American culture is bad. I dont know why you would want to defend it. If Americans weren’t obsessed with “shopping and deals” believing a life of excess is owed to them they could take pride in the things they do have. If Americans humbled themselves, each dollar, each piece of technology or clothing could be cherished rather than just furture landfill. The problem is the we live our lives and garbage in garbage out. The DNC and GOP are exactly the result of the way we live.

This mind set is beyond changing but it is not human nature. Its greed. In america greed is good.
