What a completely arrogant and wrong-headed analysis.

Thank you for your opinion, but as enlightenment, it's totally useless.
The usual response from the disciple of the indefensible.

To paraphrase a famous line, "If it's true it's not arrogant".
You would eschew analysis because it defines in stark contrast what you would rather not see?
You must have a lot of broken mirrors at your house.
I infer from your pedantic whine that you hold that all cultures and societies are equally valuable, and you will kill us if necessary to convince us.

We choose to see a different panorama and would be content to see the backward primitive isolate himself and leave us be, if the best we can do is convey to him that we all are entitled to decide for ourselves.

But I guess that hateful envy of results prevents that doesn't it. A deadly thing, that seething resentful hateful envy.

If you don't like my analytic abilities, try this:

Our culture labors in an advanced state of decadence. What many people mistake for the triumph of our culture actually consists of forces that are disintegrating our culture. The vaulted democratic freedom of liberal society in reality is servitude to appetites and illusions that attack religious belief, that destroy community through excessive centralization and urbanization and efface life-giving tradition." --Russell Kirk
