cultures, like gender, fall victim to equalism. equalism is the quaint notion that all people want, and are capable of, the same things. we aren't.

some muslims (based on a wholly different worldview) use ideology and economic oppression in Middle Eastern countries to recruit followers.

some American ultra conservative/liberals do the same.

they are not the same. worldview and cultural bias is the defining factor.

same with guns. if your ass lives in philly or boston, you are like;ly to accept authoritarian shit faster (i.e.: red light cameras) over someone in say, Nevada. Not the same culture.

DUSPEAK ascertains that all people are equal, ergo equalism prevails. people in MA = people in NV.

nope. test that theory and shit burns down. lesson over.
