Your post is the most on point. The culture is way too different and especially for this community it should be obvious: the risk averse culture, the pessimism, the crabs in a bucket mentality and the relative lack of economic opportunities, especially in IT.

But if you aren't actually in one of these key places it's often a matter of imagination that you think the place you are in is similar culturally, etc.
