Western society and the values embodied in it, no matter how controversial today, are an emanation of centuries of development of the European peoples. In the cultural and economic Western civilization, in its role as the metropole, was the “locomotive” that pulled the less developed countries of the world, like the conquest of the New World centuries ago. We are witnessing the same today in the neocolonial era in which transnational corporations seize sovereignty and enslave economically weaker countries in Africa and Latin America.
Let’s say that there is a compromise between corporations and local residents, a “Washington” version of it. The process of emancipation of Western society, its consolidation and drive for cultural expansion, are combined with genuine messianism and paternalism imposed on “barbarian” peoples. The great geographical discoveries, the conquest of vast lands, resources, markets, cultural and religious interference in the lives of indigenous people in the newly discovered territories – made the conquerors intoxicated, causing them to believe that their god and culture are universal. Colonialism and imperialism, an initiative launched through the great geographical discoveries, ended at least officially due to World War II, and led to the subsequent process of decolonization of former colonies. Countries appeared on the map, nations gained independence, but then hte trade and economic expansion of the United States began, acting as a global hegemon and troubadour of the western socio-economic, commercial and political system.

Pseudo-intellectual gobbledygook.
I disagree with this article. The whole point of PC indoctrination and mindset is to convince Westerners to accept the unacceptable. That is, the subordination of their civilization to Third World and Muslim masters. While there is some resistance, is seems to be (so far) remarkably light. If anything, conservative forces continue to be vilified and marginalized. And, yes, we even see that with the Trump administration.

I need an aspirin. In the days of using writing instruments, that would have been written in three colors.
Does anyone really believe that the Congo is better for having expelled the Belgians? Or that Zimbabwe has advanced now that those dirty white farmers are gone? In fact, name one former colony (the United States excepted) that is better off now that it has declared its "independence."
Now name one that has thrived without trading with the very "imperialists" it threw out.

A thesaurus word dump?
The guy misspelled “the,” yet seems to get his other words typed correctly.

It reminds how sometimes I'd get a professor who just loved to hear themselves talk and would intentionally use wording that over-complicates a position in order to make themselves appear more "scholarly" while bringing in confusion to their own argument.
If you want to support your claim you make it simple and direct and you do not hide it behind a bunch of psychobabble.
