Nope. And they - the Gods upon Mount Olympus, presume to tell us - the poor, wretched racists that we are, how to live our lives.
It's rather comical that on some of these threads we have some who say, "Hey - if you don't like it, leave!". But I'll guaran-damn-tee you that if that were tried again - they'd protest that, "the Union must be saved".
I once read an interesting article about the worldview of Constantinople in the age of Heraclius and Charlemagne, and how it was, rather than cosmopolitan as might befit a cosmopolis, narrow and provincial instead. Byzantines insisted on viewing actors like Charlemagne through the prism of imperial experience with barbarism, even as they gathered great artworks of antiquity in the Baths of Zeuxippus like some great lumber-room, rather in the manner of what Germans would in the High Middle Ages and Renaissance call a Kunstzimmer, in which the German prince, in his capacity as host, would entertain his guests with a roomful of bric-a-brac, a collection of novelties, curiosities, decorations, furniture, and art.
But the Byzantine Greek would recoil from any such comparison, persisting in his view of himself as civilized, and of others as barbarians. The bulk of the article was taken up with examples, and with illustrating the various ways in which Byzantine Greeks hurt themselves and their interest with their peculiar parochialism.
New Yorkers exhibit something of the same sort of worldview today, when they talk about the country beyond the Palisades as "flyover country" and despise presidents produced by that vast and powerful country as "cowboys" and "yahoos".
