Which point of his was "party propaganda"? The idea that any country or region is a fundamental source of "good" or a fundamental source of "evil" is simply wrong.

And if you try to sell to the rest of the world that has been at the receiving end of genocidal colonialism by various European countries, that Europe would now be the "good" superpower, you will be laughed at at best. More likely the countries in question will schedule another meeting with their weapons salesmen from Russia and China to increase their deterrent capabilities against another European invasion.

It is also a bad idea internally to hype up a new "European" nationalism as a response to Trumps and Putins nationalism. We should have learned by now, that this will always end badly.

This is the most reasonable perspective in this thread.

Thanks for actually responding with some interest in having a conversation. I think the hostility I see towards questioning European nationalism is kind of just proving my point here.

The attempt to redefine human rights is party propaganda, literally.

Pretending like the human race has never tried authoritarianism before and using that to excuse authoritarian trash is literal Chinese propaganda.

Hope this helps

There is no objective definition of "human rights". It's completely subjective and political. The common definition ignores obvious human needs like air, water, etc. for the purposes of enforcing capitalism. It's pseudo-scientific bootlicking to insist on the preferred usage of your state, capitalists, lords, etal.

Yeah no

You're barking off literal party propaganda like a trained dog.

Get a grip

the best propaganda is true

Anything that questions western white supremacy is apparently "party propaganda" to you.

Redefining "human rights" to include a right to food and water is not "party propaganda". I literally quoted George Carlin. You seem to think "the party" is under your bed. You sound paranoid.
