Meditation is for trendy western dweebs. Only vacuous denominations of Buddhism practice it more than ten minutes daily.

I'm not sure what you're basing this on but all the major denominations in Asia meditate far more than this in a monastic routine. If you're talking about the large swathes of de facto Buddhists due to it being the national religion or whatever, then sure. But that's because they adhere more to the traditional rites and rituals of the religious aspect (which the Buddha actually teaches against clinging to in the suttas).

This is just factually wrong.
Mindfulness in plain English and What the Buddha Taught for beginning is gud

I'd be genuinely interested to see a monastic daily schedule that allowed only 10 minutes or less meditation time. From my understanding, it just seems totally absurd.
I mean, have you read the suttas. In the Palin canon suttas at least, the Buddha places so much emphasis on meditation. It really is the foundation of Buddhism.
