>>1605181>I think I raise my children well with love and kindness, but yeah, as an AmericanAn American cannot raise their child with love and kindness, because your values directly contradict that goal. Teaching your child individualism teaches them to be weak and alone, directly fighting their human nature that yearns for nothing more than to rely on others. Teaching your child cynicism teaches them to distrust others and never work towards a better world, making them a slave to their more immediate impulses (which ofc brings more suffering). Teaching your children the values of capitalism teaches them to disregard human life, and engage in excessive consumption/hedonism. Every value you instill in your kid will leave them more and more miserable and maladjusted. None of that could be considered "kindness".
>One thing most Americans learn from our diverse population is accept each other's differences.That is not at all what I get from Americans... Americans love diversity, as long as "the diversity" quickly adopts American opinions and values. Which is to say that Americans love diversity as long as the diversity gets culturally genocided first.
