Have you retreated from our anarchic, depraved, cruel, and greedy culture?

Are you just trying to save yourself and your own at this point? Given up on fixing the culture?

Sure, as for the culture...I only care about Western Civilization, and of that, mostly America and Western Europe. Everyone else can go f ck themselves. The French too...they can go suck a bag of d cks, to quote Louis CK.

Somehow I would have pegged you as a Marine Le Pen fan. Guess I was wrong.

"You've been charged with fixing the culture"?

Who died and made you HMFIC?

And what SPECIFICALLY detrmines that a culture is "anarchic, depraved, cruel, and greedy"? Who sets the standards?

Macron has done more to get illegals out of France than Trump has to get illegals out of the US, also.

First of all, our culture is hardly anarchic. It's the opposite actually. Political correctness, Grievance Inc, Virtue Signalers 'R' Us, the campus speech/thought police and the various #me_you_us_victim "movements" are all cultural totalitarians. They punish any dissension with a singular ferocity typically only seen with the worst despots and tyrants. Anarchic? Really? Are you stoned?

Cruel and greedy, sure. Those are hallmarks of totalitarian dictators. Depravity, maybe. But not anarchic, no way.

As for my part, I stick with the classic thinking:

Most of our culture exists at this point to scold, bark orders, force assimilation, etc. Having been an outsider to every clique in existence for most of my life, I long ago learned to do things in spite of the culture rather than as a result of it or based on its acceptance.

There is no fixing the direction a herd travels. Just stay out of its way and make your own way. That's always been my thinking. Proper American individualism for the win.

But anarchic? I still can't get over referring to our draconian Borg collective of Ministry of Truth approved thought as "anarchic." That just cracks me up.

Agreed. The left isn't anarchic except when it comes to law and order and doing anything that it can in order to topple our government so they can substitute their own.

The BLMers, the Anti-Fa are the Anarchist Wing of the "Resistance"...and the P ssyHat Brigade and Indivisible crowd are their press corps and useful idiots.
