I'm so curious where you're from cause your rare non-kpop posts are so overtly Western chauvinistic. I thought maybe somewhere in Europe but then you'll have like users from like Malaysia be like "WEST IS BEST!! I WISH A WESTERN NATION CAME AND TOOK OVER MY COUNTRY RIGHT NOW! BOMB THE BARBARIANS OUT OF POWER!!" like "ohh??" 6
Taylena Posted August 9 Posted August 9 I propose we start by eradicating NazIsrael and see how it goes...

Luckitty Posted August 9 Posted August 9 I agree 1 hour ago, Illuminati said: I agree, please DO start moving out of the west in droves. I too wish them luck on their journey to find a place free of war and history, a blank slate where every religion and race is treated equally, where the concept of one God isn't inherently promoting superiority over other religions We're not going anywhere, stay mad 1

Orsay Posted August 9 Posted August 9 luckily politics that a person with a child could/would never hold are doomed to the margins It's just ironic that a website centered on American pop culture would have so many users with strong enough cognitive dissonance to convince themselves that they truly hate the west. Truly no wisdom whatsoever to understand that "the west" is not unique in its propensity for crimes and wrongdoings, and that whatever they might want to replace it with is almost definitely going to be worse 1 1

Why can't Western society exist without existing off the exploitation of nations in the periphery? 1 3

The quote in OP at least calls for "the eradication of Western civilization" though, not a restructuring I agree actually that all efforts should be made to retract the destructive claws of US imperialism and the exploitation that is its bread and butter. But burning the whole thing down is scary to 99% of the population and amounts to fighting fire with fire
