you can't make a rights-based anti-universalist argument in favor of an attitude and framework like racism that is straightforwardly totalitarian and universalist. furthermore, it is totally normal to have a value system and then take efforts to make material reality reflect my value system. if a lot of people agree with me, it might even happen, maybe even against the will of people who disagree and hold a different value system. all people do this. real anti-universalism and your faux abstinence are both in fact just another kind of value system within this ecosystem. it's true that a value system does not have to be rational to dominate, but that is not an argument in your favor, it just emphasizes the necessity of aggressive activism and action against racists and their exposed weakness of irrationality. in closing, i highly value the destruction of things that i think are morally and ethically wrong. you can't fault me for having a different value system that demands i act against my enemies... for the other readers, this faux anti-universalism is a common neoreactionary talking point designed to subvert a weak conception of cultural diversity, by portraying oppressive policies as respectable cultural disagreements. i would encourage yall to recognize it when it appears. anti-universalism has utility, but this is a perversion.

> i highly value the destruction of things that i think are morally and ethically wrong. This logic right here is the antithesis to true rationalism. You act as though your reason is more sound than someone elses simply because you deem your ways as the "ultimate" way. A Muslim in Pakistan may not consider your form of justice as the same as a Sikh in Suriname. You just jump to conclusions that any affront to your rationality is an attack on values of "goodness for mankind" as a whole. It's absolutely no different than a religion. So while you may not be a Muslim, you may find many Islamic teachings abhorrent. But to certain Muslims, they see you as an infidel or as the heathenous one who is striving from a path of moral goodness. This is exactly why western liberalism is such an affront to the world over. It is filled with too many pompous white people who think that because they became successful in this system, they can extend their white savior complex to others by force. Simply through justification that they believe they hold the keys to true morality. Western liberalism is no different than the Catholic Church in the middle ages. Constantly abusing the witchhunt of morality upon others. Incessantly purporting that nobody else holds the keys and that any questioning of the belief is heresy.
