It is when you totally ignore everything that is done by those you approve of, yes.You seem to cherry pick history to find, "history" that supports dismissing people you don't like.Nativism has a long, ugly history. I don't want our country going back down that path. Well, we already are, but I can go kicking and screaming. It isn't right. This isn't about "Gee I like my culture better, it feels more comfortable." It is about people who feel so strongly that the "other" is wrong that they band together to make a big issue about it and even take it to the streets. That does not end well, either.Where have I ever objected to any muslim nation or Muslim people saying and believing they think their way is best? That’s right, I haven’t.And Muslim societies could some up with an equally unfair but technically accurate list of atrocities that the West has enacted. Don't you see? I suppose you don't. I believe you're genuine in your hatred of Muslims.There is nothing wrong with Westerners believing Western societies are better than those who hang gays from cranes, or push them off rooftops, or those that destroy the genitalia of women, or those that imprison journalists and teachers on trumped up charges, or where women are chattel, just a few examples. Why would anyone have a problem with that?
That’s because I’m not the one who is scared of people thinking they do it better.
In fact I believe it’s natural for people to think their nation or their people or their religion or their culture etc are the best - it’s you who seems to have a problem with it WHEN it is a view espoused by Westerners.
What about the long ugly history of radical leftism, or marxism, or radical demographic change or demonizing your political opponents, ect ect ect?

Sorry if I missed it. Did you have a response on your bit about
speakers who stay away are pussies,
and those that stay and fight, are too violent?
Yes, in order to make my argument I have provided examples of what I found troubling. Is that really so sinister?
