The us-them mentality.

Commercialism.

Totalitarianism.

Following the last one, the entire concept of "authority" and one person being more "successful" than another.

"The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little."

Religion. (no discussion, I know religious people do not agree, this is a thread for stating opinions)

Sacristy, and the "unless your existence is centred around working your ass of, you're a parasite" mentality, although one could argue that's an unavoidable consequence of biology and the laws of nature rather than a cultural trait.

How people keep insisting and acting upon that "real life" is more important than anything else, despite that a large portion of philosophy clearly implies it is not the case, and that nowadays you can do anything over the web. Did people learn nothing from postmodernism?

In fact, I find it hard to think of and facet of human  culture or the human condition in general that is not utterly despiseable.

Resligeon.

Hm....

Mispp3lengs.

[Vester]

Freaking crab mentality.

US-centrism.

I find this incredibly ironic, because the people who "have a life", spend it sitting outside stores or behind schools making rude remarks about the people who walk by with their "friends*".

At least here in Toronto, all the "gangstaz" think if you play video games your a loser and have no life, and that you should go out.
When they go out, they do less than me when I go out.

When I go out, I have a reason to and am not just fucking around, doing nothing and wasting my life smoking pot and being an asshole.


Do those people actually ever DO anything?

[kholhaus]

They threaten to pop a cap in yo' ass.

Gangztas in my country are typically rich kids with a lot of spare time or actual gangsters who will icepick you to death given slight provocation.

Here they are BET and MTV watching average kids who want to be tough and cool, and don't realize that everyone else hates them and thinks that they are assholes and retards.

So they buy 200$ dollar T-shirts with the words "50 Cent" on them, sit around at the entrances to stores and give "Ima knife you" looks when you walk by, and treat their "bitches" like trash.

[kholhaus]

Here, there are no wannabes. Just wackos that roam the streets and actual underground gangs. If you leave the gang, you get shot. If you stay in the gang, you get shot.

So the moral is, don't get shot.

Everything mentioned above.
And Corporate Greed, Moral Guardians, society itself, people, etcetera, yes, I'm a misanthrope.

So you're saying the worst example of culture is culture?

Deep.

Yes.
Also, 4chan is modern art.

That's actually pretty damn meta.

C.S. Lewis hated moral guardians.

[Vester]

We see that from your sig, yes. 

Just remembered another thing I hate.

Patriarchal society.

And matriarchal. Both of them suck.
That's why I like the internet. Gender doesn't matter.
