What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Warning in Post #8023**

Man what a wall of text made of word salad…

By the western culture of self hatred I clearly didn't imply that the western culture is self hatred. But within the modern western culture there is a current of self-hating, hating the history, hating the achievements of our ancestors and hating what we are, and hating the fact that the western culture is the most advanced culture of Earth - of course without openly admit to it. But just how Douglas Murray said once - approximate quote - "the best way to find appreciation for western culture is to find yourself in a place that lacks it". Unfortunately, some of those places are now appearing all over western Europe.

You could just have said your opinions are informed by that withered ballbag and saved both your time and mine as I wouldn’t have bothered to try and make sense of the original comment, let alone responded to it.

Said to the tune of Rule Brittannia! This sounds so colonial and how "the savages have to be tamed" its incredible. What are the "achievements" of our ancestors we shouldnt be hating that we are?

There have been videos coming into my algorithm on YT of guys confronting pickpockets, scammers and other misc. blights on towns and cities across Europe.

He is as obnoxious as they are but I think everyone should be doing this kind of thing. As societies we are so guilty of tip toeing around people doing unwelcome sh*te. Everyone should be unapologetically telling these people to FRO.

There are a large cohort of people who like to claim western civilization is a large part of what is wrong with humanity but then when asked what is the better alternative they of course are stumped because up to now there isn't a better alternative.

Today Lewis Hamilton said that the African continent needs to "unite and take (Africa) back from the French, Spanish, Portuguese and the British" which is an odd thing to say seeing as this has already happened so maybe he was looking at a map from 100 years ago and thought it was a current map. Based on how South Africa and Zimbabwe have fared since getting rid of the colonial influence and control in their countries there is a strong argument to be made that maybe the European influence should return in those countries.

Is Lewis going to leave his Monaco mansion to help his brothers rise up and take Africa back?

I am in no way saying the ANC were great nor am i saying theres no problems in SA at the moment but I think you need to read a little about SAs economy in the early 90s. Modern and developed are not words most would have used.

What caused colonised counties to need progress in the first place? Ill give you a clue the answer is in the question.

Where did you learn your history?! nearly all of those things you listed were first found in places that are now modern day Middle East (Iraq) or North Africa!

Also the earliest most well documented evidence of human sacrifice was in Europe.

Best for who?? Those advances you alude to were built to extract resources and wealth and control the native population, not for the good of South Africa or Zimbabwe? Its like being happy your house was robbed and looted cause the robber swept your floor.

It didnt matter what happened to those savages though right, cause it was all in the name of Gold, God and Glory?

there is at least one senior Muslim cleric that has claimed that when there becomes a situation in Ireland where Muslims become the majority, that sharia law ‘should’ rule Ireland… not ‘could’, not ‘might’, ‘should rule’..were their words…

If you have people in positions of power and influence actively advocating for it….

I dont like the way the phrase "Western culture" is used. In reality, what we're talking about is modernisation. For example, those Asia Pacific countries that are or have developed in recent years have not become "Westernised" - they have become modern. And as we can see in Japan, Korea etc. they do not lose their unique culture by modernising.

Imagine saying this, even if it's just to feel edgy.

What were we saying a couple of pages ago about 'self-hating' sentiment?

There's people coming from Dubai and there's people that were stranded on Dubai on a stopover to somewhere else e.g. Australia or India - tech workers of various ethnicity including Irish travel there for business reasons.

But those who relocated themselves in that posh shithole should be charged with the cost.
