Westerners BTFO

>>18288345
Violence is based actually

>>18288345
Wouldn't that statement btfo non-westerners instead?
>>
The west won, that's all it matters.
>>
>>18288345
the west won the world in the 20th century, by force.
China is winning the world in the 21st century, by money.

>>18288345
This quote isn't meant to be a dunk on the West, but on liberals who forget how the world works when they advocate for soft policing and border control
>>
>>18288345
The West’s capacity to organize violence is downstream of its values and knowledge. Every time you wave your dead brown baby around for the camera just remember that we preserved the idea of jus in bellum and created the notion of human rights and international law.

*jus in bello

All this proves is that ideas, values, and religion don't mean anything if you suck at war.

Europe's success was due to their technological advantage, their "superiority in applying organized violence" was just an after effect of this and the colonies were never a significant part of the economy until the industrial revolution was well underway. The first economically productive steam engine was not stolen from Wakanda or built with nutmeg and Aztec gold, it was built with European manufacturing techniques and technology.

The Mongol Empire totally contradicts Huntingdon's theory. Here we have a meritocratic system that managed to unify a patchwork of steppe tribes and perform sophisticated maneuvers in battle and even recruit Chinese and Muslim engineers and artisans to assist them where their own native technology fell short in manufacturing equipment, siege warfare, building roads and bridges and so forth. This stood in contrast to the constantly quarreling feudal barons of Europe who rarely allowed commoners authority beyond captain of a band of mercenaries. In various battles they were able to assemble 100k soldiers, numbers that would not be matched in Europe until the Napoleonic wars.

They were larger, more powerful and sophisticated than any European polity in the 13th century. So where was the Mongol age of sail? Why did they not seek to build a fleet of exploration ships and send them all over the world after their struggles against Japan and Vietnam, where a navy would be useful for obvious reasons. It could have been the beginning of a new era of colonization in the malay archipelago as the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese accomplished and later India and the Americas.

Because.. they just didn't have the technology to do this. Seems obvious, but apparently the obvious can be conveniently omitted by pseudohistorians like Huntington who are trying to be edgy and don't care about reality and this is enough for it to become a pop-his meme, especially since it appeals to said "non-westerners".

>The west only won because you're better at fighting, chud!
This is not the dunk you think it is, anon.
>>
>>18288345
>sooo the West won not because they were stronger, but because they knew how to use their strenght more efficiently
Ok
>>
>>18288345
>Western people were better at organizing and fighting due to high IQ and high grip strength
In pure natural terms, Whites are the superior race.
If a pack of wolves is larger, stronger, more organized in how they compete, and they outcompete other packs, we all agree they are superior.
>>
>>18288345
Amazing how it's literally 100% wrong. The West's superiority comes from its emphasis on concrete results over appearances and stable, late-marriage family units, which are necessary conditions for superiority in organised violence. Non-Westerners always forget this which is why they never try to emulate the West, but simply to oppose it, leading to them getting constantly BTFO.
>>
>>18288540
Whites only started to dominate after firearms tho
Also if you talking combat sports
Its generally dominated by blacks, churkas or south americans
>>18288549
>west
>stable mariage
Lmao hahahhahahahahah

>>18288476
They were not more technologically advanced, other countries has superior sea faring, trade links and developed science.
The west had superior organisation after existential threats that allowed it to take the developments elsewhere and fashion it for war like rome.

>>18288476
>people who live by the ocean are better at sailing than people who live in the steppe
shocker

And yet they could use their captured engineers to build fleet as they did in Korea to build fleet to drop them to Japan, as you mentioned. The Mongol empire collapsed politically. It was glued by one person.
>>
>>18289885
Being able to build a ship does not necessarily mean large trading vessels can sail all over the world. Korea could build a fleet of junks to cross the sea of Japan, but nothing like the Portuguese Caravels.

Britain took over Bengal when outnumbered like 10 to 1. Before that a single British warship was enough to pressure local rulers into submission. During these wars a few French or British cannon operators was enough to turn the tide of a battle. And then again, why were they there in the first place? Why didn't brown people come to Europe and take it over? It doesn't have anything worth taking? OK but neither did certain parts of India and Africa. Why didn't those people rise up and take over bits of the world that had the resources they lacked? The goodness of their hearts, they're just "nicer" than white people? Sounds ridiculous but that's what a lot of them really think. The winner is bad, the loser is good - unless they're wininng of course.

Less than 0.1% of the European population was actually involved in conquering the rest of the world. Everyday life in Europe revolved around the harvest and maybe European trade in the towns cities where 10% to 20% of the population lived. Less than 0.2% of the population of Britain was nonwhite until the postwar era.

The sudden influx of minorities is an aberration in history and it is due to Europe adopting literal socialism and America its "progressivism" and voluntarily decolonizing and trying to create a Wilsonian order where the world is a patchwork of independent democratic states following in the example of Anglo liberalism with the notion brown people are low crime high IQ high trust white people who are a different color and that trad values would be maintained in society indefinitely.

And, you know, the system did last decades and oversaw a period of enormous prosperity and freedom and continued technological development, but now the high IQ population is declining and becoming more degenerate while AI and other new developments will spark an arms race I fear for the future, it is rather like the 1920s and 1930s with rapid advances in aircraft, tanks, radar and potential nuclear and chemical weapons on the horizon. We may have to once again master organized violence, and boy will it be "organized".

This is what they actually believe though. They have 0 notion of what it takes to carefully research something and arrive at an accurate answer, they just believe whatever they want to believe, at best what "sounds right". Of course they are not going to listen to some cracker and if they do they are unlikely to do so for long or understand what you are saying.

And these people vote in your elections. Democracy depends on voter IQ, and as IQ drops and all these people practice ethnic nepotism and are convinced it is totally justified. This has always been the greatest threat to liberty, if you allow every homeless person to crash at your place, eventually a drug addict will tear the copper out of the walls or a pedophile will rape your daughter, and this is exactly what is happening, minorities causing crime to skyrocket, pakistani rape gangs raping kids. It isn't even like the homeless example where if someone is out in the cold they can at least shelter in your garage, here we have people who are "suffering" because they are stuck living among their own kind and want to move into a nice developed country built by white people, they created their own mess and now want to drag it everywhere else and despite all the DEI and social welfare and leftists fawning over them and defending the rape gangs against "islamophobia" they still possess racial hatred toward white people. It is insane this was ever allowed to happen.

They of course claim colonial wealth built the western world, but the first steam engine wasn't made out of nutmeg and Aztec gold, no one stole the technology from Wakanda. Economics doesn't work like that, your fortunes in life are overwhelmingly due to your role in the modern economy not shit that happened long before you were born. Everything is downstream from aryan values and knowledge.
