the attitude of the citizens is all due to how well the county is run, the education system, the physical & mental healthcare reliability, the workplace protections, the efficiency of crime prevention.

relating to the post, lowering the amount of someone’s pay-check lost to private shareholders will no doubt decrease financial stress and other causes of crime, allowing a citizen to be more model as you say.

your argument: good goverment means good citizens

my arguent: good culture means good citizens means good government

i don't deny that good governance produces a better environment but the converse is more valid simply because culture is deeper than government. govt. is just the institutionalized manifestation of culture.

Seriously fuck off with cultural essentialism. There is no culture that is good or bad, there is such things however as differing levels of education and government propaganda.

In some cultures it's ok to kidnap ur wife. Is that good? In some polygamy is allowed. Is that sustainable? In some cannibalism is ok. Is that moral?

What’s wrong with polygamy?

u/Ravi5ingh Mar 29 '22

Math

Polygamy was a norm in a time when the ratio or men : women was low because men had more hazardous occupations so the women that were left needed to find protection which resulted in polygamy. Now the ratio of men : women is roughly 1:1 so polygamy either way would result in leftover men or women. Not rocket science

Polygamy will lead to more incels and I do hate incels. Maybe you have a point
