Do you think the bad aspects of different cultures in the west are being praised too much?

I think they are. When I was still on Twitter, I saw a whole mess of different things. I mean we see it in TV, movies, and music even. Like people are being told to be selfish, worry about themselves, and all that. Like yes, you take care of yourself but not to a point where you become a scumbag or something. I feel like every different kind of culture in the west is being uplifted for its worst attributes. Worst of all, it is being spread now like wildfire and celebrated. You see this in black communities, gay communities, and just generally with women from all different backgrounds. I am all for freedom and people doing what they want in life but making nothing but bad life choices won't just screw up your own life but everyone in your life and around you. They are establishing a culture where failure and struggles in life an inevitable. What do you think about all this?

    Well it's by design...deprive people of their identity, rewrite their identity as nothing but lazy no goods, deprive them of resources, and give them a steady diet of degeneracy in music, tv, and music. At the end of the day, the people that really run the country are smart AF and they need chaos and disorder to maintain their rule. If you look anywhere they go, they use divide and conquer to take control of a people and their resources. We are so divided...white/black, gay/straight, catholic/protestant, etc that we don't stop to see that we're all getting fucked by the same small group of people.

    the west has never been a culture of virtue though so nothing is really changing. prior to the 70s there was a veneer of civility but underneath it was a rotted out core of racism, sexism, barbarism, thievery, etc. the country literally started off with stealing people's land, killing them almost to instinction, using slaves as a labor class, and then centuries of sexism, non-stop murder, rape, and chaos of Black people, and etc. this country is a degenerate culture and the media is reflecting how degenerate it truly is

    It is like that comic I see floating around. Have the pitchfork people fight the torch people and they will stay distracted away from the real problem and the real threat. These fat cats are drinking all the milk and probably taking bets on what we will do next. I am honestly shocked they didn't seriously consider doing that purge scenario from the movies. It seems like the kind of sick crap these crooked establishment criminals would love.

    there’s 2 men, each with 10 cookies.

    a banker walks up and takes 9 cookies each from man 1 and man 2 when they weren’t looking.

    the banker then tells man 1 to be careful because man 2 is trying to take his last cookie.

    I blame it on the news and social media. It's so easy to go out there and speak your mind, but it also means people of differencing and dumber opinions come around to share their dumb thoughts that only hurt or make us go backwards. I blame it a lot with social media, because of how everyone is able to have a voice, but instead the voice people have is to complain, argue and lie all the time. It's why I don't touch social media that much, because it's just annoying children arguing amongst each other, throwing out memes with lies and so much more.

    I wouldn't say it's just the west though, I'd argue it's the world as a whole. We're stuck in this social media rhythm and that's where everything seems to go down these days.

    I too agree, the media impact among different cultures play important role and is really exaggerating the cultural differences. The countries continue to experience prejudice, intimidation, discrimination, misunderstanding, and even hatred among their people. We really need to learn and understand people from every walk of life.

    It's a given. Look at the tv shows we have now?
    RuPaul's Drag Queen
    My 90 Day Fiance`
    Trading Spouces
    The Bachelor/Bachelorette

    ....and a few other shows where you literally marry someone you don't know.

    So, for me its not even a question.
    Milf Manor just sent me over the edge. This is the entertainment they think is ideal for people in the US.

    I am just over all this. Everything is centered around self-pleasure be it sexual or toxic selfishness. People care more about their feelings that actual facts. They are telling us men can become pregnant. They are telling is children can be trans. They praise people who are materialistic and value objects over family. It is all disgusting.
