Why Non-Westerners Hate Westerners
Ever wonder why non-Westerners seem to hate Westerners? C.S. Doemner quotes from Meic Pearse’s new book: Why the Rest Hates the West: Understanding the Roots of Global Rage.
To generalize a global phenomenon: Westerners are increased perceived by non-Westerners as “rich, technologically sophisticated, economically and politically dominant, morally contemptible barbarians.” Westerners are viewed as barbarians for several reasons:
(1) they do not revere their ancestors and traditional way of life;
(2) they express condescension toward religion;
(3) they advocate a culture obsessed with the ephemeral and commercial;
(4) they exhibit sexual shamelessness and promiscuity;
(5) they devalue the family; and
(6) they exchange a sense of honor for freedom from responsibility.
Western nations are rich and powerful and have deviated from traditional morality. As western nations, especially the USA, promote and push their values (or “anti-values” as they are perceived), non-Westerners become understandably resentful and anti-Western.
Things get much more complicated than this, but that’s the nutshell of it. In the end Pearse looks to the Christian faith, in cooperation with other faiths, as a source of reintroducing morality, honor, and duty into Western cultures. Skepticism of nonbelievers might only prove his point. People of faith would certainly agree with him.
The big question that remains is: Could this reintroduction really happen? What would it take?
What do you think?
Yes right on the mark. if the west could change their behaviour in general for the better, as well as not let their dirty white, black, and latino women romance eastern men, the east could change their views too
you are right on the spot. you don’t deserve to romance eastern women as you belong in the west as an immoral barbarian.
I am from the east. I know lot of easterners hate westerners but there are also a lot of easterners who love westerners. That in itself has led to more hate among the easterners. Most easterners believe that the western lifestyle is penetrating deep into the eastern culture and ruining the centuries old traditions and foundations. While there are many welcome things to learn from westerners, many moral and ethical changes have left the orthodox eastern community in fear, rage and confusion. The legalization of abortion, homosexuality, divorce and free sex hasn’t made things easier for easterners. Neither have the good things like liberalization for women, freedom of speech, and eradication (at least an attempt) of racial discrimination. The west has always been pioneers and leaders and it is a huge responsibility God has bestowed, especially for USA. Will the leader be responsible in making wise moral decision? That will determine the future east and west relationships. As a Christian I cannot hate any of the countries but I do feel really bad, when so called Christian nations (not just USA but many European countries as well) and countries founded on Biblical principals take their freedom and responsibility for granted.
How can anyone not hate westerners…
Quite right. Westerners are quite decadent, especially American millenials. Plus the fact that most westerners (atleast online) spew vitriol on other cultures and countries all the time. They’re the most disrespectful group I’ve seen. It’s not hard to start disliking them after some time once you get to know what they’re thinking.
Some astute observations both in the article itself, and the comments.
As for my own views, I’m in favor of a return to that which came before. Getting back to roots. Westerners need to wake up and rediscover unpleasant truths and callous fundamentals about nature, about a state of being, about what it means to be a link in the chain of continuation. The sphere of public discourse is mostly dominated by fools and the retards have the microphone.
But rejoice! Mother nature will set back the clock once civilization collapses, as it most assuredly will, and then people will rediscover themselves. Modern westerners have no clue who they themselves are, nor what they’ve arisen from. “A human without heritage is a tree without roots.”-Marcus Garvey
Identity is non-transferable. 80% of outcome is genetic; is hereditary. We arise out of something which precedes our own individualistic day to day appetites and whims.
Race is culture, and culture is race. Modern Europeans need to wake up. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. So buckle up while a significant portion of our demographic sleep-walks off the existential cliff.
