Is there something wrong with American culture? Why is it that countries around the world continue to reject the American way of living? We saw this most recently in the Taliban’s wholesale takeover of Afghanistan just a few days after American troops left the ground.
Think about it for a second: After 20 years of America attempting to push American values onto the nation, it disappeared in less than a week. Trillions of dollars and countless lives lost to spread a culture that the Afghan people did not even want.
Let’s look at our culture and why it may not be so appealing to others. America has become the modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah whereby sexual immorality, laziness and divisiveness are taking over. We have people like the Kardashians who became famous because of a sex tape. We have transgender and homosexual people imposing their will and identity on children as young as preschool age. The NFL is even playing two national anthems before each game. Is this what other countries want?
Middle Eastern countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Turkey and Lebanon are more traditional societies. Take for example the feminist movement in America; there is nothing wrong with pushing feminism in the U.S. However, it is completely foreign to people living in the Middle East. I am not even just talking about the men either; the women also do not like the raging white feminism that is so pervasive in American society. Recognizing this, it should be no surprise that our way of living was resoundingly rejected.
We have lost our identity. Our military used to be revered the world over, but now it is so enthralled in diversity training and identity politics that it has forgotten its mission. Defending America from forces abroad does not equate to teaching our troops about gender roles and transgenderism.
Where did all of this come from? Why did we allow it to happen? It appears to me that America has been completely blindsided by the current state of affairs.
Tell me – do you think the people of Afghanistan care about transgenderism? Or would people in Iraq care about being cancelled? It is all utter nonsense if you ask me.
We must remember that America is a very young country relative to the rest of the world. The cultures and identities of countries like those in the Middle East have developed and molded over centuries. In many cases thousands of years. The truth is, what makes us think we are so special to push our relatively new values on the rest of the world? In short, we are not so special. We may feel that we are, but all we have done is angered our neighbours and allies alike. Worse, our enemies. It is similar to the new kid at school trying to force their way to the top, pushing everyone aside. While they may thrive in the first few months, very quickly their new style will rub many the wrong way, and sooner rather than later, they will be ostracized. That is what is happening to America today – we are becoming ostracized from the rest of the world.
The great American experiment is failing before our eyes. The worst part is that we are doing it to ourselves. It is not like China, Russia or another adversary fought us in battle and left us weak in the field. In complete contrast, we have pulled one another apart from the inside. No one with differing opinions can ever sit together. Is this a society worth sharing with the world? Is this the type of society that the rest of the world even wants?
If our leaders wish to push debauchery here, we are the ones set to suffer. It surprises me little that the rest of the world has no interest in suffering with us. You would not want what we have either; that says something about our nation.
Most Americans aren’t accepting “American Culture”
It isn’t....................
Think people anywhere are going to watch German porn?
Is it? Is it really?
Or is the author confusing American culture with the current (and hopefully transitory) prevalence of sexual deviancy and Communistic politics?
because the real world does not want socialism.
What we actually seem to be pushing are radical feminism and LGBTQ lifestyles, values that aren’t even traditional with US.
But I think this is skin deep as I'll be 99.9% of people in other countries around the world who are seeking to leave their home birth country will be trying to go to the US. We are still everyone's first and sometimes only destination.
“Ein, zwei, drei, vier; Ein, zwei, drei, vier;
Schnell mein liebchen!
Ein, zwei, drei, vier; Ein, zwei, drei, vier!”
Because it is degenerate and destroys the hopes that most other cultures have for their survival and for the well being of their children.
“Why is American culture being rejected around the world?”
The simple answer is Democrats. Period.
Democratic Party Culture ?
And those who can't make it in academia, migrate to government "jobs". Government and academia are joined at the hip. One can't function without the other.
Heck, what passes for “ culture” here is rejected by half or MORE Americans, who are being persecuted by the liberals and detached sheltered elites for even saying it out loud
When PDJT & Melania went to England for a state visit with the Queen, we were led to believe that CNN is the only USA “news” channel that is available outside the states.
If such is the case, we can only imagine what the rest of the world thinks of us.
Corrections, insights welcome.
It depends on what people mean by “American culture”.
Mainstream American culture of the 1950’s was fine.
The culture which has been taken over by the LGBT’s is not.
“We saw this most recently in the Taliban’s wholesale takeover of Afghanistan just a few days after American troops left the ground.”
This is a nonsense theme. American culture is a competing and much more successful and free culture. The whole weight of human history regarding government is its gravitational pull toward tyranny.
American culture, the real culture, is not being rejected. What is being rejected are those that are not keeping the culture themselves because they have a love of money.
