- martini333 3y agoIf by "non-government-approved culture" you mean crime, then yes.
- jgeada 3y agoDo not migrate into a country if you're not prepared to adopt their culture. Seems straightforward to me.
- anthk 3y agoIf your culture makes women and LGBT people inferior, to hell with that culture, the same way the Western world tried to do with die-hard Church sickos two centuries ago in the French Revolution. OFC changes to women didn't come overnight, but it was a tiny step on the right direction.

- anthk 3y agoAny culture which puts their own citizens under a subhuman second class one should be ultimately fined and sanctioned, of course. Romanticism sucks. You maybe as an American idolize old cultures and traits; as an European, I laugh on that supposed tradition praising the idiocy and being a backwards hick over a progressive reality. Keep your tradition to Holidays, music and dance lores and the rest of inocuous folklore, that's fine. But don't ever try to bring these old values back, no one with proper sanity would ever want to go back to the XIX century.

- bovermyer 3y agoAnd who are you to define what "progressive" is? What gave you the right to decide what is good and correct, and what is not?
- bovermyer 3y agoIt's one thing to discourage or eliminate aspects of a culture. It's entirely another to eliminate the whole culture. The lens I generally use is "does this part of a culture hurt others?" If so, then yes, it should be phased out. If not, I don't see the harm in leaving it alone.
