I think he is getting into his litigator mode. It is taxing to defend the indefensible.

Ahh yes. I don't know why Operation Market Garden comes to mind so readily when I think about the brilliance of British military strategy.....
....perhaps because it is so iconic?
I've tolerated your disrespect of British culture up until now, but you went a bridge too far with that comment.
Perhaps we did.Must have missed it again.

If we want to make this thread great again, we will have to drain the swamp.
They're tsk, tsking, you're advocating actually abridging our rights!?The thread derailed when the news cycle quit.
There is nothing new. Brits got bashed because they continue to tsk, tsk our rights as if their opinion should be given weight by a colony that threw them out.
I don't think it is necessary to compare cultures to some sort of "perfect." Rather, the qualities of each can be evaluated with respect to each other.
Having said that, I think such discussions are boring as heck and generally devolve into pure opinion.
Kinda like trying to determine which "language" is better or more modern.
I was wondering how the flip we went from Las Vegas Shooting to Britain Sucks, No it doesn't, when I made it to your post. This one isn't just off the rails, it's going the wrong direction.
Back on track, doesn't seem odd we still don't know much about motive?
Was this psycho that good about not leaving a digital footprint?
Does his agenda not sit well with some powerful peeps?
I just find it hard to believe somebody with no bad history (that I've read about), suddenly flips the "nutter" switch, & decides to become a mass murderer.

If we're going to talk policy, which is what the cultural revolution is all about, of course it becomes of interest then which cultures have produced better results. This is measurable.
I think it's fine, like Alpo has done, to talk about some of the failures of Western culture. But in terms of comparison, we're not comparing each one against perfection, to build a list of where they've fallen short. I suppose that could be useful but inefficient. We're comparing cultures' accomplishments vs failures. Is there an existing culture today, given all the pluses and minuses, that Alpo would rather live in than Western culture?
Just because Britain ruled over a good chunk of the known world at one time doesn't equate them with "Western culture" as you put it. There is much more to western civilization than Britain....and you know better. I also do not equate British accomplishments with the accomplishments of the USA. I live here. I like it here, even if some internet philosophers get confused on terms.
