Good question Any country that is a Democracy and believes and practices things like human rights and freedom of speech and religion and believes in a free market where the Private sector grows the economy but government supports them What is your definition? Your idea of Western Culture is a state with neoliberal ideals? Im not sure what you mean by that? Whats your definition of neoliberal? I mean you're defining "Western Culture" as a state that practices an economic theory favoring free trade, privatization, and minimal government intervention in business. Okay yes we need to separate the economic definition from social polices....like freedom of speech The economic definition is important as without an inclusive, robust and growing economy you don't have much. So I agree with all your points but not the " minimal government intervention " I use to think any government intervention was automatically a bad thing but after 2008 I understand why you need institutions like SEC but they need to be competent and have people working for them who understand the financial sector In the USA its fine but in South Africa our government has no understanding of what is best for the private sector How is a government a culture? Your definition of "Western Culture" is confusing because it equates culture with state and requires a specific ideology when many other ideologies have arisen in the West. Furthermore it discounts historical West from being "Western Culture" because they did not practice some form of liberalism.

Too bad Tsipras bitched out on refusing austerity.

Again you assume a vacuum, this time with Africa being isolated to Africa after colonial powers left. The material conditions of post-colonial Africa were not geared towards the creation of self-sustaining states, they were built on the foundations of colonies supporting a colonial power with various resources and in turn received financial and governmental(or military) support from said power. In addition, many former colonies consisted of tribes that did not have the best relations and as such viewed each other as enemies. With this in mind, its utterly ridiculous to assume that said former colonies could transform into Europe 2: African Boogaloo in two decades simply by imitating the ideology of Western States with very different (current) material conditions who themselves did not become what they were in a period of twenty years. The same holds true for the ME. You have a region populated by antagonistic groups whose main resource is oil exports and is influenced by outside powers in various, often neurotic, ways. Middle Eastern states can not be radically changed simply by adopting a "Western Ideology", which itself is an unrealistic expectation given current conditions, and will not restructure themselves into states with the same living standards simply by applying a new coat of ideology. When has that ever stopped you before?

The EU just gave Turkey a sweet deal.

This guy experienced the terrors of leftism first hand and lived to tell the tale: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/3ucp8y/i_was_beat_up_by_left_anarchists_in_greece/ I bet he knows how to fix Europe.

Congratulations Shady. May your marriage forever be filled with joy.

Will? It's been that way for quite a while mate.

Well the first use of the term was used to describe anarchists. The current usage describes classical liberalism, which makes sense because the overton window in the west has narrowed to various forms of liberalism.

Isn't KP supporting Bernie Sanders. Wasn't that guy against such measures? Also when did WoD say he was in favor of an all-seeing all-powerful government? KP is supporting the Commie Tsunami because he wants to destroy the freedom to be watched by the all powerful government and shifts the overton window.

Might as well say all humans are Africans. Not all, but some...far eastern peoples are not from Africa... I think you missed the joke, all humans have genetics roots that trace back to Africa (something you could have found out with a few seconds of research): "Homo erectus were the first of the hominina to leave Africa, and this species spread through Africa, Asia, and Europe between 1.3 to 1.8 million years ago. One population of H. erectus, also sometimes classified as a separate species Homo ergaster, stayed in Africa and evolved into Homo sapiens." "This would suggest several different species of humans co-existing in Africa around two million years ago with only one of them surviving and eventually evolving into our species, Homo sapiens. It is as if nature was experimenting with different versions of the same evolutionary configuration until one succeeded." Those are hardly the best sources but good enough to prove my point. Like i said, not all, but some...some human come from Atlantis....especially SEA peoples. My people was Atlanteans. And the Jews are your reptilian enemies from Planet X right?

What the heck did I just read!? This is madness! I have so many questions! A) Why is he named patriotpony1986? If patriotpony was already taken then why not just choose a different friggin' name? B) Ayn Rand is not a conservative. So why is a "proud conservative" trying to enmesh her philosophy with things. C) My little pony contains huge amounts of mysticism and mystic thinking which Ayn Rand despises thus making the values of objectivism and MLP incompatible. Why would some one so obsessed with Ayn Rand that he tries to enmesh her philosophy into stuff not be aware of this? D) He says that if we meet that HE IS THE MAN in the relationship. What does that even mean? E) How does he talk about the liberal agenda as something that is eroding freedom in Equestria if he wants to enmesh Equestria with Ayn Rand's values? Does he not realize that Ayn Rand is a liberal? It's a 26 year old obsessed with a children's show, it shouldn't make sense. ... We all realize that's from a dating website right? That makes it funnier.

Liberals and feminists support these empowering new job opportunities. Clearly this shows how well austerity and the free-market can both empower women and stimulate the sandwich industry. Take that Emma Goldman.
