re: "Western Civilization" has demonstrated its superiority in many areas

we're talking about feudal/imperial societies here. they hadn't advanced passed that

Neither have the aboriginal Australians. But I'd lay money that long after the white people have all disappeared from their lands, the aborigines will still be there. To talk to them, it seems like they're just waiting. Almost as if they're saying, "Well, these white people won't be around in 10,000 years, so we'll just sit tight and wait them out."

So the question is, what are the criteria for judging a culture? It's hard to even come up with an objective set of criteria without inherent bias.

you're associating larger concepts to individuals and that's your flaw, here

Well yeah. I'm trying to sum up an incredible amount of history, and I think you and I will agree to its theme.

the concept of "the West" is legitimately under attack and anti-Western ideas are taking over Western nations

Which ideas?

and yes you can spin this anti-West dogma into a "criticism" but it's much more than that

Fundamentally that is what it is. I for one think social media amplifies its importance, to the degree that I'm skeptical that anyone supports these ideas in large numbers.

quote:

---

Which ideas?

---

The idea that western culture should be summarily rejected and destroyed due to the fact it was created by the white man.

It's the ultimate expression of "throw the baby out with the bath water"

But like I said, it has very little to do with honest critique of western society, and everything to do with gaining power.

Well, if you could look at the cultures that sustained the development of humankind for the last 100,000 years of our existence, could you say our is better than those that allowed us to thrive for so long?

"Culturally", nobody is really able to go back much further than 5,000 or so years.

Western ideals.. absolutely not.

But the concept of west = white is disingenuous and tbh disgusting. Its also rare and the opposite of widespread

No question that Western culture is superior. Not even close.

let's be clear

this idea is promoted by the new Left. they've chosen to associate West with White for the power of guilt

I agree. I think various extremes try to profit on the conflation of the idea, though.

100%

but there simply aren't enough legitimate white supremacists to really make a mark. their existence has been amplified an insane amount

Yes. The answer is yes. The campaign of Indoctrination and Subversion has succeeded beyond all expectation. The PSYOP masters were right: a properly indoctrinated population can be made to embrace and believe with a burning religious fervor ANY absurdity that one can imagine.
