Well I think western culture has a lot of good values, and to an extent they've had a positive influence in loosening some of the bad restrictions a number of traditional cultures have had. But it seems like those values have been brought out of a proper relation to one another, where one's moral tastebuds have become monochromatic and people care about authority at the expense of all other values, or about care and pleasantness at the expense of all other values, or their in-group solely, etc. And, yes, "freedom" and all that. Both the virtues and vices have been unleashed and rampage unchecked, often in strange combinations. I'm thinking for example of people who are highly sexually promiscuous but are also religious recyclers and extremely self-conscious about their carbon footprint day-to-day. Or those stereotypical fundamentalists who are found to be closeted gays and so on. The love and care of social justice warriors toward marginalized groups and their unconscious cruelty to any western cultural values which existed before the sixties.
