Does it bother you?

I have no time for the grandiose

Then, what do you have the time to?

What is your opinion on concepts like the equality of the people, the civil liberty, the rule of law and even democracy itself?

You can be democratic but not a democracy.

As far as I see it, this guy,Rosenberg, has some very valid points to make, and he does so in extensive and thorough manner.

So how do YOU people propose to address his concerns?

How about we don't

What should do you think will happen if a bunch of idiots took all power and started slaughtering people while the crowds cheered at them?

Well that's quite an escalation

Do you know why there are no democracies in the Middle East, at least, viable ones?

Because of Islam

I tell you.

Because if you just give the people of the region with their cultural background and their religious believes the freedom to choose "by themselves" their leaders they will vote in the most fanatical and bloodthirsty bastards available who will fuck up the country so bad they will have to revert back to their primitive tribalistic existence.

But here is the think.

revert? <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

These people LOVE to live in tribes. It's their "culture" to say the least.

Violence and bloodshed doesn't bother them. They thrive under it.

I doubt they thrive

Un unveiled woman is much more of a thing, than having a child bride or torturing your slave.

It's what they are used to.

So why does that pertain to people in the West?

Imagine giving freedoms and liberty to such of a culture, what should happen then?

Cause you think your ideas are universal and they can work for all and anywhere.

Well, truth is-they don't!

Well they can under the right conditions.

So much nonsense

Such wild claims about human nature

"Look at these barbarians, they're backwards because of their genetics"

Derp

Societies are different and people-diverse. So as Mr. Rosenberg says, and here he is quite right of it, if the level of education/consciousness/awareness of a large enough contingent of your population falls down too dramatically under a certain degree. Well, then, you would be the new Africa.

I never said genetics!

Did I @ETBrooD ?

No you didn't, so tell us what instead

Stop dancing around the issue and get to the point

Key word to me is, and has always been, only one-MINDSET!

I think you fail to understand the core beliefs of Western Civilization as affording everyone dignity.

A genetic mindset?

Some cultures produce a progressive mindset, and when such ensues, the culture can adapt to new conditions and give better prospects to its inhabitants,

"culture"
