Because, if we acknowledge that more than one culture exists, then we will attempt to compare them. However, as everyone knows, all peoples are equal in all ways - any other conclusion is literally fascist and deserving of public shaming. Thus there is no culture because there are no differences.

Wait, so as an American I read reports of schools in France and how they feed the children better, more nutritious food all while teaching them some table manners. My appreciation of this "better" culture of food and dining makes me a fascist? You're making some really sweeping and baseless assertions.

Halt, fascist! You require reeducation.

Of course my comment is making sweeping and baseless assumptions. It is my attempt to sarcastically express the zeitgeist.

Not quite, there's some complexity involved here that was left out. For starters, it is only Westerners, and predominantly younger people, who believe such obviously silly things. Secondly, it is possible for Western cultures to be objectively worse, but(!) this in no means implies that there are differences in cultures. If that seems illogical to you, it means you just need more reeducation. It can often be helpful to feel about it, rather than think about it, thinking can fill your head with all sorts of crazy ideas.

Ah yes reeducation, I forgot I'm just some idiotic, unenlightened American.

There's quite a lot of sarcasm in the above replies, in case you (or others!) missed it; GP and others are laughing at those that claim these sorts of thoughts are fascist or dangerous, not actually saying you fall afoul of it

I seriously cannot tell anymore.
