all qwyatt on the western front

How da O.K. Corral was after Mr. Earp and his law-enforcement associates engaged in their famous shootout and subdued or eliminated all of da noisily-gun-blasting outlaws.

If da outlaw gang "Cowboys" had simply followed da "no guns within city limits" ordinance and thus not run afoul of da local marshals, things might have remained "all qwyatt on the western front" for everyone involved.

The most western Balkan

The most western Balkan is a derogatory term that describes Portugal because Portugal has the same values on charts as the Balkan nations.

Look Portugal is clearly just the most western Balkan. Why else would they have the same amount of child mortality!

Victims of Western Colonialism Memorial Foundation

An institution focused on chronicling the immense, ongoing human and cultural cost of European and American colonial projects from the 15th century to modern neo-colonialism. Its scope encompasses genocide, slavery, famines engineered by resource extraction, cultural erasure, and the drawing of arbitrary borders causing perpetual conflict. It aims to center the narratives of the colonized, challenging the sanitized, "civilizing mission" history still prevalent in Western education.

Victims of Western Colonialism Memorial Foundation Example: This foundation's flagship project could be a global digital map of resource curses, showing how a village in the Congo devastated by coltan mining for smartphones, a neighborhood in Puerto Rico bankrupted by debt colonialism, and a community in the Niger Delta poisoned by oil spills are all linked as Victims of Western Colonialism across time and space.

Victims of Western Imperialism Memorial Foundation

A sister organization to the Colonialism foundation, with a sharper focus on 20th and 21st-century military, economic, and political domination by Western powers (primarily the US and its allies). It memorializes those killed in proxy wars, drone strikes, and coups; societies destabilized by structural adjustment programs; and democracies subverted by intelligence agencies to install puppet regimes friendly to Western corporate interests.

Victims of Western Imperialism Memorial Foundation Example: The foundation might publish an annual "Body Count" report, tallying casualties from interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Yemen, while also quantifying the Victims of Western Imperialism through metrics like lifelong refugees created, children malnourished due to sanctions, and democratically-elected leaders overthrown.

Justification against Victims of Western Colonialism and Imperialism

The argument that the violence, extraction, and cultural destruction of colonialism were ultimately beneficial, necessary, or outweighed by introduced “gifts” like infrastructure, borders, or religion. It positions the victimized societies as primitive beneficiaries of Western intervention, framing conquest as salvation.

Justification against Victims of Western Colonialism and Imperialism Example: “Yes, the colonial period was harsh, but it ended tribal warfare and gave them modern states and Christianity.” This justification acknowledges harm only to immediately discount it by asserting a superior alternative was provided, framing the violence as a difficult but necessary education.

Rationalization against Victims of Western Colonialism and Imperialism

The use of historical counterfactuals, geopolitical realism, or cultural relativism to explain away imperial violence as a product of its time, an unavoidable human tendency, or a practice no worse than “what local empires did.” It seeks to normalize and de-exceptionalize the violence.

Rationalization against Victims of Western Colonialism and Imperialism Example: “Every great civilization has expanded. The Europeans were just better at it. It’s naive to judge them by today’s standards.” This rationalization removes specific moral responsibility by appealing to historical fatalism and a myth of neutral civilizational competition.

Theory of Post-Western Rationality

The systematic elaboration of post-Western rationality as a framework for understanding cognitive diversity. The Theory of Post-Western Rationality argues that the dominance of Western rationality is a historical accident, not a logical necessity—a product of colonialism, not cognitive superiority. It traces the development of alternative rationalities in different cultures, shows how they work on their own terms, and argues for their legitimacy. It doesn't claim that all rationalities are equally good for all purposes; it claims that they are different tools for different tasks, and that we need all of them. The Theory of Post-Western Rationality is the foundation of cognitive decolonization, of the recognition that reason has many homes.

Example: "He'd assumed that Western science was simply the best way to know things. The Theory of Post-Western Rationality showed him otherwise: Indigenous knowledge systems, Eastern philosophies, African epistemologies—all were rationalities, all were valid, all had things to teach. He stopped treating other ways of knowing as inferior and started learning from them."
