One might wonder if covering ethnocentrism in class discussions might segway right on into racism, then into Critical Race Theory (CRT), then naturally over into DEI.

Seems some are exposed to this all the way from Head Start through their sixth or seventh year of college.

I am proud to be white, to be Christian, and to be an American. And I will not apologize for any of those traits. Neither should European people who are white and may be Christian. That does not take away from other nations, religions, or races.

But, for the last 60 years, we have been told we are the source of not just wrong acts, but literally all evil. It's not just the polite mealymouthed term "ethnocentrism." It's a planned and long carried out war on the West. And that is sheer insanity, fueled by Marxism and self interest groups and their feeble minded campus, clergy, and Congressional minions.

But, as he said, Russians believe their nation is the greatest. And they should. We would crush them in a second on equal terms, but they are nearly invincible in defense. A long history and a history of education.

Yet the MSM and Marxist haters have screeched about "nationalism" in the US for 20 years as a pejorative. And then they added "Christian nationalism," howling this week at peak level, about patriots. They push Globalism as hard as the crooked Clintons and Bidens. For profit for the pseudo-elite.

What they are doing is code speak for outright racism against whites and hate for their country. To hell with them. We understand their goal: the destruction of Western European values and heritage. Go to hell, or, back where you belong, some dystopian failed nation who has hardly had a written language for 400 years. Your choice.

As with any country in the history of this earth the greatness always depends on who you ask. For some people it's fantastic for others it's hell. The USA is no different. We're just a work in progress but we're really trying to be great for as many people as possible not just a few. That's about as good as it gets in this world of selfish human beings.

9:46 Pride in accomplishment is a truly worthy trait. Pride in attributes which you did not earn or accomplish is simple bullshit, the cause of unnecessary animosity and arrogance. Shame for crimes or misdeeds which you did not commit are the same, bullshit. There should be great pride in our accomplishment and the work we do, not the race or appearance we were born to. We had no choice in that. We take no personal credit for being born this or that. But also we take no blame. I am not ashamed of being white. Why should I be? But I do not take "pride" in it any more than I take pride in being left handed. I reject false pride like I reject blame for acts I did not commit. I get along with people on that basis. Am I wrong?

Call it what you want, but objective analysis reveals some things as clearly superior. Don’t ever apologize for wanting better, expecting better, working better or especially achieving better.

A great country doesn’t pardon 1500 criminals or drop the security clearance for former government servants because of personal vendettas.

This is the most hilariously asinine thing I have ever read. Adopting the judeo sect call "christianity" has been the worst thing Europeans have ever done. It should have stayed in the desert with the reset of the bronze-age Semitic religions. The future footnote into why whites disappeared will be Judeo-Christian Zionism.

You hate yourself. You hate America. Or you have a humble brag attitude, "I scoff at other's pride." Strange, and sad.

A great country doesn't pardon child killers and multiple cop killers and 3000 dopers who included child killers, along with their entire crime family, while serving China for self enrichment. That's treason.

I was wondering what this dude would write about now that his lord and savior had been elected. Still fearmongering. America is fine. Americans who hate on America are in the minority. These are college students. DJT won the popular vote touting America first. So, yeah.

The problems just seem to always happen to me. Now I am suffering from another problem and one I never knew about. Is there some medication I should go by walmart and pick up to cure me from ethnocentrism? Or is it one of those things that $19 a month, only 43 cents a day will cure?

What fearmongering?

January 25, 2025 at 11:19 AM, I pity people like you.

I thought the magic sauce was the cost of groceries and starving grannie and the poors?

Buying memecoins can be both a prevention (don't call it an innoculation) and a cure. Only if you buy the right ones though! No need to even get up out the chair.

God Bless Us and please HELP Us use the gifts You gave us!

No country has achieved Utopia. It's not Marxism to suggest ways we can improve or borrow good ideas that work well in other countries. We have done that since our founding. Every nation on earth has borrowed things from other countries. We didn't invent f'ing everything!

Not every idea of the GOP is fascist nor all Democrats ideas socialist or Marxist. Those are party fear tactics to scare you into supporting everything they do without looking too closely at where the money goes!

To paraphrase a tweet I saw: This is a terrible time to have a brain and to be able to comprehend what you read and the ability to listen. He should have tried a dictionary for ethnocentrism and realize it includes the word "preconceptions" about other countries without knowing a damn thing about their culture. Or as the Bible would put it , it's being " puffed up". Disciples went to other countries, you know and learned to appreciate in time why some didn't eat pork ( that problem with getting worms if it wasn't cooked enough) or ate fish on Fridays ( when the boats came in and it was fresh before there was refrigeration).
Being deliberately and arrogantly ignorant is going to kill a lot of Americans. Actually, it already has.1,219,487 of us.

What country did that?

January 26, 2025 at 9:18 AM, yeah, and you probably thought the Cackle Mistress was going to beat Trump.

@ 10:49 - Please point me to any Biblical reference of 'puffed up'.

Spot on.

So we are to believe the biblical fishermen only fished one day a week so everyone could eat fresh fish on only Fridays? What were they doing the rest of the days of the weeK?

January 26, 2025 at 1:06 PM, I'm not 10:49, but the verse is 1 Corinthians 8:1.
