This is good shit XHS. I have been thinking about the same thing when it comes to contemporary American politics and what theoretically comes after. Being a really young but incredibly pervasive institution, I do often wonder how a radical reform process would even go in as reaction-as-default-fo-culture country as the U.S.
It should not surprise you to see that progressive stances like LGBT acceptance also occurred the fastest in a country like the US, but at the same time it is also tenuous, and it can easily go the other way just as fast. The civilizational DNA, as we can call it, is still young and malleable.
It is true that the US is founded on white supremacy and colonialism but if you compare it to the lengthy history of an ancient civilization like China, there are still plenty of opportunities for change before the culture becomes entrenched, at which point it becomes an uphill battle. I feel like it’s actually harder for European culture to change for this reason.
