Dallas would be a great case study... -
5/15/2018Dallas would be a great case study for anthropologists. A Rule book on how not to create a great society.
Innate tribalism is very apparent in D. Very self absorbed. All about me, me, me and my tribe. If you are not part of tribe you are looked at with suspicion.
Materialistic, innate desire of breeding and doing what you’re told are also common traits. A city of followers. Park Cities is possibly the epicenter of this. It is both comical and disturbing at the same time. They seem very suspicious of people that are not part of their tribe. They seem to even feed on it.
Others have commented how racist it is. I would add that this is from all sides. Whites are certainly not the only ones guilty of this. All sides seem to feed off of each other's racism.
It is also a very sexist city. Again both sides seem equally culpable of this. Overlying both of these is a strong xenophobic mentality. Have heard said many times that the circle the wagons mentality is very much alive and well in D.
There is good reason why no great universities exist here. Intellectualism and free thought are not part of the core tenets of Dallas.
The irony that ALL of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth are so prevalent in Dallas culture. This, in a city that likes to pride itself on Christian values. Perhaps they misread that as the seven requirements of Dallas-ism. Their churches seem to prefer to skip that part and instead focus on spreading hatred and tribalism.
In the words of JC, 'Oh lord forgive them for they know not what they do!'.

5/14/2018Sounds so much like comments I hear from people from Dallas. I guess it's all relative though, if you come from someplace worse it probably seems great. For many though, Dallas is a step down.
