And I thought that was the point of the OP, that Tiger Children were bad for society.
No, not the point of the Op. Below is the point of the Op, copied from the Op.
"in the long term, multi-generation, pursuit of success through hyper conformity and loyalty to the institutional state at all cost, will this
lifestyle, at best, will only lead to the destruction of everything that has made the U.S. successful?"
It seems to me, that you constantly want to take what I have posted, and twist it down into a cheap shot, rather than consider what was actually
posted.
Most children who grow up under Tiger Moms will overcome the harshness of their childhoods. After a few generations, they are as Americanized as
everyone else.
The point is to stand up and say, no, you are wrong, the culture you parents fled is not better than the culture they sought out for far greater
opportunity.
To narrow the point down further, "hyper conformity and loyalty to the institutional state at all cost" is bad.
What has made the U.S. so successful, is the culture that challenges institutional dogma.
