Yes, but it is sometimes used to dismiss any actionable insights that can be used in politics.
”Would never work here, the culture is different!”
Maybe Im just ranting…

It is a way of dismissing clear rules.
Because it’s not that it is used to attack people that are different, but it is used to deincentive bad behaviour, but by conflating the two you end up in a bad place, where incentives are…misaligned.

It seems to me Japan does just fine by having rules and sticking to their culture.
Many people admire Japanese culture. But they wouldn't have anything to admire had Japanese people not conserving and caring greatly about their culture and sticking to their rules and ways of life.
I probably won't be integrating in the Japanese culture, but I admire and respect it and the fact they still have that culture.
Aren't rules part of the culture? The culture helps strengthening the rules while the rules help strengthening the culture.
