Do Brazilians see themselves as part of the West?

[@jacirasantanna7221]

Yes, Brazil is very much a Western country, colonized by European immigrants, just like Canada, Australia and USA. We are the largest Christian community in the world, mostly practicing their Faith. We are, after India, the most active Democratic population, formed mostly by conservatives resisting Cultural Marxism and fighting Socialism/Communism, that affluent countries in the West neglected to protect against, leaving most of our natural resources to be explored by China. Even remote multicultural communities in Amazonia are defined by Western values. Come to learn more and visit Brazil, we will love to have you. You will be surprised to find the Western Civilisation in great shape here, at least our élites aren’t yet defying it. You certainly won’t find people from other civilisations contesting western values or imposing themselves in our cities as in certain areas of London or Paris.

People fleeing bad conditions will obviously gravitate to the developed world not because they were good in the past but because their actions in the past provided the wealth needed for development. China has proved that with wealth, development can happen at a very rapid pace outside of western culture. The most interesting comparison here is between the way that China became wealthy and the way that most of the west became wealthy. It's a comparison between beating the west at it's own game of free enterprise and Slavery, Military Conflict, Opium Trading, Colonization, Exploitative Resource Extraction, and a very convenient approach to either supporting or challenging both dictators and terrorists. Oh and more recently, perpetual warfare and sanctioning or bombing the shit out of any country where the regime refuses to dance to what ever tune the United States of Hypocrisy happens to be playing.

[@MyLateralThawts]

The communists changed tactics. The working classes weren’t willing to die for a revolution that would only put a more corrupt elite into power, as they could clearly see everywhere that communists came to power. Now western communists embraced Mao’s Cultural Revolution and are attacking anything that made the west successful. On top of that, the Post Modernists have slowly been working to bring about the same goals, by emphasizing Identity Politics and the Victim Culture. Add to that either ideological subversion or active measures ... or quite simply, psychological warfare, as created by the Soviet Union and described in detail by Yuri Bezmenov, in which he stated that the mechanisms they created became self perpetuating at the university level, with successive generations of graduates building on the narrative previously established (See 1619 Project). In short, unless we start pushing back from this insanity, western civilization may face a catastrophic end.

There are many nations that want to do something good for themselves. However, they are being stopped by forces many know nothing about but i think Douglas Murray knows about. For example, there are many French speaking countries in Africa that dont have rights to their own economic policies. That includes their rights to determine monetary, fiscal and other policies that can protect their own interests. If they try to implement certain policies without consulting certain forces in France, they will be killed and institutions like UN, IMF, EU, etc will support these killings. These are the realities that some countries live in. Who then do we blame when nationals of such countries want to flee to Europe? We cant undermine the destruction and damage that the so called civilised world is causing to many other countries.

@@2Dylandog let me give you a very simple example, there is a country called Republic of Congo (not Democratic Republic of Congo). The president (the Late Pascal Lissouba) once had a debate on TV where he claimed openly that his country doesnt know how many barrels of petrols are being exploited everyday from the country and the oil companies disclose what they are supposed to disclose. He was speaking about that live on state TV in the presence of the directors of certain French petroleum companies e.g. ELF Serepca now part of total. He was told clearly in French and live on TV that your days are counted and the next day, war started. That is what led to the current president Denis Sassou Nguesso taking over power and he has been there ever since.

In a woke country headed by a narcissistic , bullying clown l wonder ….. I came here 30 years ago … it was the place to be … my job disappeared after 3 years and I have worked, very successfully, abroad ever since . Yes, we must defend what is good ….. but we are now a one party dictatorship …… totally leaderless, we need to look hard at what we have become …. Dreaming of yesterday ….. WAKE UP !

Brilliant observations some I hadn't considered. Particularly the truly toxic fact that corporations and governments were surreptitiously creating departments to accommodate these radical activists that everyone thought would (and should) be unemployable.

[@frankwestren8290]

The one thing Douglas will never do is criticize- or allow anyone else to criticize- the small, specific group of people who fomented and are pushing this movement. What was his attack on Pedro Gonzalez about, again?

I thought we were supposed to learn from history? How can we do this if we eradicate the bits we don't like? Also, the rotten parts of our history do not invalidate or negate the great bits. And there's a lot of great stuff! It ain't all bad.

Why should America pay for the defense of Europe? Why? Europe must learn to defend themselves once again.

Hear hear I say. And abolish NATO for starters.

Thank god you are commenting on this cancer that is rotting our wonderful country

[@fredgassit5418]

It's the one-sidedness that's the problem.

[@ykdickybill]

Douglas makes some excellent points.

Where would we be going without Douglas Murray?....TO HELL IN A HAND CART!!!

More on this please.

Yet Vladimir Putin wanted Russia to be part of Westernised Europe and to join up with NATO - he was told to get to the back of the queue . The West not only failed Russia but it failed Ukraine too and you know this - Professor John Mearsheimer was predicting this Ukraine War back in 2016 yet it was allowed to happen - Mearsheimer , a Professor at Chicago University blames The West and quite frankly so do I , we're not the good people we make ourselves out to be , sometimes the criticism is justified .

[@MGuitarZ77]

The West makes mistakes and is far from perfect no doubt. But still easily the closest thing to it. What are your alternatives?

[@benedict7335]

Putin accused NATO of expansion towards the east but it declined requests from the east.You cannot have it both ways. The west so trusted Putin that it accepted his invasions of Chechnya and Crimea and placed its energy supply in his hands.

You may have heard it read in a school morning assembly: “But, Jesus knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.” Luke 11: 17. Revealed [Biblical] truth v. Post modern denial of the. existence of objective truth!

[@kbeetles]

Special thanks for a quote from the Bible. (Quotes usually come from an ancient Greek philosopher, a Buddhist teacher or a Native elder - suggesting that the Bible is not worth paying attention to!)

[@amandamorton-king2112]

It's a great book - definitely worth a read.

A healthy civil society needs debate!

Douglas, is the epitome of a rational argument instead of an emotional argument. He doesn’t see the matrix, he only sees the code in the matrix.
