    This seems to be a re-wording of the ancient cliché “European democracies Vs Asiatic tyrannies”, that may well stretch aaaall the way to Herodotus and Greco-Persian wars.

    Yeah, this person is on that high level of reactionary.

      stretch aaaall the way to Herodotus and Greco-Persian wars.

      It seriously does. Fun fact is that if you ignore this part, which was paid by Athens, the rest of Herodotus work about east is not even bad for his times.
