Passive culture

Not glorifying passive culture means simply not examining/implying power of anything based on race, gender, sexuality, or wealth
In America, they argue countlessly of Trump vs Biden, Left vs Right, Woke vs Racist, Straight vs Gay. Here, we never argue about that, it's passive culture, and Putin and Xi never laugh at us.

The Culture Game

A game of social acceptance amongst piers, primarily played by middle aged mothers. The game involves; Performing activities simply to brag about them to other mothers, trying to create a false image of a perfect family to the outside world and pretending to care about certain socially acceptable things.

An example of a mother playing "The Culture Game" is when she drags her family to a museum, that she has no interest in, only to brag about it to her friends and tell them how "insightful" and "refreshing" it was. Another example is when a mother forces her children to attend a gathering even if the children have no connection to the people who will be at the gathering, simply to uphold the image of the perfect family.

The Culture Game comes from a place of longing for social acceptance and fear of rejection. The middle aged mothers are scared of being honest and truthful with their piers, scared to admit fault, disinterest and show weakness, which results in them dragging their families through the mud to keep up the facade.
"I can't believe that mom is playing The Culture Game with aunt Karen again"
"Yeah, she doesn't even like wine, but I guess her pride is more important than her taste.."

When someone doesn’t like the culture, they get super defensive about it and if it’s their friend, they unfriend them. In rare cases, they may even be part of the buddhist religion.
