the west is in full scale culture annihilation mode. links from the current generation to their ancestors are constantly sabotaged, forcing the repetition of societal mistakes, thus producing generational suffering to be mined for profits. I wonder how youths behave in the east, and what they consider to be cool. it would be interesting to compare cultural methods of societal programming (eg. the west stifles youth uprising by promoting gangster rap & idolizing petty crime)
