This is scary, we are loosing diversity at an incredible rate.
I'm much more excited by the fact that information was able to quickly traverse national and language barriers, making it's way all around the globe to catch up with where it began in such a short time. That's pretty amazing if you ask me!
Harder to see the harm in it when it's your culture that's becoming the monoculture. That's the "good one"!
That does not mean they do not have heavy influences from their own (and from a quick surf-by Japanese) culture - lots of threads on photos from the 70s and what was it like then.
They will export back. Just because all the money in Hollywood is forcing young pretty WASP vampires at us does not mean its the only way to express oneself
I feel a powerful need to poke at people, especially smart ones, when they seem to be knee jerk supporting the status quo. Just a good/bad habit of mine.
Not all diversity is positive - and given that the norms on the forums this passed through are themselves widely different is a indication of how culture will disconnect slightly from geography.
A genepool is strong if it has variety and if it can spread the beneficial genes widely. This can be dichotomous, but trust me 4chan proves generating a wide variety of memes quickly is something we can do.
What on earth would make you think that this leap "stands to reason"?
