America was founded by two distinct cultures back in the 1600's.
1. The Puritans of New England.
2. The explorers and rapscallions of Virginia.
The Puritans came as families: devoutly religious, calm, and valued security over riches. They made farms and community churches.
The explorers and criminals that founded Jamestown were all men: amoral, lived in the moment, hedonistic, risking taking, and opportunistic. They made slave plantations, sea ports, and trade stations.
Both elements combined to create the American culture we know today: On one side with rigorous laws, mega churches, an incredibly strict and powerful school system, yet on the other side pioneering new technologies, businesses, overseas wage-slave labor, and playboy millionaires every month.
America's greatest strength is the mixture of these two attitudes; on one hand capitalistic, on the other moralistic. It creates the balance between stability and risk taking that allows us to save for the future while simultaneously creating it.
All too often, America's religious and America's opportunists are at odds with each other. They would love for nothing more than to get rid of their moral counterparts. But we need each other. We need the crazy moralistic preachers to provide a backbone to our culture, and give law and order, while the moralistic need the pleasure seeking risk-takers to create the wealth that enriches everyone, and prevent the moralistic from stagnating in mediocrity (see: Islam).
It is America's conflict between these two cultural forces which have produced everything the world knows today; its amoral entertainment; its strict international law and order; its valuation of economic success; its emphasis on education and child support.
I would say that the religious and moralistic have been far too successful within the last thirty years. From the feminists destruction of little boys in school, to the religious campaigning to keep divorce laws strict and harsh punishments against drugs, Americas moralists seems to have choked out much of the Jamestown spirit.
The vast majority of men on this forum are the spiritual decedents of the Jamestown settlers. Had we arrived in Jamestown 400 years ago, we'd be out searching for booty and bitches, enslaving native Americans, and looking for ways to bring riches back to Europe.
No longer able to meet in the real world, we have collected over the internet to pool our intelligence together to find success and glory.
Don't let the naysayers tell you that you're on the wrong path with chasing women and looking for business opportunities. America needs its Jamestown element back. We need the amoral opportunists who create the world for everyone else to live in. We are the men who will create prosperity for everyone's grandchildren, and we will do so by whatever means necessary.
We come from an extremely long line of American opportunists, who have the unique character of being morally corrupt and yet mindful enough to give back to society. While not everyone can be like us, it is safe to say we're such in a minority today that we needn't worry about about chaos and corruption overtaking society.
So to those who are doing whatever it takes to succeed: Be proud. It's in your blood.
P.S. If you liked the analysis above, go read Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America (especially the second volume), which is where I stole most of the above analysis from.
