Why do americans do this?

>>13905474
Yes, it got them a government that respects the religious, spiritual and philosophical beliefs of its own people. China's spiritual heritage was shattered to pieces during the cultural revolution (which their bugpeople mentality made them extra susceptible to), countless texts and artwork destroyed, countless knowledge lost. That's why Chinese people nowadays are materialist drones who eat gutter oil, obsess over designer clothing and run over toddlers without stopping, the average Chink doesn't know shit about Taoism and whatever of philosophical/esoteric Taoism that still existed in the 20th century was destroyed by Red Guards when they disemboweled Taoist priests and burned down their monasteries.

Is there a correlation between a government that respects religious, spiritual and philosophical beliefs and people shitting on the streets then? Every year China street shitter are less and less, one can say the old fucks that never caught up are just dying, while India street shitting is off the roof.

>while India street shitting is off the roof.
that's not true, in the last 5 years there has been a huge toilet building spree, now almost all dwellings including poor farmers have toilets, also it's Chinese tourists (even middle-class and rich ones) who are internationally infamous for shitting in the public places they visit, not Indians.

Those old folks are products of the cultural revolution. They're renowned for that. See Taiwan for what traditional Chinese culture in the modern world might look like.

Tradition is temporary, Shit is eternal. That’s the real truth.

The modern Indians are related to the ancient ones just as much as an Anglo is related to the celts of the British Isles, or a modern Greek to the Greeks of ancient times : not at all anymore.
