*Eurocentrism is the dismissive and particularistic focus on Europe, involving an undue preoccupation with its peoples, institutions, history and customs. It is antithetical to the possession of an informed World-Systems epistemological paradigm which permits the understanding of a total social system.
*The nation-state is considered to be a Eurocentric entity born in the Peace of Westphalia: the geoculture may therefore be said to be Eurocentric.
*Many moral structures and even ethical epistemological structures are unwittingly Eurocentric. To apply the World-Systems epistemological lens of the total social system to its full potential, all such structures must be ruthlessly examined and purged of Eurocentric attributes to remove particles of reaction. Our analysis must be human and cosmopolitan, devoid of any status-group leanings.

  • I have to say that there is superiority complex ,the one that make a person try to fell better than other ,for the things that their race on the past archive instead to be worry about what hi had archive on his own life t,his superiority complex ,very easy can become to be an inferiority complex, since , if you are withe , but you had not archive nothing yet on your life , you may fell inferior to others ,and that make you to celebrate what your "race" made before .(am white)

  • @musclemassages I have personally known racists and they are people who actually have gotten very little from life and have many personal issues - they resort to delusions of racial superiority to excuse their own inferiority as a person. Suddenly they are a "great" person just because of their race. Yousee the same phenomenon appear in a basketcase country which suddenly decides it is "culturally" proud, just because it knows it was pathetic in substantive terms

  • @Victissive Ah I see.. I can learn much from you, however I am also a descendant of Dutch and Portuguese colonists

  • @BaseOfLiterature I'm a great person, because I'm better than you.

    Period. Not because I'm white, or belong to one of the white races in europe, or my culture has some different traditions.

    I'm better because I simply am. My culture doesn't make me better than you. I make me better than you.

  • @sm0keshell Yes but you only mimic the Dutch culture. And only the parts of it, that you understand. Which means most of it is still a mystery to you, and a secret for most foreigners.

  • @sm0keshell Yes, you're part europhile, if you like some cultures from Europe.

    But there are many more than you can learn, as a single person, so you can't be fully Europhile, if you don't even know all of them.

    Remember that most european cultures are kept secret now by dictatorship piglets of World War 2, like League of Nations faggots from Russia, America and Britatlantia.

    True european cultures include phoenicians, etruscans, scythians, thracians, baltics, vandals, persians.

  • @sm0keshell Yes, I am.

  • @Victissive Are you a neo-nazi or something? Lol you are sounding like one..

  • @Victissive How can I not admire them all? I do admire them all I agree we historically don't belong in any European culture, I assimilate into the Dutch culture, I even know Dutch better than some of my "white" Dutch friends..

  • @sm0keshell There are no extra-europeans who adapt "european cultures". Everyone outside of europe still has your own disgusting cultures.

    The native americans don't fucking pray to Jesus, for fuck's sakes. The eskimos don't pray to Jesus. Those missionaries are just an excuse for Jewish colonialists to spread their tentacles and steal gold from anywhere they find it.
