Some Cultures Are Better Than Others, Part Ii

...Even in our own subcultures this pattern most people can see, look at the endless dysfunction that curses our inner cities. A culture than has accepted a lack of fathers in their lives, a culture that thinks real success is betrayal, they’re ‘acting white.’ With music that glamorizes thugs who murder to get their dope, is that the culture you’d embrace? Is that what will give our kids hope? Now if they have some good ideas it is quite smart to learn from that, but some stray ideas are much different then embracing all that is bad. You judge culture by its results, the west brought freedom, prosperity, so much that Asia imitates it, and now grows more and more wealthy. Why take after the dysfunction, failed cultures make nothing of note, some cultures are better than others, and the west is better than most. Let’s be real, it’s not even close.

Yes. Let's be real, at the risk of our very lives when 'the Squad' starts running things. Ugh! ... We'll probably have to learn to be creative between the cracks, as we the support 'the regime' --- just like poets and artists do to survive in Putin's Russia... Bravo, David.
