RE: Monoculture for you, Multiculture for the rest of us. The different standards
Well, I don't defend it, or maybe I am..I don't know. I just don't understand why we should be ashamed of the greatest culture ever built, when everyone else (who ALSO had slaves and colonies) are encouraged to embrace THEIR own culture. If someone can prove to me, with logic and rationality that europeans somehow STOLE all the ideas for everything that we prospered in..then I'll reconsider. But I can't see any rational reason of why that should be.
Look, I'll give you the example of my country, Venezuela: In the 50's, our country brought the nation a flow of European migrants, Venezuela was the main welcoming country of Europeans, especially Italians, Portuguese, Spanish and German , the truth is that only during that time Venezuela became the second economy of America and was among the first five in the world. At that time, all the Venezuelan oil was extracted by Europeans, Dutch, British and German. The country was the main exporter of oil in the world, the Venezuelan population, of only about 4 million people by then, had a high quality of life. Years later, the power passed to anti-European people, entered the country of all the people of South America and the Caribbean, and the nation was degrading. Today, we are governed by Arabs and mulattoes, and well, I think I should not have to explain the conditions in which my country is today. There are simply cultures that create and others that destroy.
Yes, you are defending European culture, but there's nothing wrong about that. It's the atmoshpere we live in today that makes you think maybe it's wrong to defend your way of life. That's self-censorship and we all have a big problem if we start feeling we shouldn't say what we think.
