In my opinion, “the West” is (nearly) a synonym of “the imperial core”. I have met a lot of non-white people who live in “the West” and embody a lot of what I hate about “white people” (the selfishness, for example). My point is that apart from people who actively fight against it (most leftists, for example), people who live in the West in general adhere to, follow, promote, etc, Capitalist Ideology. This is less the case for those living in the Global South (in my experience).

    Yeah, couple of random things about that: i seen a couple of times in the chilean sibbredit that we are living in a western culture because “the east doesnt represent us”

    Also once i saw a chilean youtuber saying “that sort of weird things are allowed in france because they dont have the same western sensitivities as us”
