You are a chauvinist because you are a majoritarian. You should try picking up a book on identity politics someday.

It is chauvinists like you with your notions of cultural relativism who come up with nonsense like "Asian values" to justify and legitimize ugly sections of modern Asian society. It is because of that same cultural relativism which Singaporean professors of International Relations obsess over that I refused to attend local universities for that field of study: it's smoke and mirrors aimed at justifying bullshit and they know it.

Once again, you weep openly and cry about "other possibilities" when you offer none, and are incapable of justifying and/or defending your chauvinism.

If you can't even cogently justify what you argue for and bleat about "getting off my high horse", you shouldn't be arguing in the first place. I'm riding on my goddamn horse because I've earned the γνῶσις to do so. I'm tired of the notion that knowledgeable people must debase themselves before the mob and accept their ignorance and vitriol for being as valid as their own knowledge. This postmodernist bullshit is the cause for the rise in creationism, the organic and anti-GMO food fetish and anti-vaccination. That same postmodernism is making you feel entitled to complain when you have subconsciously realized that you are wrong, and yet persist in convincing yourself that your chauvinism is valid.
