       Even though the "United States" are culturally influenced by
       "woke" people today, their foreign policies still "Manifest
       Destiny" and "Western" in nature. They not stop to threaten us
       with sanctions if we change our current "western" economic
       system into a new one, which more less-oppressing or even more
       solving the problem than it.
       That's why the Africans today more side with China rather than
       the "tolerant" West. The China give us "infrastructure economic
       cooperation" whereas "The West" give us debt and deceptive
       economic cooperation.
       We hardly to trust the "leftism" of the West right now. Even
       they through online media try to do anything to support regime
       change in Iran after their authorities murder a woman who
       release her hijab on Iranian's public. Which means support Iran
       to change their Islamic ideology into a new one which possibly
       absorb the Western's pervert Freemason leftism (liberalism)

       Westerners are the biggest hypocrites, they think that because
       they use nice sounding phrases and buzzwords that there actually
       good people. I'm not sure if they actually believe the B.S that
       there spewing or there just in love with the sound of there own
       voices. Anyway actions speak louder then words, and based on
       your actions you westerners have been exposed as the demons that
       you are.

       But, it will more better if Kwame Nkrumah use the name of his
       international solidarity proposal with name which not originated
       from westerners's name-calling. Like "Pan-Igbo International"
       for example. Which name was to honor Igbo united empire on the
       past hudreds of years ago before European colonialism

       If you ask me, it's not an issue of whether organic chemistry
       should or should not be a pre-med requirement, but that the
       uniquely Western subject of organic chemistry should not be
       taught at all. Imagine how many of the problems in:

       Not only should Aotearoa discover its own stories first, but it

       And also discover the evilness of Western philosophy, art, and
       way of life so they no need to preserve it but burn all of it.
       Only the liberals who still need to preserve all kinds of
       teachings and worldview for the sake of pluralism. Even though
       there's  a worldview which bad for all of us

       No. We need to show it so that people can study how it is evil.
       This is why we have topics like this one:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-right/western-civilization-is-ugly-48/
       Also we need to keep finding out who in each generation likes
       this stuff so that they can be prohibited from reproducing.
