The truth remains the truth, whomever speaks it. Europeans are indeed responsible for the building of western civilization. The British Navy was the single greatest force in the world that did most of the shaping. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking pride in the accomplishments of your ancestors who’s success was mostly a result of their attempt to live by Christian principles. Remember, we are all sinners.
What you’re doing is falling for Richard Spencer-style propaganda.
Spencer is wrong in his assertion that western society is built on scientific and industrial advances. And I’m not referring to his moral position. He’s wrong on intellectual grounds.
My argument here is very strong, and probably involves a level of analysis you haven’t considered.
