Noam Chomsky - Why They Hate the West

[@user-pd6ci6fk1i]

what Noam is saying is summed up in a few words by Samuel Huntington: “The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” - Samuel Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, page 51

[@codyvandal2860]

Do you recall if Huntington was affirming that notion?

[@MuddafukhingdisKUST]

Huntington was also a proponent for the failed Neo-conservative movement/PINAC proposals and Clash of Civilizations was doomsaying nonsense.

[@trentpettit6336]

Sadly, the "real truth" about Israeli involvement in world affairs is not so pleasant either! Same with the "real truth" about British involvement! Russia and China (despite both being openly authoritarian nations) are also both famous for telling a very one-sided story to the "rest of the world" to cover up their attacks on human rights! Both the Russian and Chinese governments (sadly the Americans, British, and Israelis all are guilty of this too, and I suspect the Indians are as well) have conveniently used "radical Islam" as a boogeyman to distract from their abuses of human rights, which historically have included war crimes! Interestingly, despite America's abuse of power in the Middle East, CANADA surprisingly has taken a very different approach to foreign policy... but what's funny is that both the American and Canadian governments declined to support the joint British/French/Israeli occupation of EGYPT during the SUEZ CRISIS back in 1956! Starting with America joining the Vietnam War though (not too long after the Suez Crisis) Canada has generally supported peacekeeping efforts around the world, while America sadly has taken a very different approach...

[@zeromodulus1679]

Let's put blame where it belongs: the US fossil fuel industry. Even today, the fossil fuel industry has the most influence over politics than anyone else. The primary constituent of the Republican party is the fossil fuel industry. The US political system is pretty much run by the fossil fuel industry and their chosen representatives, like Joe Manchin. Joe Manchin himself is a wealthy coal plant owner, and regularly meets with Exxon. The reason the US is so corrupt is because companies have taken over the political system.

[@scott.moresh7]

No try this instead...it is because there would be a vaccum of power and Muslim factions of Shia and Sunni powers as well as terrorists, as well as Iran, which fought Iraq (1980-1988) who would love that. We saw this happen irregardless after Operation Iraqi Freedom. Oh, I'm also a Veteran, who served in the wars and it was my job to understand this as a military intelligence officer. These are complex issues. The fact that some people profit off war and other groups exploit war (terrorism) are two different issues which are also complicated.

[@the1onlynoob]

Scott Moresh See that’s what I thought too at the start. Yet we had no problem installing a pro US government every time we fight. Like we did in Afghan later on. We let the dictator keep his power to avoid a power vacuum? Then did we not have a plan for an alternative when we went in? Or was Saddam still on CIA payroll that we could use him? Regardless of which, what we cannot deny is that a second invasion was necessary and killing the dictator that we had every opportunity to remove earlier was sold to us as the goal.

Regardless if we supported a dictator or not, whether there were atrocities, whether there were humanitarian crisis, if a war is desirable it will be so. The difference is merely how easily it could be sold to the public.

As a Tunisian, I do not hate Western people I worked in tourism as a tour guide and had friendships with the French, Germans, and people from Eastern Europe and Scandinavian countries. But I strongly hate Western governments, or most of them, especially the governments of France, Britain, America, and Germany, and their entire political system. Since my childhood, I remember the first shock in my life seeing Israeli planes and tanks storming and destroying the Jenin camp in the Second Palestinian Intifada of 2000. And all of this with absolute American support Then I saw the American invasion of Iraq in 2004, and despite my hatred for Saddam Hussein, I hoped that the Iraqi people would change him and not change him by destroying the country, killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and giving Iraq to Iran. Then, in 2008,2012 2014 2018 2021 2022 and 2023 I saw the Israeli aggression against Gaza, and I saw the most horrific massacres, with absolute and unlimited American support, against a people with primitive weapons. As for France, I will not forget its intervention in my country, Tunisia, especially after the 2011 revolution. It tried with all its might to weaken Tunisia and thwart the democratic path by carrying out assassinations and trying to create strife in my country. To this day, France controls Tunisia and prevents any attempt to establish a true democratic state. I swear that since I began to rise above the world, I hear daily in the news about Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians Every day I hear about the killing of Palestinian children and women at the hands of the Zionist army to the point that it has become normal news and I am not affected by it. On the other hand, I do not see any American pressure on Israel to stop building settlements. On the contrary, it supports it even though it knows that it is an illegitimate state. But when I read history, I knew that the only way for the Palestinians is resistance and more resistance And there is no liberation without pain The West only wants its interests. It is enough that the two most prominent candidates for the presidency of America, Trump and Biden, and despite their differences on all issues, the two strongly support Israel. Both of them still think with the mentality of white man supremacy Despite everything Biden claims that he supports human rights But it turns out that all the principles Biden claims are lies, with the screams and corpses of Gaza’s children

