Because in the typical euroid fashion, they still believe they have superior opinions.

Because in the typical euroid fashion, they still believe they have superior opinions.

An elegant way of conveying a thought I've had for a while, that being that when eugenics and the open discussion of killing the poor and the mentally disabled was publicly talked about, and how acceptable colonialism was, they thought themselves superior to the non-Western world; when they realized it was insane and evil and stopped, they still believed themselves superior. There doesn't seem to be a point where they see the rest of the world as equals.

They understand that all people are equal....unlike all those lesser people who don't realize that.

That is the essential contradiction of modern liberal eurocentrism. They uphold a basic rejection of their own actions being bad, as why they ARE still superior. Everything is couched in this exclusivity
