    Also. Venezuela is in the west, so venezuelan media is also “western media” And if you think that there is no genocide happening in China, then you are no better and far right extremist who think that the Holocaust was a hoax.
    Also, don’t just believe something because “it makes sense” for you.

      Not really, though, the West does not refer to the actual west in the cardinal sense, but rather to the countries that created what we consider as western thought or western philosophy, that’s a reason why the French Guiana, Canada and the US belong to the West but not Latin America. Honestly is a shitty term because it’s super abstract and with lots of interpretations but IMHO this is the more accepted.

        This is the west. There is another map which shows how all the most violent and militarized borders are along these lines. Eastern Europe (war in Ukraine), inter-Korean border, Mediterranean (grave for countless migrants), Mexico-US border (drug wars and migration crisis).
