@loring5784 He was a Westerner, was he not?

@blackdog1392 Well that was pellucid.

Oh. So that's who gave the West Hitler.

@loring5784 The theme of Weinstein's entire intervention was to extol "the West." Adolf Hitler was no less a product of Western culture than was Emil Zola. On the other hand, Vasili Arkhipov was not, except in a very broad sense (certainly far broader than Weinstein would allow), and yet he saved the world from a nuclear exchange. The Americans trying to force his submarine to the surface had no problem risking it. They didn't pause for a moment. I think it's time to look at all cultures more dispassionately and quit flattering ourselves.

@ritualcloset I wasn't trolling you. Go back and read. This guy is just name calling. He has no facts, no argument. They never do.

@brenttesterman3171 Right. The people who call other people names do that because they don't have anything else. They never do --- and so, they substitute invective as a scare tactic.

Yes, but it brings home the bacon, doesn't it? :/

Excuse me? WHO created the Holocaust? Hiroshima AND Nagasaki? The Middle Passage? (The lobotomy, and a Nobel Prize for it?) The West must not self-destruct --- not any more than any other major culture should --- but a little humility is in order at this point
