I think posts lumping up the many parts of Europe, UK, Canada, USA (edit: and maybe South America?) together as "the west" is not something worth reading online

- adrianN 8y agoBecause parts of the world that share similar cultural heritage and have strong economic ties to each other should under no circumstances be lumped together.
- nurettin 8y agoFolks with entirely different lives and world views should not be lumped together. This is what the Islamic folks are doing wrong as well.
- adrianN 8y agoRight, so we should look at every person individually and never generalize over more than one person. Sounds very useful.
- nurettin 8y agoThe sarcastic tone is rapidly losing it's utility as you fall deeper and deeper into the same naive over-generalization pitfalls as any extremist criticizer of "the west". Your urban existential chrisis is simply alien to your average Italian farmer who lives in a neighborhood which hasn't changed much in the past two centuries.
