    And I am telling you that the cultural aspects came from a desire from the ruling class to support freedom for Capitalists to do what they want, and morally justify it. That’s why these values never seem to actually be supported, just gestured towards.

      So you admit that those cultural aspects are actually there. Which are failed when they are used to support the ruling class.

      Which was my point.

        They succeed in their purpose, to obscure the systems that uphold the ruling class. These cultural values didn’t appear out of thin air, but deliberately to preserve the wealthy Capitalists that founded the country.
