An ancient Greek putting a Medusa head on their masonry is basically the same as a modern putting a Juggernaut bust on their front porch, maybe with a "bitch" caption. Likewise, the austere dignified 'white' statues were painted in bright primary colours by the folk who carved them. Same palette as baby toys. Meanwhile, Americans are making fun of each other for LARPing. So obsessed with Looking Serious they can't get anything done.
I hypothesize an egg and chicken situation. They know they can't get anything done - they have no honour, it's obvious - so they obsess about at least appearing honourable. Anyone of substance sees right through them, but these are so rare it doesn't matter. Result: they can't get anything done, and now they're boring and ugly too. Even hippies are diamond-tight prudes by any genuinely cosmopolitan standard.
To accomplish anything, you need to like glory. These feelings are delicate, which make you vulnerable. If you're not totally autistic, you need friends who won't attack you for liking likeable things. You need to get the hell away from Americoids.
