The English language, global consumer-capitalism, and modern communication has ruined culture worldwide.
/eire/
tell me more
They have not ruined culture
Well, it's several connected issues really.
It boils down to:
>English
A universal language is putting all of the world's eggs in one basket culturally speaking. Multipolarity reduces diversity of output in favour of massed quantity, and it's like putting all the healthy people in one room with a diseased person who coughs and sneezes constantly and loudly directly into the faces of the captive audience. The noise bombardment means they can't think, the locked doors mean they can't move, and they can't be anything but a vessel for the diseases the pollution.
>global consumer-capitalism
The independent institutions of society in the west have been broken down for implicit or explicit ideological reasons since at least the reformation, for essentially the same reason as languages have been suppressed and corrupted. The end-goal, whose essence precedes the existence of ideological justifiers, will draw culture one-way, towards a world where human beings are reduced to maximum economic "utility". Once, the limits of that would have been considered individualism and isolation, but technology will eventually see it that the human being is reduced into its constituent parts for the purposes of social-economic utility.
>modern communication
Everything preceding the world of modern communication was built to exist in a world where the limits of communication were much greater than they are nowadays. The limitations imposed an order on the systems that developed within the possibility of communication. Technology removes those limitations, and so, into this new "space" that is opened up by it, humanity will flow. But this removal of limits means that impositions that were natural will no longer be there with the force of natural law, and so the method of human existence enforced by the limitations of an essentially natural form of existence will be removed along with it, and human existence will come to be defined not by nature's restrictive limitations, but the limitations of some 'principle(s)' which enforce themselves through Darwinian processes stronger than the humans who embrace these technologies will be able to resist. People will think themselves decision-makers when principles they aren't logically aware of overthrow the reality they are making an illusion.
>unipolarity reduces
>the pollution produces
Sorry, I'm not awake yet.
There is no negative to having a single global culture and many positives.
>There is no negative to having a single global culture
It could be a shit culture (like American culture is).
you actually took time to type that
With a single global culture we would have no frame of reference as to whether it is good or bad, it would be all we know in modern times so it'd be neither.
It'd be like saying the Milky Way is a "shit" galaxy.
