Just more "white people are evil" BS. That power "European mind set" like the Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, Comanches, etc.?

I posted a few paragraphs because historical distortions are unhealthy for society. I didn't make an entire tv show to whine about white people, LOL.

For the clueless, here is triggered explained. Author is anon for legal reasons!

People sure seem to use that line a lot--"Triggered?" I guess it's just a scornful, mocking jab, but it's also a rude, low-effort, and senseless.

You could say "Triggered?" to anything at all. Someone was wrongfully imprisoned, and ranted about it? Triggered. Someone's child just died in their arms, and they're emoting a little bit? Oh, they're just triggered.

But in this case, it reinforces the point. No one would mockingly say "Triggered?" if a non-white was complaining about something along the same lines.

And yeah, I'm aware of the obvious potential response to my post... "Triggered?"

Let's all just stop caring about everything. Apathetic zombiehood is the way to go. That's the only way to avoid ever being triggered.

At least you took the time to reply, lol.

Well God invented freedom of course, but the West was the civilization that did more than any other to secure it as a natural political right. It was also for rhetorical effect, like Fischer in Pawn Sacrifice asking, "Didn't we (Americans) invent money?" when told the US federation couldn't afford to house him as luxuriously as the Soviets housed their players. That statement and my entire post was written in the context of responding to this show and anti-"European"/white/Western comments made in it which I didn't repeat for space reasons since I'm addressing an audience that has already seen them. You admit you haven't seen the show (what'd you do follow me here?), so for you to reply blindly and obnoxiously the way you did without even considering the context, context which invalidates your "cherrypicking" claim, and pretend I'm just shouting these things on a street corner out of the blue is certainly more moronic than anything I said.

The other things you list are a mix of actions not exclusive to the West but commonly practiced around the world (The Christian West is the only powerful society to even have qualms about such things), BS assumptions, and ludicrous things that aren't happening (unless you're referring to Western environmentalists "holding back developing societies", a criticism I'd agree with).

Your final sentence merits no response except that I'd be happy to discuss the blood soaked history of militant atheist regimes any time you want. They've been the most oppressive, murderous, and poverty inducing of all societies.

I thought the point being made was that Westerners were and are not all evil, but the prevailing narrative out there is that they are. And even pointing that out results in childish mocking, as we see on this very web page.

No group, past or present, was or is all good or bad. And yet anti-white vitriol is constant and impossible to miss.

I agree. And I just watched the episode in which Monica gives this speech. A "very European mindset." Oh please. As if Islam had not been spread by conquest, and as if it didn't keep the slave trade alive long after Europe ended it. As if the Mongols hadn't practiced, not just conquest, but probably the worst genocide of the pre-industrial era. As if the Aztecs weren't fighting constant wars against their neighbors in order to harvest a yearly crop of human sacrifices -- tens of thousands of human sacrifices. I could go on for hours. This idea that slavery and conquest are somehow peculiarly European phenomena is not only completely ahistorical, it's quite simply racist.

None of this excuses atrocities perpetrated by Europeans and European-descended Americans who were racists, but the cure for racism is not more racism, but going the other direction. That mindset will never, ever lead to a post-racial society where all people are treated equally regardless of race, creed, or ethnicity. Quite the reverse actually.

And you know, the SJWs who write this nonsense will tell you that they aren't racist -- in fact they can't be racist, because racism is privilege plus power. (They say this with complete lack of self-awareness, as if they weren't the ones holding nearly all the power on social media, and in every insitution that shapes popular culture.) But they will insist that because of their long history of being oppressed, they aren't racist,they can't be racist, and that anything they do in advocacy of their race or ethnic group ipso facto is not racist. But as it becomes ever more obvious that they absolutely do wield instutional power in our society, and almost total, uncontested power over the institutions that shape popular culture, I am curious to see how they will justify continuing to claim they aren't racist.

That Indian chief is very "White" isn't he?!

Even his offsider who seems more traditional had no problem using a high powered rifle that his people could never have come close to inventing.
