    Reducing peoples interests to consumerism is your culture i guess.

    If i buy a mountain bike is my culture a mountain biker? How often do i have to ride to be justified in thay belief? How often do i have to post online about bikes? How many hours of youtube do i need to watch of mountain biking?

    Jeeps do things normal passenger vehicles dont and people creating a community of interest on that basis is valid.

      If you call mountain biking a culture, I’ll mock you for that too. Because it’s a hobby and a sport, not a culture.

      Something isn’t a culture just because you and your friends want to base your identities around it.

      I’m way into Star Trek. If I ever heard another Trekkie talk about “Trekkie Culture,” I’d have to resist the urge to slap them.

        Now you’re just being pedantic. If you’re while argument was based on the usage of the word “culture” i think you could have made that point more clear lol.

        Obviously you were talking about the validity of assembling for the interest of the Jeep brand.

        For a professional lemming your performance hasnt been stellar this morning.

          Well as long as it’s obvious to you, because it wasn’t obvious to me.

          I thought I was just one of those weird people who believed words mean things. Thanks for setting me straight on what I really think.

            Well if thats what you really meant then i applaud your ability to leverage how obtuse you are. It certainly seems to have proven you dont need to be clear about what you are saying to win an argument on lemmy.

              You could have asked for clarification rather than just been aggressive this entire time, but your insults are noted.

                Your first reply demonstrates your single-minded goal to “win” rather than clarifying your position. You milked the misunderstanding because thats why youre on here.

                  Thank you for telling me what my goal is. It’s something else I was entirely unaware of.

                  And then I milked the misunderstanding too! Wow!

                  Tell me, how do you know all these things about me that I am completely in the dark about?
