They already Community Noted her - Clare Daly is a highly controversial Irish politician who was accused of nepotism, support for dictators like Putin and Assad, causing divide in European parliamentary left, and arguably doesn't represent not just dead Irish ancestors but also majority of living Irish.
Westernism has less to do with geography and more to do with ideology and fanatical adherence to white supremacist-coded capitalism
Otherwise, the phrase "Australia is a western country" wouldn't seem so normal despite its geographical ludicrousness
Yes I think if you define it more based on Western bloc vs Eastern bloc lines I'm more inclined to agree. But to me "Western" is more of a cultural label than a political one, so it seemed weird.
Even if you defined it culturally, the "west" would still end at the US/Mexican border, the Polish border, Gibraltar, and the Nauru/Manus Islands
You don't think Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are Western? Or Panama?
Western enclaves sure, but western inherently? Absolutely not
To add to that, Spain also has enclaves in north africa, so clearly you are including PR given you said it ends at Gibraltar, heck like half of Italy and Malta are south of Gibraltar.
I mean, they said the US Mexico border, I think if Mexico isn't included then it's fair enough to say the Caribbean isn't either. Honestly, after giving it more thought, I think they're right. My definition is pretty much ad hoc.
A culture of white supremacy and Liberal Fascist colonialism
The West TM, the inheritor of "the roman empire" is fascist and always has been. There's a reason why USA, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Britain were all obsessed with the Roman Empire and emulated it constantly and believed it to be the pinnacle of history. It's because they're all fascists. That's what it means to be "The West"
