The West’s support of Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people tells you everything you need to know about “Western values”.

Western values are dollars, euros, and cents.

The next time some white person from Europe or the US preaches to you about their values, laugh in their faces. Loudly. Make sure everyone around you hears what a sick joke they are.

Illumination in dark times
A genealogy of modern Western selfhood and a post-Western world

"Smith ... outlines a genealogy of modern Western selfhood: a radically individual, hypermasculine character that was formed during the rapid nineteenth-century expansion of the white man’s world. “Bold, conquering, and altogether assertive,” it was “dedicated to action,” hostile to reflection, indifferent to community and the environment, and guilty of possessing, Smith writes, an “undeveloped heart,” a term borrowed from E. M. Forster’s assessment of the British elite." "

" “We must alter our very relations with the world around us.” This means giving up the exalted and exaggerated idea of the West that boosts a masculinist self-image but severely constricts thought and feeling. “We should welcome our era’s uncertainties,...the not-knowing of how the post-Western story will come out.” Smith’s final warning—that “we will not survive the Western notion of the individual much longer”—should resonate today, as nineteenth-century individualism reasserts itself in the degraded Nietzscheanism of Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller." >>

We don't like to reference #MurdochRags but according to even a #TimeMagazine article last year, 17000 foreign fighters have come to #Ukraine over the past six years from over 50 countries.

Some of them were reportedly associated with #terror attacks in #theWest including the #Christchurch massacre.

THAT'S SEVENTEEN THOUSAND PSYCHOPATHS being positioned next door to you by #banksters — who really don't like your ideas on #banking.
