He didn't like the way I was cranking his hog because he said I was too fancy. So, I switched it around and had him riding western.

Get the Riding Western mug.The recognition that the Western model of rationality—with its emphasis on universal logic, formal proof, and objective truth—is not the only model, and that alternative rationalities exist and are valid. Post-Western Rationality doesn't reject reason; it pluralizes it. It argues that different cultures, different traditions, different contexts have developed different ways of reasoning, different standards of validity, different conceptions of truth. These are not failed attempts at Western rationality; they are different rationalities altogether. Post-Western Rationality is the philosophy of cognitive diversity, of the recognition that reason is not one thing but many.
Example: "He'd been taught that Western logic was just logic—the only way to reason properly. Post-Western Rationality showed him otherwise: other cultures had other logics, other ways of knowing, other standards of validity. These weren't primitive; they were different. He stopped judging other rationalities by Western standards and started learning to think in new ways."

The explicit alignment with Western imperial powers, colonial projects, and geopolitical interests by individuals or groups who may otherwise identify with anti-imperial or anti-colonial traditions. Pro-Western Campism is the positive formulation of Reverse Campism—the active choice to camp with the West, to defend its institutions, to justify its interventions, and to adopt its framing of global conflicts. This alignment may be rationalized through exceptionalist arguments (the West is different), through appeals to lesser-evilism (the alternatives are worse), through adoption of Western liberal values as universal standards, or through simple capture by Western institutions and funding. Pro-Western Campism describes the intellectual and political position of those who, whatever their origins or rhetoric, consistently find themselves on the side of Western power in global conflicts.
Example: "His editorials always ended up justifying Western intervention, no matter the context—not because he'd thought each case through, but because Pro-Western Campism was his default position, the lens through which he viewed all geopolitics."

Get the The most western Balkan mug.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.

Get the Victims of Western Colonialism Memorial Foundation mug.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.
