Do you think that some cultures are better than other cutlures?

56. I'm an equal opportunity hater of all human cultures.

We have the freedom to say whatever we like here in the U.S.A., so long as it's inconsequential, so long as it's not pissing in the wealthy white guy's pond. Our taxes are taken from us to build expensive weapons that we use to intimidate the rest of the world, which is why many other cultures hate us. Building and maintaining aircraft carriers named after flaming assholes is obviously more important than making sure everyone has good food, good schools, safe and secure shelter, appropriate medical care

Why should I admire that?

Nationalism of any sort blows chunks.



It's as bad as racism.

People are people wherever you go, wherever they come from.

Some people suck. The people who suck, you have to deal with on an individual basis, providing opportunities for them to become part of a positive community, not a culture that sucks.

U.S. cultures that suck:

Gun humpers, gangs, misogynists and racists of all creeds and colors, fascists, many police forces, Wall Street, U.S. Republicans and many Democrats, evil clowns occupying widlife refuges, consumers of high energy industrial goods (such as automobiles), and so on...

Like I said, I probably hate most human cultures. I probably think your culture sucks.

If we want a better world maybe we should figure out how to give every family a little house and a garden, (a garden they can grow tomatoes, cucumbers, dill, and cannabis in, anything they please...) and from there work our way up to a culture that doesn't suck.

Alas, that would not be a world that easily supports billionaires, dictators, religious charlatans, and all the other megalomaniacs assholes who's greatest passion is making other people do their bidding as slaves, wage slaves, pet politicians, or sycophants.
