"Do you think he is bringing his children up to be tolerant of our children ?
"No"
"He's telling us we've got the devil in us etc etc"


Its not what we think of them, it is what they think of us.

I picture him as blonde with a pony tail...

No, that is exactly the opposite of what I am saying. That scene sums up perfectly the whole problem. You just want debates where you can be the hero that rides in and tells everybody that things will be ok if we just respect the oppressed minority.

I am telling you the repressed minority is infact part of a towelheaded, fanatic majority that wants to wipe you out and I would like to see Russian military footage of him being vapourized. Just for shits and grins  :D

btw..you are the asian guy in the background throwing shapes as the main characters duke out  ;D

How d'ya like me now heganboy  ;D ;D

Ireland were the political and economic outcast of Europe after deciding not to join the allies in WW2. The repercussions were felt for years. It still tarnishes Ireland's reputation, and Ireland will always bow down, cap in hand to the evil global administrations, and do whatever they say because of it.  Ireland had to lick Europe's arsehole and enter the EEC in the 70s (after being turned down).

Ireland, and all countries want, and need to join the EU otherwise they'll be outcasts and the country will be fucked (moreso than it is already). In an ideal world most people would say "feck Europe", but it's not that simple.

The Germans are still raging the Republic of Ireland didn't declare war on them in 1939? Right.

As flippant as that thought may be, do you think we would have been better off declaring a side one way or the other ?

Westerners must give up on this idea of "universal human rights". The only rights due to citizens are the rights they earn through their service to the society.

But who will decide and police these rights?

Good question but why use the word "police" ..? There should be no need to police something that is self evident. The yanks might have fecked everything else up but they were right about the self-evident bit. What they got wrong was that the self-evidence was particular to a given culture which is why multi-culturalism does not work. These self-evident truths are different to different people. I know that is inconvenient to the Kumbaya Pete Seeger crew but..there you go. That's what true diversity means. Accepting differences.

I would argue that they didn't skip enlightenment they simply passed through it long before the west, recognized its extremes,  and settled for stability over disorder. This is central to their thinking. Like mao said of the French revolution, it is too early to tell.

On the "US skipped civilization" theme. Is that not the problem ? The US is a transplanted colony that have "forgotten" everything that European/Asian society have passed through to get to this point. Therefore they just don't understand the pragmatism needed to negotiate the European/Asiatic mindset. Putin understands this mindset perfectly. He has the centuries of cultural nuance that we all, as Europeans, innately understand.

You are arguing that they went from enlightenment to communism and then to the money God?

If that is the case, who knows where they will go next.

Yup. Communism was a misstep. It was a bad fit. Just because they like order does not mean they are not enterprising. In fact stability and order has seen an explosion of creative energy and commercial success.

Where they will go next ? I think they will dominate. They simply don't suffer from the same internal conflict "we" do. You may say that is a bad thing...I don't think so. If the goal is to prosper while maintaining with a strong, resilient cultural identity,  I think they have the right formula.

The Chinese are remarkable. The advances they have made in the last 20 years are incredible. The fact that they moved completely away from a set way of political and economic thinking to embrace an "enemy" mindset just empahsizes this change. Can you imagine the internal conflict this change must have caused in the minds of ordinary citizens yet they have managed it peacefully with minimal social disorder.

I think the modern western world would be incapable of such a shift.

A little poetic license is sometimes needed to provoke  ;)

I am trying to identify minds worthy of engagement. As the Americans might say, Is anyone willing to "go to bat" in defence of western democracy ?

You certainly don't seem to be of the right material. You belong more in Europes hipster army tackling the worlds despots via the like button on facebook.

An interesting article here about the decline of Western democracy.
https://www.opendemocracy.net/ernesto-gallo-giovanni-biava/western-democracy-decline-and

A précis of the decline is that people have stopped trusting the economy and the faith in markets. The glaring anomaly of monetary union without political union has become obvious. Ineffective, weak western leadership has led to people looking toward the more decisive leadership model of Russia and to wonder about the gap in society left by the abandonment or organized religion (especially in the face of the devout Islam).

They then propose solutions which, unfortunately, lean toward the usual , kumbaya nonsense however "no party leader has so far been able to grasp and articulate the sensibility of battered citizens" certainly rings a bell. However, they then appoint Pope Francis to this role  ::) which is bollocks. At the precise time that a pope is needed to restore the churches reputation and reassert the confidence of the faithful he seems more interested in spouting populist, leftist statements. Stick to poping Francis, we have enough people telling us we need to "do more" for xyz.

They then propose more transnational politics and a more active UN which seems to me to be impractical and will just amplify the EU flaws to a worldwide scale.

I think we need a reset of western democracy to the Chinese model followed by a gradual, slow restoration of "democracy". The key point is to keep the bed wetters away from power so that they don't sell us all up the river again and always keep a close eye on them thereafter.
