How should the semi-civilized, semi-respectable, semi-free nations of the West deal with the savage, monstrous, slave nations of the world – mostly animated by socialism, Islam, and Third World tribalist dictatorship?
First, the semi-liberal Western peoples should attempt to overthrow the totalitarian governments controlling these threatening and suffering nations. The West should try to set up a properly free society with a libertarian and capitalist legal structure. But if this involves too much time and effort, or costs too much money and lives, or harms too many semi-innocents in the slave states, then the Westerners should attempt to educate the barbarians in the ways of social libertarianism and economic capitalism – however poorly they understand them. But if the dictatorships won’t much allow this propagandization, via their censorship, then the West needs at least to militarily arm and defend itself against these naturally aggressive, warring, conquering nations.
The semi-civilized Western peoples also need to break off all diplomatic, economic, social, and cultural ties with the monster nations. They need to employ common sense and avoid befriending, enriching, and arming their enemies. The West should totally isolate the pariah peoples – shunning and boycotting them till they stop behaving like animals.
Such activities will tend to impoverish the tyrannical regimes radically. And it will withdraw the West’s moral support – which is a quietly powerful weapon. It will undercut the barbarians philosophically and psychologically. It will tend to break their hearts and spirits. It should render their dictatorial leaders weak, and highly subject to internal and external defeat.
Next, the quasi-free peoples should explicitly condemn the intellectual and moral leaders of the monster nations. They should loudly let them know how intellectually, morally, and spiritually bankrupt they are. The West should also intellectually refute and morally damn the people for their rotten ideology. They should condemn the masses for following along with their bad leaders, and all of their bad ideas and ideals. The semi-free Western peoples should command them to overthrow their evil leadership.
Next, the relatively good nations of the earth should somehow find a way to educate the bestial nations. Despite all their government resistance and censorship, the West needs to figure out how to propagandize their intellectual and political leaders, along with the masses. Teach these backward monkeys some ideas and ideals with a lot more truth and morality in them than this wretched business of socialism, Islam, and Third World tribalist dictatorship.
Of course, it would help indescribably if the Western nations themselves were far more rational and liberal. Far more civilized, respectable, and free. Far more socially libertarian and economically capitalist.
That way, the Western peoples could teach and propagandize by example. This technique for influencing others is immensely powerful and almost cost-free. Moreover, a truly rational, liberal, and free West would quickly acquire enormous wealth, high technology, and military weaponry with which to defend itself, as well as to liberate the savage and enslaved nations.
Yep! Agree 100%.
ReplyDeleteTdub1941 -- Thanks! Altho I didn't say EVERYTHING I wanted to in that mini-essay. I couldn't squeeze in the fact that the semi-good Western nations also need to exclude the savages from the United Nations, World Trade Organization, World Health Organization, Olympics, international sports, and the like.
