Curious, as a European, what do you find wrong with some of the practices in SV? Genuinely interested in hearing your perspective (perhaps if you elaborate and keep it objective as possible you'll avoid some of the mass downvotes).
If you're really curious, you can take a look at my post history - if you go far back enough you might find a few rants on it.
But it has a lot to do with culture. Adopted traits that are only there to serve themselves. And since culture is by definition subjective, I can't really say anything bad about it now, can I?