Frankly speaking I don’t see anything objectionable to the idea that non westerners should be grateful for at least the core principles of the western civilisation (freedom of thought, speech, religion, ownership, movement, etc, republicanism ; the idea that the people ought to be involved in matters of the state, capitalism, which is just derived from the aforementioned freedom but is nonetheless very important, equality before the law, empiricism, etc). The lack of all those, admittedly in varying degrees, is a constant throughout traditional societies, including pre 1800s western civilisation and what still lingers of that era in the current western civilisation, and is demonstrably harmful, so yeah I’d say non westerners should happily embrace those values if only for their own sake. Now of course having McDonalds is not anything to be proud of but honestly I don’t know any westerner that’d claim that it is either ^^’

Security and stability were higher during the colonial era. On the whole, the people were better off during the colonial era than after. Today's problems have very little to do with colonial times. Islam began to stagnate in the 13th century with Al Ghazali and has never recovered since. Almost all prominent Islamic scientists came from recently conquered areas. Areas that were Muslim for a long time have hardly produced any science of their own. Islam was tolerant until quite recently. It was as Saudi Arabia's money grew that Islamic intolerance grew. They spread their Salafism which causes Islam to come into conflict with everyone else, even with the more liberal Muslims. Since there is no successful / well-functioning Muslim country, there must be some serious problem with Islam. Exactly what it is I have not understood.

Yes, correct. Although it is odd that the USA - the greatest exponent of Realpolitik in history - still has this weird obsession about being liked, and being seen as in the "right". No previous empire has ever been so concerned about its reputation: power is its own justification. And "Snook On the fly" is also correct: most people in the world are charming, helpful and considerate. They want to live their lives, bring up their kids, don't hate people on sight and operate very much on the idea "live and let live". Politics has much to answer for: and we should be seriously questioning why governments seem to be run by the worst of us, not the best.

[@nathanjora7627]

That is such an asinine take, previous empires didn’t have stuff like the UN or NATO to cater to and no true rival or significant opponent to care about in the way the US has to. The only exception being nations or people with a hegemon, which is exactly what the US have, ie not a political but a diplomatic and cultural empire. It’s not exactly a new concept that if you have to choose between love and fear, you have to choose fear, but if you don’t have to then you ought to have both, so it’s no surprising that the US chooses to have both, even aside from the very obvious fact that… The US also has to appeal to its own people more than any previous empire, so it helps being seen as right even from an internal standpoint. And all of that is not even discussing the even more basic idea that nobody likes to think of himself as the bad guy, so of course everybody wants to be seen as the good guy as much as possible.

My parents revolted against shah of Iran, it is common knowledge that shah of Iran was heavily tied to the US. However, when shah was trying to be independent, and build nukes and started to increase the price of oil. Thats when the revolution happened. After all khomeini was for a period in paris then moved to turkey. And when shah fled, khomeini immediately entered and the revolution happened. However, there was Iraq vs Iran war that adds complexity. My parents who are very political and lived and observed through the period told me US installed khomeini. Why would there be tons of sanctions on IR and yet they were installed by the US? Have they gain their independence? Everything american is not accessible in Iran. So what is the benefit for the US to have one of the most anti-american government in the region? It is very known that in earlier years of Islamic Republic they had dealings with the republican party of the US. However, what doesnt make sense to me is US has tons of satellite channels to advertise its agenda against IR. And believe it or not these had affected the protests in recent years. So Iran does sell oil to the world. But our government hasnt used this industry to progress our nation. It has become a super market. Most of the budget is spent on military because we are one of the most threatened country in the world, constantly in the fear of being bombed. But make no doubt, vast majority of middle easterners hate the US government. The sheer amount of interference, no matter for what reason has caused us to hate the US.

