It is not obvious, but the end game of the socialists–the nihilists–who push so hard for the eradication of American culture is the end of all other cultures as well. They don’t want Mexicans to behave like Mexicans (as if such a diverse nation could be reduced to some uniform set of behaviors in the first place), or African Americans like African Americans. Everything must be the same.
I was watching this today in my mind, in a clear sky that was raining, and it occurred to me that what we want is negotiation. What we want, really, is the reconciliation of varying truth and behavioral narratives (truth and behavior can be separated, as in ritual).
What do we do when we negotiate a price? We compare two different desire sets, and reconcile them in such a way that in a condition of freedom both are satisfied. Is the negotiation of culture any different?
Why is American culture so ubiquitous? Simple: to many people, it has value. We are the ones who solved the problem of self government, even if we are being overrun at the moment by fools. We don’t have to compel our culture: it sells itself.
Buddhists never used the military to spread their creed, but there it was: all over Asia, including Central Asia. The Mongolian hordes fell in love with Tibetan Buddhism, and–uniquely for them, as far as I know–left the Tibetans alone, and implemented Lamaism in their own social order.
In negotiation, you can still be you, and I can still be me. In socialism, this is against the rules. No one can exist with an identity not prescribed for them by the pseudo-scientists who have gained control of the system through brutality and lies.
