    it’s the leftist equivalent of saying western civilization and including Japan and Australia in what you are saying.

    Japan is a client state of the US which is a country made of European conquerors' descendants, and Australia is a country made up of European conquerors' descendants. They are part of 'western' (european) civilization.
