amerindians
because regionalism, while rampant, is still a meme, we are all Italians since the times of Rome.
Most Italian immigrants that came here were from Southern Italy, especially Sicily. They didn't really have to differentiate themselves from a a large number of northerners
The stench of cheap cologne would permeate through the entire planet.
Imagine all the PLUMP RED MEATBALLS and the LONG THICK SPAGHETTIS with THICK SLIMEY TOMATO SAUCE oozing out...god im so wet
Why the fuck are americans so on point in this thread? Are they not as retarded as they want to make believe? Could it be?
Are you wet because it's hot in your country so you are sweating a lot?
They're very different cultures, but Americans all have some varying degree of nostalgia for their heritage. That's what happens when you mix everyone up.
No im sweating because im imagining a fat hairy tony soprano-type italian dicking my arab twink ass into the sand
