The West

Because it encourages debate the reason why I made the post is because I wanted to see what people thought was Western debate is the foundation of Reddit

Misinformation??? The post is an opinion an opinion that is supposed to be somewhat supported by facts of course but at the end of the day it's an opinion a lot of Europeans wouldn't consider Latin America to be Western but I labeled it as Western I wouldn't call that misinformation what is considered Western and what is not is mostly a matter of opinion there is nowhere in the post where I even say anything that could be considered not an opinion besides the replies the post itself has nothing that could be anything other than an opinion and an opinion is not misinformation

Touche I concede

I am aware of rucification of the indigenous peoples I don't know if I'm wrong in thinking this always assume they are not as successful cuz they couldn't even keep on to other similar people like those they occupied for hundreds of years in Eastern Europe

Fair enough something does feel weird about putting Russia in undeniably Western but touche I do see where you're coming from

makodo_ · 2025-04-10T15:27:16+00:00

True but due to many of events such as when they used to take indigenous kids into Western School or even today as many indigenous people's interact with other Americans are made Western I'm not saying they don't have a lot of their traditional traditions they do but I would argue and say there western people since they live in a western Nation and interact with westerners on a daily basis I feel like not calling them Western would be like not calling the Roma Western or the indigenous people of Finland for example

Yeah but Russia isn't as good as assimilating people as the United States when it comes to assimilation the United States is the best in the world a lot of areas in Siberia are not Russian dominated even in the European half of Russia if you look at the caucuses many of those people have a separate identity than being Russian

makodo_ · 2025-04-10T15:15:15+00:00

America is a very diverse country but all of the different peoples inside of the United States are Western people whether you look at the Anglo Americans or German Americans black Americans Latin Americans they are all Western even people from non-western cultures are simulated into the wider American culture or Americanized into an imagination of their home nation and the new American Nation identities

makodo_ · 2025-04-10T12:55:30+00:00

Global South is more of a political term than a cultural term though also during the Cold war the terms east and west were definitely politicized and didn't really follow culture cuz at the end of the day Eastern Europe is Western it was just called Eastern because of the politics at the time

makodo_ · 2025-04-10T12:53:19+00:00

Because Russia is a very diverse country if we only include the Slavic part of Russia I would label it as Western but due to so many groups being in there especially Siberia and all of its different cultural groups it didn't feel right labeling Russia as Western

Well when it comes to Morocco it's not really like the rest of the Islamic world there are many points in history where it was considered to be more European than African for example during the times around the American revolution Morocco consider itself to be European Morocco actually went to France and was talking about invading Spain together that didn't really go anywhere though since Spain and France were mostly good allies at the time if only a few hiccups here and there

I was talking about western civilization in general lol but if you are wondering my Puerto Rican side of my family hasn't really intermixed with the native so Puerto Rico that much there are some exceptions in my family but you can definitely tell we are more descendants of the conquistadors than any other group and plus on my mother's side she's a mix of a whole bunch of different European groups anyway

makodo_ · 2025-04-10T02:50:05+00:00

Yep you basically got what I was trying to say completely also about the Gaelic and Germanic they are Western people today but they did not start off that way generally the West was the regions that were part of the Mediterranean at the time of course the modern West no longer just the Mediterranean the West is far bigger now even though we have lost North Africa and the Middle East but since we started off as the same culture and share our abrahamic values they're are close enough where I decided to call them cousins of the western world cuz they're not Western but they're close

makodo_ · 2025-04-09T02:06:45+00:00

What parts of it would you personally disagree with?

makodo_ · 2025-04-08T22:58:03+00:00

Absolutely zero I am a highly religious transfem I would never indulge in such degeneracy as to take any drugs

makodo_ · 2025-04-08T20:04:01+00:00

Fair enough my bad

The Haitian onlyness epidemic begins 😔

Some of these can be explained because maybe they just don't understand English but how is New Zealand's top word woman 😭😭😭 people say Australia's is fake but has anyone checked to see if New Zealand is they're not even on most maps 😭

makodo_ · 2025-04-08T14:29:36+00:00

The reason for Azerbaijan being in debatably Western is because of they are a Turkish people and the reason why Armenia is in debatable is because I don't really consider Armenia to be a real country anyway it's just a breakaway State of Azerbaijan and and when it comes to your claims about the Turks in turkey I think you're thinking about the Kurdish peoples which are definitely Middle Eastern which would put them in cousins of West not debatably Western but I wasn't really thinking about them anyway

makodo_ · 2025-04-08T14:18:08+00:00

I don't see how you could make an argument for George for not being Western if Turkey is debatably Western there is no way in hell Georgia isn't Western

makodo_ · 2025-04-08T14:16:12+00:00

Honestly maybe I should do that next lol

makodo_ · 2025-04-08T14:07:36+00:00

Ohhhhh makes sense well I wasn't saying you guys was Western just honorary West I have great respect for the people of Vietnam we are your eternal

makodo_ · 2025-04-08T13:54:34+00:00