I am from the "West" because I am norwegian and I fully understand why they hate us. In fact, I don't like the west myself.

Instead I strongly disagree with and condemn the constant wars, incitements of coups, stealing of natural resources, illegal imprisonment and arming "rebels" to destabilize any nation we don't "like". I absolutely despise how western countries think they should have a say on how african countries develop. Or who the pacific island nations choose to trade with. I am so sick of "us" going around the world telling everyone that we know best. And if I'm sick of it, I can't even imagine how it is to have been on the receiving end of this imperialist meddling. The old colonial/imperialist powers of the west keep doing these things to this day, so I fully understand that the victims of this constant aggression are fed up. Thankfully, the world is no longer as uni-polar as it was after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Russia, China, Brazil, India, South Africa and countless other nations are becoming powerful enough to keep american imperialism more and more contained. Ofcourse, the americans won't accept this defeat without trying to destabilize and damage any nation that dares do things their own way without asking "massa" for permission first. So we can expect quite a bit of unrest until the USA is diminished and shuts up. However, it seems that the inevitable decline of USA, UK and the entire western hegemony has finally begun.

I completely agree; if anything, I would only state it a bit more extravagantly. The current President (un-elected except by the Electoral College which he, in a rare moment of getting something partially right, correctly called a travesty against democracy, but only when and because his bigotry made him falsely assume in 2012, that our only black President to date, had been re-elected the way Trump himself would be 4 years later, by losing the popular vote but winning the EC. suddenly what was a "travesty" became a mandate for the fraudulent fuck), is worse to me than just a national shame and disgrace; he is a serious impediment to expanding the slim hope that the ongoing omnicide by the oligarchs he loves and services, can be turned around. In other words, beyond the true words you wrote, the current President is in middle of stupidly, and maliciously, but perhaps blindly, trying to murder all life on this planet, with the help of the rest of the greed driven maniacs that would rather burn us to the ground than give up one dollar of profit right now. Chomsky on the other hand, is and has been for the past 70 years or so, the most powerful, and most brilliant voice of reason and conscience in the US; no human alive should be regarded with more gratitude by all intelligent and decent people. I can't begin to express my gratitude for his incredible mind, unerring morality, unflinching willingness to face and help the rest of us face, the darkest, most depressing aspects of the realities humanity must deal with, and his unfailing commitment to work harder to save us from ourselves than any human can be expected to work! His work is astounding in both volume and quality, and I honestly don't know how one person manages so much; I think I've accomplished something when I've read a long Chomsky tome, but in the time it takes me to do it, he's written several more!

Does anyone here pray to Chomsky before going to sleep?

Of course Noam knows what’s been going on!

It blows my mind that Western governments/people in general seem dumbfounded by the Global South's tilt to the East. US/UK/Europe often act like moral arbiters of 'rules-based order' - but in practice, they are imposing rules and values in other territories that they themselves don't observe. They have massively disproportionate power in terms of their influence in international frameworks like the UN (not a single African or South American nation has a permanent seat on Security Council for example) AND they rely on the Global South for resources but continue to control/manipulate smaller economies, and do not treat developing nations as partners. The allure of Russia and China is real - they are simply alternatives to Western unipolarity - and India is in a great position to become a global leader in a multipolar world. Western countries have to start restoring trust by addressing historical grievances and approaching countries in the Global South as partners, rather than weaker nations to be taken advantage of. I have a bit of a more in-depth explainer on this topic if people are interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6nJoHyqfZaJp7M&ab_channel=WorldBeyondTheWest

we call it justice from Allah. If we dont get it in this world then we will in the Next. InshAllah.

[@marcusonesimus3400]

Whatever agrees with you is clear, whatever does not is wrong-headed if not downright reprehensible. I'm saying nothing whatsoever against him, only noting that our moral and intellectual evaluations tend to colored by subjective considerations.

[@zarathustravideo]

@marcus onesimus I have confirmation bias like everyone else. Why would this be strange to you?

[@marcusonesimus3400]

@@zarathustravideo That in itself I do not find strange at all. I'm subjectively familiar with the phenomenon. If one believed that it were invariably a bad thing, and tried to root it out through ruthless self-examination, the exercise would soon prove tiresome and futile.
