Yes my horrible ideology of citing a peer reviewed science article published by the national library of medicine lmao. Science is a capitalist and imperialist conspiracy!!1!1
Again, Clyde… desperately hurling the term “tankie” at others does not distract from your white supreamcism.
As soon as you called westernism a disease I knew exactly what your profile would look like. You’re a tankie. If I called easternism a “disease” would that be okay? No because I’m not a bigot. If you’re old enough to be using this site you’re old enough to know better.
Hey, Clyde... here's a nice trick for you to try on your own. Every time somebody mentions the term "western civilization" to you, substitute the word "western" with the word white.
See if it changes the context - it's a very fun little game. And quite educational.
What "easternism," Clyde? There is no such thing "eastern civilization" underpinned by "yellow and/or brown supremacy" - it only exists in the fevered imaginations of white supremacists.
Let me guess... you have a black friend?

“What “easternism,” Clyde? There is no such thing “eastern civilization” underpinned by “yellow and/or brown supremacy” - it only exists in the fevered imaginations of white supremacists.”
This word vomit is incomprehensible to anyone who isn’t a Tankie. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. If easternism isn’t a thing why would westernism be a thing?
No, no, no, Clyde... what "easternism?"
What's the matter? Afraid of following your own narrative to it's logical conclusion? Why would that be, eh?
Show it to me. Show me this "other" to your precious white - oops, sorry, I meant to say "western" - civilization that only exists in your head.
What are you even trying to say? You’re having an entire conversation with yourself and putting words in my mouth, it’s bizarre and hard to understand. I’m guessing westernism means the belief in western values and easternism would mean belief in eastern values.
There has never been more than one "western" value, Clyde - it's white supremacism. That's it. That's what makes something "western."
So I guess you won't be putting up any credible evidence to back up your silly claims?
No surprises there.
You are an actual racist
That's it?
That's all you have, Clyde?
Do tell... is this literally the first time you've been informed that the only thing that makes "western civilization" coherent in any way is white supremacism?
Yes, it is the first time I’ve been “informed” of such a concept. Only someone obsessed with race would come to that conclusion.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, Clyde... you live in a race-obsessed society. You wouldn't know what it is to exist outside of one.
You exist in a fundamentally white supremacist world - and it's so normal to you that you can't even see it.
How do we cure this horrifying disease known as the west comrade?
Do you have anything else you want to try and hide your white supremacism with? Or are we done here?
Comrade please how do we cure it why won’t you answer me
That's a no?
