Not at all. You are putting words in my mouth I never said.

Other cultures find the Nerds funny. As the nerds mature, they become the leaders. Yes, the goofy kids that didn't like to get in trouble or do sketchy things, have a better chance of making it.

There is a culture out there, that if you show the slightest weakness, they will pounce on you.
That culture is growing exponentially.
Culture is the shared beliefs and attitudes of a group of people. Culture doesn't just seep up out of the ground. Bad people have a bad culture. Blaming culture is pointless. You should blame the people.

Peer pressure is a two way street. Some people's groups don't natively create enough positive peers. And it sure isn't the responsibility of another group or culture to prop up the other culture and not focus on its own.

No, has nothing to do with a two way street, unless they are traveling.

It gets tribal rather quickly. One culture is set up to victimize the other.
It is the reason a select demographic of American people, that make up only 13% of the entire population, commit 53% of all murders in the USA and 69% of all violent crime in the USA and being only 13% of the total population, they make up 78% of all incarcerated inmates.
Tell me it isn't culture. That thug life.
They are not victims. They are the predator.

Yes, government statistics can be tribal. I apologize for our government for keeping those damning records that point to the toxic culture, to an uncivilized society. It's tribal culture.
