I'm asking you what your definition of Western culture' is. Specifically traits of this culture. In your own words.
The fact you cant do it, is telling.
I'll go with this definition:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/western_culture.htm
From that article:
So Hitler, Franco, Salazar, Napoleon, Mussolini etc...
Russia is part of "the West"?Free history lesson: the West banded together to stop Hitler.
You should read up on it. Its interesting.
Sometimes you think you are being clever. You should probably stop.
Russia is part of "the West"?
Good guy Stalin who was totally not a murderous dictator defeated bad guy Hitler who was a murderous dictator.
Looks to me if you want to get things done you need a little bit of illiberalism. Not the modern nonsense of liberalism where everyone is supposed to get along.
Never, as far as I'm aware, but you made the claim, you tell me.At which time in history ?

You have displayed appalling ignorance of logic, language and history, but don't worry, just keep digging if you feel you must.I didnt actually. I said the West banded together.
If you knew your history you would know Russia was invaded. They didnt join forces with the US, UK and Australia (amongst others).
In fact after Patton was done defeating the Germans he wanted to go take care of the Russians. Just needed his tanks refuelled.
Anyway, I hope this thread is more about lefties dumbing themselves down to win a bad argument rather than actually being as ignorant as they appear.

FFS, Hitler was "the West", as were Mussolini, Salazar, Franco and the rest.So the West didnt band together to defeat Hitler?
Germany didnt invade Russia?
Patton didnt want America to push on and take Moscow ?
If you want appalljng, look at Mal's last 20 or 30 posts.
FFS, Hitler was "the West", as were Mussolini, Salazar, Franco and the rest.
As were, inter alia, Marx and Engels, just to take a couple of examples.
Christ wasn't.
All those "christian" arseholes who burned and slaughtered thousands of other "christians" to prove that they were right about what he said, and the dead were wrong - they were "the West".
The Viking barbarians were, as were any number of other obnoxious pricks, from the Crusaders onwards.
Russia wasn't, either before or after it played a major part in defeating Hitler.
The trouble with people who laud "Western Culcha" is that they want to pick and choose what's in it, by spuriously defining it to exclude the bits they don't like, and then re-writing history as well.
You can pick and choose, it’s a choice and advancement.FFS, Hitler was "the West", as were Mussolini, Salazar, Franco and the rest.

Nazism.So without picking and choosing Id love you to list the Western ideals Hitler lived by.
I guess he was a Vegetarian ahead of his time?
How can Christians be the West and not Russia? Has Russia not been Christian for 1000 years?FFS, Hitler was "the West", as were Mussolini, Salazar, Franco and the rest.

This is what is wrong with the right wing mentality. No ability to ever accept responsibility or fault. No ability to self critique and strive for something else. Anything bad is OTHER. You only compromise once it's to late.So without picking and choosing Id love you to list the Western ideals Hitler lived by.

Why can the German people and state acknowledge their mistakes, take responsibility for them, pay billions of dollars of reparations for them, and eventually reconcile with them. Yet some Australian on bigfooty thinks Nazis/fascism is some sort of OUTSIDE expression (of course by brown people) that infected a western culture.Is an inability to answer the question posed what is wrong with left wing mentality?
Ignore the question and go for the personal attack?
Hitler was described as an example of a Western leader. I pointed out that the West banded together to stop him.
Someone weighed in with "Ahhhh but Russia" which has nothing to do with what I said because Russia was invaded. They didnt join the West in choosing to stop Hitler. Schools really do need to focus more on practical learning and less on feel-good rubbish.
So anyway, what Western ideals do you think Hitler most espoused?
Maybe we could swing this back on topic and ponder whether his authoritarian rule was more closely related to say an Islamic Middle Eastern country.

Nazism was two things
- A response to economic hardship which came in the form of biological race based totalitarianism
- An expression of outdated western imperialism
Well it seemed like we had but this last few years are a bit concerning so who knows.So the west grew up and realised the wrongs?
When will Islam do that ?
..... and the libertarian will add nothing of value as per usual. pure though experiment and denial of the systemicA civilised mind refutes, debates or ignores, they never call to censor another human being.
No human on Earth is wise enough to tell another human being what they can think, write or say.
