I subscribe to Jon’s Substack articles and read him daily while enjoying both my coffee and his work. He’s one clever surgeon at splitting open narratives.
I can’t speak for non-western cultures because I am not very familiar with them, but Western society eats its own young big time in so many variant ways. It is appalling because most people don’t see it, let alone want to talk about it. I am amazed how destructive our curlture is against the most vulnerable we should be protecting. It is the biggest win from our adversaries (human or otherwise) that humanity offers their children on a platter without even realising! Our leaders fall over one another to emulate a historical moustache’s man ideology, and fiercely deny it is so and project it on political adversaries! Common Wealth, America and Europe, all are moustache man ideology driven on dial 11!
