    I personally think it is that western culture is a disease. We have lost our connection to nature. We don’t have a community. We don’t have a family. We are exceedingly living in Ayn Rands dystopian individualist bullshit and it is corrupting on the soul.

      LOL, “Western culture is a disease?” Seriously? You label a huge number of the world’s cultures a disease and don’t think for a tenth of a second that you might be generalizing a bit? Painting with too broad a brush?

      Man, grow up a bit before you start spouting off such ignorance online.

        😅 right some hyperbole there or what! I actually don’t disagree with the rest of that comment about nature and community but you really lose people by starting with wild statements like western culture is a disease! It’s sad because they probably had some decent points (nature, community etc) but override that with the flair of the dramatic and it’s hard to take seriously!
