Corporate Capitalists Killed American Identity

[KenH]

“The same cultural killer is responsible for all the assaults on American identity visible as daily routine, from environmental destruction to the endangerment of independent retailers and “mom and pop” shops. That culprit is corporate capitalism. It is a large entity that, like any killer, justifies its death toll with dogmatic claims of ideology. “Progress,” everyone from the owner of the local diner to the out-of-work art teacher is told, has no room for you. ...

Those concerned about tradition and cultural longevity can lament immigration and condemn “open borders.” But if they are serious about American identity, they should begin and end with the villainous corporate enterprise that has waged war on it since the late 19th century.“

Author laments the degradation of the American Identity yet never defines what it is. How do we know we've lost it if it's never defined?

I think he is saying it was this:

“Few were as celebratory over the potential for meaning and purpose in American culture as Whitman, who drew profound inspiration from America’s natural beauty and regional diversity.”

Your disdain for his article doesn’t make the author a liberal. I am not familiar with the author. I think it is an interesting article on a conservative website.

I'm sure you do.
