       "Culturally, she seems a little bit Westernized"
       We already knew this:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/questions-debates/re-mate-choice-copying-2640/msg25541/#msg25541
       In what other aspects is she Westernized?
       "but I think this is more due to societal influence and can be
       undone."
       Go for it! Given that veganism is apparently an important part
       of her thinking, it should not be difficult to turn her
       anti-Western by inviting her to consider which civilization most
       increased the scale of violence against animals (including in
       ways that no other civilization would have done):

       To be vegan and not anti-Western is ideologically inconsistent.

       "In what other aspects is she Westernized?"
       She wears Western dresses and attends "formals":
  HTML https://johnschronicle.org/2019/11/22/im-going-to-a-formal-wait-what-is-a-formal/
       I could never imagine myself partaking in such degeneracy tbh.
       Also I sense that she is an alcoholic Eurocentrist.

       As I said earlier, she was born into a Hindu family, and was
       vegetarian because of the tradition (not religion, just that's
       what she grew up eating. But she said she always felt ethically
       superior to meat eaters, so she herself ethically agreed with
       vegetarianism). But her upbringing itself seems pretty
       deracinated and irreligious. So while she converted to veganism,
       she does not realize that the non anthropocentric attitudes
       that she exhibits are actually a part of her culture/religion,
       which has existed for several millenia. Instead, she is a False
       Leftist who thinks that converting non vegans to veganism by
       offering them alternatives that taste like meat is a good form
       of activism...
       And also, she is married. Even if the marriage has not been
       consummated, I do not know if it is ethical for me to convince
       her to break up her marriage. And even if it was, I don't know
       how I would go about doing it.

       Actually, you should attend formals wearing non-Western formal
       clothes and encourage other attending non-Westerners to do the
       same:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/dress-decolonization/
       "she does not realize that the non anthropocentric attitudes
       that she exhibits are actually a part of her culture/religion"
       She can be totally ignorant of Hindu culture and still
       understand that an alternate world in which Western civilization
       never existed would be a world with many orders of magnitude
       fewer non-human victims of initiated violence every day.
       Your mission is not to persuade her that Hinduism is the most
       superior, but to persuade her that Western civilization is the
       most inferior.
       Anyway, try it first and come back here if she presents
       counterarguments which you do not know how to handle.
       "I do not know if it is ethical for me to convince her to break
       up her marriage."
       Are you saying that turning her anti-Western will necessarily
       involve breaking up her marriage? If so, why? Is her spouse
       strongly pro-Western?

       I agree. Hinduism is by no means perfect (e.g. Karmic fatalism)
       but I would appreciate if she embraces some kind of Aryan
       religion, as I feel it would increase her spiritual level and
       make her a better activist.

       My bad, I was going in with the intention of forming a
       relationship with her (and I assumed you were implying the
       same). I suppose we can have a non romantic friendly
       relationship.

       Is she presently an explicit atheist or what?
       "I was going in with the intention of forming a relationship
       with her"
       For the record, convincing someone to break up a marriage is
       always more ethical than convincing them to have an extramarital
       affair.

       Not sure, just know that she is a progressive.
       Also, posting more pics to appreciate her somewhat Aryan
       phenotype:

       (Girl is third from left)
       Note high forehead, facial smoothness, skeletal gracility,
       ectomorphy, and low sexual dimorphism (younger sister has only
       the last three).
       "For the record, convincing someone to break up a marriage is

       affair."
       For all I know, her husband could just as well be a noble a
       person as her. I guess it is my fault for being at home and not
       attempting to socialize with anyone. As I said earlier, I
       developed a somewhat cynical mindset of the world. I am also
       somewhat "conservative" from a non Western perspective: I don't
       eat alongside non vegetarians while they eat meat, which means I
       rarely go to social events, I don't drink, and I also didn't go
       to college away from home because I didn't want to live with
       meat eaters.
       But I have realized that "non Whites" who were born and raised
       in the United States, even if they are Westernized, are easier
       to socialize with than "Whites" as the former are at least
       respectful of such cultural restrictions (as some of them have
       other restrictions themselves, such as avoiding beef
       (Hindus)/non halal food (Muslims)) even if they did not know
       about such restrictions beforehand, unlike the latter.
       At the end of the day, everyone (by which I am strictly
       referring to "non Whites) is a product of societal influence
       (psychological colonization) to a certain extent, so it is wrong
       for me to judge people for being too Westernized and write them
       off altogether.

       "she is a progressive"
       Ask her how many animals were slaughtered per day in ancient
       times as compared to in modern times. Then ask her how she can
       claim ancient times were worse.
       "Girl is third from left"
       No, she is seventh from left.
       "Note high forehead, facial smoothness, skeletal gracility,
       ectomorphy, and low sexual dimorphism"
       She is the most highly evolved in the group by a considerable
       margin. (But that is not saying much!) Still, I wonder if she
       herself is aware of this. You should bring up the topic with her
       sometime.

       Ok. Still figuring out how to connect with her (Facebook?). And
       how do I even start the conversation?
       "She is the most highly evolved in the group by a considerable
       margin. (But that is not saying much!)"
       Just curious, would you say I am more highly evolved than her (I
       think I am)?

       "would you say I am more highly evolved than her"
       It is debatable. Try to get a photo of you and her together in
       the same shot, then I will judge.  ;)

       Ok! I want my potential partner to be at least as or more Aryan
       than myself, if not facially than at least character wise.
