The ugly truth is that if you want to change a culture you must permeate it. This requires a multi-generational commitment. You can not assault an opposition into compliance. You must defeat its leaders and its men and then squat upon its culture until its children know nothing other than your own culture. This is what our grandfathers understood when they placed multi-generational bases in Germany and Japan. Today's metro-sexual culture does not have the understanding nor the resolve for such a commitment.

A civilized culture must abhor violence. But it must also be ready to use it when the alternative is to ignore the suffering of others.
