Just take a few minutes to look at Somalia or Pakistan, and you will know its true.
There are other barometers by which to measure culture:
- US is still reeling from opioid epidemic
- So mental health…
- Life expectancy
- Marriages that last vs. end in divorce
- Violence
etc…
US is very divided. And it’s not just by race. White Americans are communally fractured in many ways.
We also have gender dysphoria, sexuality crises…which I’m sure leaves many countries watching that scratching their heads.
Certain aspects of healthcare are relatively mediocre for a developed country….
Infrastructure needs revamping.
Education system is…not the best.
Can’t claim the high ground on many things right now…
BUT still way better than vast majority of the world…and even better than ages past.
Our greatest export used to be Western Civilization. Now if we had the stones our greatest export would be the non-Western civilization that has taken root within our boarders.
“All Cultures Are Equal”
You might as well say all types of fruit taste the same......it’s a stupid notion on the face of it.
All influenced by the other cultures that have been imported over several decades ...
Birth rates…
Pregnancies carried to term vs. Aborted.
Treatment of the elderly…
Back in the 1930s the Nazis pushed a huge lie: There is only one master race.
In response, the West swung to the opposite extreme: All cultures are exactly equal.
Both are deadly. The first kills quickly. The other slowly.
The people who promoted this dangerous lie seem to have all disappeared. I remember reading their drivel back in the 70s. “Hey hey, ho ho, western civ has got to go.”
the transgenderism debacle is definitely homegrown. and momentum is not on its side right now thank God.
Traced to its origins, the “all cultures are equal” notion comes from anthropology as an admonition necessary to the discipline to understand other cultures on their own terms. Applied outside of that context, it makes no sense.
“African culture” is not equal to “American culture” ———both are incredibly diverse.
“African culture” itself is not a monolith, as the African continent is home to thousands of distinct languages, tribes, religions, and traditions.
“American culture” is also not monolithic, with a wide variety of regional and ethnic subcultures, but it also has a mainstream that emphasizes individualism, future orientation, and practicality, as opposed to some traditional African cultures that may prioritize community, tradition, and fate.
Differences between African and American cultures
Diversity:
Africa: A continent with over 1,000 languages and diverse ethnic groups, religions, and traditions.
America: A melting pot of cultures from around the world, with its own diverse regions and ethnic subcultures.
Cultural values:
Africa: Traditional African cultures often emphasize community, group welfare, and tradition.
America: Mainstream American culture tends to emphasize
individualism, personal control, and practicality.
Social structure:
Africa: Hierarchical workplaces can be common in some African nations, where higher positions are earned through long tenure.
America: Social structures can vary, with individualism often being a core value.
Food and customs:
Africa: Local foods and traditional diets are more common in many parts of Africa, though processed foods are also becoming more common.
America: Processed and frozen foods are more common, and portion sizes tend to be larger.
Language:
Africa: Many different languages are spoken across the continent.
America: English is the dominant language, but many other languages are spoken throughout the country.
"They're just like us!" is a massive lie and everyone knows it.
Thankfully, Trump is fighting back...
The missive from the state department goes on to say:
Officials will also report policies that punish citizens who object to continued mass migration and document crimes and human rights abuses committed by people of a migration background. These issues have plagued citizens of Western nations for years

it’s also a complete myth that everyone is born equal, which has now been conclusively proven by genetic differences ... A Down’s Syndrome child is CLEARLY not equal to a baby Einstein ... and for centuries, esp. the last couple of centuries, farm animals have been selectively bred from superior individuals to improve the qualities of subsequent generations, thus we already know and accept that not all animals are born equal ... since humans are animals, not all humans are born equals ...
They actually don’t believe that all cultures are equal. They 100% believe that white culture is inferior.
You ignored the actual truth and reality of the OP to make this an America sucks and isn’t any better thread?
Cultures are different and don’t mix well. Some cultures have achieved more in particular fields than others. Habits that are taken for granted in one culture may be repulsive and destructive in another.
Flopping’s teacher may have been trying to get the students not to go around saying “We’re #1” or “We’re better than them” all the time and to recognize that we couldn’t make Vietnam into New Jersey or Somalia into Minnesota. The idea that we’d end up making Minnesota into Somalia may not have occured to the teacher.
Make America Great…
“Again” <—
Is a slogan for a reason.
Think kamikaze pilots-told to take their fighter planes and crash them into the side of American battleships. That way they wouldn’t miss their target.
There is something to be said for taking one for the team but one would have to ask: Are You Serious?
