    Cultural chauvinism is the belief that one’s own culture is superior to others, often leading to prejudice against different cultural groups. This concept is commonly discussed in the context of international relations and communication, highlighting how such attitudes can affect interactions between nations and ethnicities.

    A subset of…

    Chauvinism is the unreasonable belief in the superiority or dominance of one’s own group or people, who are seen as strong and virtuous, while others are considered weak, unworthy, or inferior The Encyclopaedia Britannica describes it as a form of “excessive and unreasonable” patriotism and nationalism, a fervent faith in national excellence and glory.

    Which is not the same as…

    White supremacy is the belief that white people are superior to those of other races.The belief favors the maintenance and defense of any power and privilege held by white people. White supremacy has roots in the now-discredited doctrine of scientific racism and was a key justification for European colonialism.

    You would also do well to pay attention to the events of Daryl Davis.

    On top of books and many studies on this, there’s also documentaries and reports if your attention span so needs this.

    Or, you know, it’s all bullshit and you know best!

    A sponge is wet. The ocean is wet. Therefore sponges are oceans. And saltesc is dumb.

      I know that cultural chauvinism exists and what it is.

      That doesn’t change the fact that Kirk used the language of cultural chauvinism as code for racial chauvinism and that that’s exactly what his followers understood it as. AKA a classic dog whistle.

      The ocean is wet

      And saltesc is dumb.

      Truest statements from you yet.

        So a person that never spoke as or acted as a white supremesist, said they weren’t a white supremecist, and very regularly condemned white supremecy and implored for its removal from society, was indeed actually a white supremecist in your mind because…what, you have a hunch? You just prefer it that way for your narrative? It’s just totally fine to twist things into other things when it suits what you want?

        There are so many things to be said about this piece of shit but you’re just not winning hard enough you gotta do exactly what they do. Except I’m sure you think it’s okay when you try push misinformation onto others, huh? Because it’s either that or you genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about, actually believe it, and choose to disregard the put forward to you as hopefully not for realsies, even though a quick search will show you that they are and very abundantly so.

          Unless you count the constant dog whistles that you’re suspiciously adamant about giving him the benefit of unreasonable doubt on.

          said they weren’t a white supremecist

          So did the KKK until they realized that it was safe to take the hood off.

          very regularly condemned white supremecy and implored for its removal from society

          Yeah, I very much doubt it. I’m gonna need at least one example.

          was indeed actually a white supremecist

          Yes, he was.

          because…what, you have a hunch?

          Nope, because of his constant white supremacy apologia poorly disguised as “defending Western culture”.

          You just prefer it that way for your narrative? It’s just totally fine to twist things into other things when it suits what you want?

          Did you get distracted and start talking to yourself or are you REALLY unaware that you’re projecting more than a whole cinema

          There are so many things to be said about this piece of shit

          True.

          you’re just not winning hard enough you gotta do exactly what they do

          Nonsense. Calling a racist a racist is exactly what the fascists DON’T do.

          I’m sure you think it’s okay when you try push misinformation onto others, huh?

          Nope. That’s why I don’t do that.

          Because it’s either that or you genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about, actually believe it, and choose to disregard the put forward to you as hopefully not for realsies, even though a quick search will show you that they are and abundantly so.

          This you?
