"Why does Russia not earn their full support? “Putin is not a communist.” “The Communist Party of Russian Fed. is homophobic.” “Christian nationalism is fascism.” The last one gets me the most. If that is true, Islamic nationalism has to be fascist too and that puts all Islamic Republics, from Pakistan to a future liberated Palestine, in the crosshairs of the Left."

Nailed it.

This quote by Dugin supports your article.

"Hitler’s racism, however, is only one form of racism — this type of

racism is the most obvious, straightforward, and biological, and therefore

the most repulsive. There are other forms of racism — cultural (asserting

that there are high and low cultures), civilisational (dividing people into

those civilised and those insufficiently civilised), technological (viewing

technological development as the main criterion for the value of a society),

social (stating, in the spirit of the Protestant doctrine of predestination, that

the rich are the best and the greatest as compared to the poor), economic (in

which all humanity is ranked according to the degree of material wellbeing),

and evolutionary (for which it is axiomatic that human society is the

result of biological development, in which the basic processes of the

evolution of species — survival of the fittest, natural selection, and so on —

continue today). European and American societies are fundamentally

afflicted with these types of racism, unable to eradicate them from itself

despite intensive efforts. Being fully aware of how revolting this

phenomenon is, people in the West tend to make racism a taboo. However,

all this turns into a witch hunt — new pariahs accused of ‘fascism’ are its

victims, often for no apparent reason."

The thing that is plaguing the West is Jewish control over Western institutions. The racism you're seeing isn't coming from white Europeans, it's coming from Talmudic Zionist supremacists who own academia, media, entertainment ect. and their Rothschild funded shabbos goys and freemasons.

The fact that you can't hold office in the US without taking a pledge of allegiance to Israel and grovel before AIPAC tells you all you need to know.

And the fact that all of this supposed racism that Dugin talks about never affects the Jews and the state of Israel is further evidence.

Look at where the attacks of the West converge: Do they converge on race? Nope, you're not even allowed to discuss race anymore. Do they converge on culture? Nope, you're not even allowed to discuss cultural differences anymore.

Rather the attacks converge on religion. Namely the stamping out of any form of traditionalist religious faith system be it Christianity, Islam, or Hinduism. That's why issues about abortion, women's rights, sodomites ect. are prioritized, because these are matters of religious values. Yet notice how Talmudic Judaism is never attacked on these points.

This is a Jewish war on religious traditionalism which has historically resisted Jewish Talmudic subversion.

That's what Dugin won't tell you. Instead he'll harken back to "Muh Hitler" and "Muh Waycism" just as ignorant Neocons in the West will talk about "Muh Chicoms" and "Muh Islamofascists" "Muh Commies".

All of these ignorant low hanging fruit talking points designed to distract and obscure what is really going on.

That's why Dugin is a useless ideologue whose thinking is bogged down in abstract concepts and utopianist nonsense. Moreover he's a satanist who celebrates white genocide, not remotely a traditionalist. He is the anti-thesis of what Orthodox Christian traditionalist Putin is doing in restoring Tsarist Russia. And the idea that Dugin is whispering in Putin's ear is a Western media canard which isn't remotely true. The two have never even met.

Spot on. I disagree with your formulation about ‘modernism’ though. As some ‘bad western element’. Modernism is dead in the west. We killed it, fascism made us scared, made us think that modernism would bring out the ‘monster in us all’, when in reality it was just capitalism kicking its legs in death cramps, in fear of the fact that real modernity would lead to its end.

China has revived the true ideals behind modernity, modernity is a eternal a stage of development just as communism is, they need to coexist to keep on improving the lives of the ordinary people.

I can respect that. Communism was always in opposition to western modernity for me in that it sublates it to a higher stage

“The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.” - Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, 1852

Basically the western "left" in one sentence. It's all LARP of dead, non-threatening forms of "resistance" twisted into an effective force for snuffing out any real resistance or support for geopolitical allies.

What Dr. Ali alludes to with his comment about "Anglo-Zionism" but ultimately fails to point out is that white Europeans are no longer in charge of the West.

Jews run our media, academia, politics, entertainment industry ect.

When Blinken meets up with Zelensky you're not watching "Western imperialists plotting against the East". You're watching two Jews meeting up to discuss how best to kill the goyim.

Dr. Ali is pondering why all of these "Western Liberals" seem to be so hypocritical Schizophrenic. Yet isn't the same true for (((Marx))) and (((Lenin))) and other Eastern-Communist ideologues?

These people spoke about a communist utopia which provided equality and wealth for all whilst genociding 100 million people in the 20th century mostly due to famine and abject poverty.

So it seems both the Western Neo-liberal/Neocon/Capitalist elites and the Eastern Communist elites are full of shit. So how can this be explained: Simply by pointing to the fact that all of these ideologies share the same origin: Talmudic Jew lies designed to subvert and subject the world under the guise of Tikkun Olam.

