White culture honestly feels like it's just been "capitalism culture" for a long, long time now. White festivals (eg Christmas, Valentine's Day) are often heavily focused on consumption, and some emerging white festivals (eg "Black Friday") seem to be *solely* about consumption.
A lot of our culture and heritage has been pushed aside because it's not profitable. I've no doubt that leaving people feeling empty is *great* for selling them things as well.
