Culture

Most cultures believe, fundamentally, that they are the best at most things, or at least immune from criticism. Most cultures evolved over a long period of time for a specific set of people in a specific geographic and ethno-linguistic boundary that limited contact, and thus disruption.

But the world is shrinking due to increasing human populations and increasing human footprints on limited space and limited carrying capacity of the Earth's biosphere. Technology allows people to communicate and travel greater regions, and allows the exploiters to exploit further from home with fewer immediate consequences. But like the nearly imperceivable ripple of the tsunami at the epicenter of the earthquake, the waves of cause and effect do eventually hit a wall that cannot be pushed further outward by even more damaging technology. When that shoreline is reached, the waves build to a crescendo. The boy warned the village, and the village hated the boy.

United States of America Anglo-Saxons believe they are perfect, just like most cultures. They call it American Exceptionalism. They are not perfect. They worship the consumption of the Earth and every other spectacle possible to distract themselves from the slavery to the Empire machine they are sleep-working in: spectator sports, religion, celebrities, social media, entertainment... it's all the same, at the root. It's all designed to keep you from thinking and developing a unique, independent self.

The Japanese have whaling. It's clearly wrong to most everyone else, but they are stubbornly blind, willfully ignorant, and insistent on justifying their behavior.

Most sects of the Abrahamic religions conduct unnecessary nerve damage to pleasure sensors by way of female genital mutilation and male castration. They couch this as a harmless cultural artifact. It is not harmless.

Jews and Anglo-Saxon Christians alike support Jewish colonization and apartheid of an occupied state, and ignore assassinations and other war crimes. They call this Zionism, as if that makes it good or right--which it is not--and condemn any criticism of Zionism as anti-Semitism, which it is not.

Every nation and every culture is so corrupt, yet refuses to acknowledge their own faults. Only rarely will they even wag a finger at another, because that's the rub: everyone is guilty, and not only guilty, but unrepentantly so. How many war crimes have been committed since War World 2? How many war crimes besides the German's during War World 2? Yet how many have been tried in international court besides Nuremberg? How many war crimes and crimes against humanity does every nation on Earth commit? Think about that. No one wants to blame another because everyone is a criminal, and there is dishonor among thieves and criminals. They are robbing our future, our humanity, our collective soul, and draining the life away from our biosphere.