Rather than arguing about which bogus ideology is best and setting up false dialectics of "East vs West", why don't we actually look at (((who))) is behind all of this mess.

What makes Putin and in many respects Xi Jingping great is that they have discarded this ideological baggage in favour of doing what's best for their own people. And fighting actual existential (Jewish) threats to their people rather than getting bogged down in the ideological swamp.

Can't be trendy and contrarian at once. The trendy position was deriding Qatar, not over any of it's geopolitical policies, but rules it placed at a public event it hosted based on local customs etc. (which it has a right to do). Second, Tel-Aviv is a bastion of liberal progressive values so not sure about comparing the Zionist project to this Gulf state. Besides, this article is about cultural imperialism, not some review on MENA geopolitics. Stick to the subject if you have criticism

Imperialism strategically takes many forms. There is direct military intervention, economic strangulation, and soft power through cultural, social, and academic institutions. How do you think Azov and Islamic fundamentalism were fomented? Iran currently faces a similar tactic but fundamentalism failed there. Liberal progressivism is the new strategy to rally the Reformist faction against the Islamic state, for one example. Your type have a problem accepting this reality. This is exactly why China (another example) clamps down on foreign cultural influence with their Great Firewall and regulation of media. It's also why Russia just passed it's LGBT law now of all times, they understand the tactic.

"bickering of factions within the imperial body politic" is right. the irony of this is just how much it centres a Western view on world politics. Yes, I know that because of U.S. imperialism the anti-imperialist stance is one that acknowledges the U.S. as a global militarily, culturally, economically, hegemonic force. However, the point of reducing criticisms of LGBT+ rights in Qatar to "respecting cultural values"/"the national right to self determination" is so extremely out of touch of what Qatar (and countries like it) are. Firstly, I want to say that I actually agree with you, I am an Egyptian woman raised in Saudi Arabia and I am currently visiting family in Qatar. We are all sick and tired of hearing the West go on and on about LGBT rights and whatnot, talking down to us like we are stupid uncivilised idiots, we laugh at them at their idiocy instead. They are not angry or upset about having the prospect of LGBT rights shoved in their faces, or talk of homophobia and whatnot (at least they have not vocalised it, although my family is pretty homophobic) - they are annoyed and fed up with the West (which to them, they see as inferior) telling them what to do. And I agree with them 100%. In the words of one of my cousins: it's not the message I have a problem with, it's who is saying it. However, with all of that being said, at the end of the day I am an Arab dyke who has had to live and suffer under this oppressive system my whole fuckin life! As a WOMAN, I have been extremely aware of the struggle from a very, very young age. As a gay woman, it has been a whole other struggle on top of it. When someone like you, aka, a man living in the West, speaks of "respecting national self determination" and respecting Khaleeji cultural values - whose cultural values are we respecting? Whose national self determination are we respecting? The upholders of islamic patriarchy, of islamic fascism that has breeds (intellectually and financially) groups like ISIS as part of the imperialist project, as absolute fuckin lapdogs of the USA, are we meant to respect the right to national self determination for such countries? My whole point being this shit with Qatar literally hits home for me (and again, even then, Qatar is considered more open and less strict than Saudi Arabia, especially the Saudi Arabia I grew up in) and I disagree with the West shoving down their views as a method of some kinda moral superiority game ushered in with the upkeep of cultural imperialism. However, I could never say that the conclusion of this is to simply respect Qatari customs or self determination. Change won't and will never come from the West, and with that, it won't come from Westerners like you trying to do that whole "respect the non-Western country at all costs" thing without recognising the humanity and frailty of people living and suffering under these systems, including the women you go on about in your essay. I could go on and on, I've not even touched upon the issue of migrant workers rights in the Khaleej, the treatment of proletariat (also primarily migrant) women, or all the issues that come from outsiders, particularly from the West, interfering with cultural commentary - whether it is the silly liberal thinking they are making a point by going on about LGBT rights in Qatar or the Western communist dismissing and erasing the struggle of ordinary folk and upholding the social, cultural, and economic power of the state and its patriarchs instead.

History proves that societies are built by patriarchs and destroyed by matriarchs.

The most stable societies are the ones where the irrational opinions of "dykes" and women in general are disregarded.

Sadly this seems to be a biological fact, no matter how many angry women rail against it.

The reason you feel oppressed by the system is because you insist on rebelling against decency and tradition, refusing to accept normalcy, be it normal heterosexuality or normal biological gender roles where the woman submits to the man. This is not society's fault, this is your fault. Just as it isn't the fault of society that those who feel sexually attracted to animals are "oppressed" by anti-bestiality laws.

You are waging a war against normalcy whilst complaining that the world is in such an abnormal state. This is delusional.
