Maybe it's not the culture that does it, maybe there's an inherent, slight difference in genes within a species that causes cultural differences to arise (the ones that don't depend on the local natural environment, like food preferences, that is. Which way to read things is pretty arbitrary; another species might write in spirals or something - but visually different populations within that species might start their spirals differently (outward vs inward, let's say).
I recall an experiment done with infants where they would cover the nose and see whether the infant would try to remove the obstruction or simply open their mouths instead. Asian infants overwhelmingly did the latter. But Idk what study this was specifically so don't quote me on that.
Note that the current war isn't so much an economic one (capitalism vs Marxist/Bolshevist communism) like the Cold War was, it's a social war -- individualism vs communalism.
I've started to suspect that the whole thing with flamboyant faggotry, sexual identity bullshit, etc, is a form of accellerationism fed to us by the communalists - the message being "look at how ridiculous individual liberty is - it's just anarchy, chaos, and degeneracy!" It's part and parcel of breaking down society so that white humans will accept more communalism.
Ever notice what the difference is between Western and Eastern spiritual philosophy is? It's to do with determinism vs free will, and the existence of the individual vs individuality being an illusion.
Eastern reincanation teaches that any sense of "you" is an illusion, the shapeless soul has no sense of self, species, or anything else, and the end goal of existence is to eventually give up that individuality to Become One with Nirvana or whatever they want to call it. When Westerners imagine it, there's always a discrete "you" that persists from life to life and back to the Afterlife, no matter what body you're born into (and I think this is the root reason for people getting confused about what they are - the memory wiping process isn't perfect, and is maybe breaking down. Too many other species are being forced against their will into, say, human bodies, and remember all those aborted Chinese girls?)
Islam is "eastern" in the sense that it believes in determinism - that everything was written before God even existed (think Elder Scrolls - that's the Koran in their view.) You are an infidel so that Muslims can have a target for to get them a ticket to Paradise ....
