You may have grown up in your cosy little western democracy but I suggest you go live in some other countries to get a different perspective on how good we have it here and stamp that naivety out of your head.
You're basically saying that because we don't understand the Chinese/Russian way of life, we can't effectively comment on it. What to us seems like human injustice is in reality unicorn, rainbows and kisses in a wonderful utopia to the people that actually live there.  I didn't think anyone could be that naive. |
let's just homogenise the planet then and deny any kind of difference.
as i already said you can call me naive, but i can call you arrogant.
of course i'm speaking from a western point of view. I don't claim to be able to understand something that i'm not. You're undermining the entirety of human history, and the concept of progress/evolution if you're denying to allow anything bad to exist...
am i more naive for claiming that it's not our place to 'fix' things that are going badly from our perspective, or are you more naive for assuming that we CAN solve the problems of another state/nation?? 
again: government doesn't happen overnight: like everything physical, states are in flux, they're not solid, and they're not simple. It is arrogance alone which leads people to believe they can cast judgement on such a broad and complex system which has been evolving for centuries, or longer.
yet, just because we have the internet and the UN charter we all suddenly feel it's our right to preach about our ways of life, because, since we believe in 'freedom' we are the most highly evolved system... LOL.
edit: and of course i believe in a basic level of human rights, and i believe in the individual, but i am not arrogant enough to believe that every person in the world should believe in the same things i do, and i don't plan to force my extremely biased views on the international system. i KNOW who i am, and where i am.
