I have to say, this is a hundred percent true, the Media would better serve us if they took this to heart.

This man DOESN'T BELIEVE CULTURE EVOLVES.

[@josephchellis4117]

He does, in a way. The specifics of a culture might change for instance, the secularization of Yankeedom meant that the Puritan religion doesn't have as much of explicit influence as it use to, but that sorta metaculture of the Puritans (i.e. hard work, the common good, belief in the community, social engineering) remains dominate in the northeast. If you haven't read American Nation I would highly recommend.

​@@josephchellis4117 I find out crazy how Yankeedom is increasingly atheist these dates as compared to Appalachia and Deep South.
