Traditions, Culture and the Anti-Progress Critique

There is this classical false premise assertion that archaic traditions and cultural habits and practices cannot and should not be examined and criticized on the merits, lest the critic and polemicist comes across as elitist and imperialist in all the various critical forms. So the consequences is a sort of manipulative collusion by international and the specific nation status quo with on the one hand reactionary and anti-progress traditions and culture are defended and tolerated as national pride for the subjects as a means of defiance against their lot, while on the other the internationalist on both sides of the dynamic conveniently exploit the rewards of progress under the guise of facilitating the means of business.

There is a typical refrain in the so-called under-developed Third-World as it clings to reactionary traditions and cultural-impracticalities as Polemic against the industrialized West and it's legacy of stunting, stymying and retarding the self-deterministic dynamic of the Third World: That anything Western is wrong and any member of it's citizenry pursuing Western applications is a national traitor.

This mindset and it's dynamic is the dialectical bane of the Human-Condition on both sides of it's determination. Because it conditionalizes progress in a manner that not only is it anti-but it supports backwardness and it's myriad expressions of prejudice in a manner that enables Imperialism and it's exploitation.
