The dominant religion of the West is Middle Eastern in origin, its best features long overlayered with barbaric bureaucracy of the Greeks and Latins and vile practices derived from the warrior cultures, many the outgrowth of northern European hinterlands, Anglo-Saxon defectives still enthralled with ceremonial violence inherent in costume, sports, entertainment, prejudice, pride, and exculpation of ego-driven indifference to harm caused others -- others deliberately defined as unworthy of equal treatment with those who considered themselves inherently superior. Calvinism a cloak for screwing with mammon's blessing. The dominant political system is similarly derived and corrupted by bandit mentality, warlords changing sides, imitating each other, destroying dissenters of the main behavior, bribing those they cannot beat, stigmatizing and/or criminalizing those they cannot bribe. The Western family culture is probably the most barbaric of all for its promulgation of vicious sexual peculiarities, prohibitions, askanced violations, intra-familial deceits, institutionalized sanctimoniousness and manipulation and slavery (oft through faux idolization) of children and women. The dominant male is homosexual beyond the conventional definition of that term, preferring and adoring other males, the more dominating the better, though never recognizing the fundamental cowardice of preening dominants -- all showboating, parading, bluffing, fetishism of stand-off battling, never risking harm, and love of literature and art that valorizes these traits. The economic system is a mish-mash of the other three, opportunistic, unprincipled, venal, treacherous, exploitive at home and overseas. Nothing intellectually original about it, lacking subtlety, maximizing unearned profits, gloating about winning by treachery, by taking advantage of others, completely ga-ga about hanging out with like-minded dimwits. What is most distinctive about Western culture is its willful ignorance about where it came from, and what has been lost by branding the mongrel culture with simplistic, jingoistic terminology created for ignorant sellers of the product (gov, com, edu) and its consumers. Sure it appeals to the ignorant sellers and consumers worldwide but not as much as believed by its homeland sources.
