    When will Eastern Europeans learn that the only definitional Westerners are Anglos and everyone else, even the French and the Dutch, can have their Westerner status revoked at the Anglos’ digression? There’s a reason why Anglos were able to call Germans marauding Asiatic Huns during WWI. That’s because Anglos are definitionally white while Germans are not. In many ways, how Western you are is just a measure of your proximity to Anglo culture and Anglo society. The French are more Western than the Polish because French culture is closer to Anglo culture than Polish culture, mostly by virtue of geographic location. Westernization and Anglicization are largely the same thing. The only difference between 19th century Anglicization and 21st century Anglicization is 21st century Anglicization means being Anglicized to the Anglo subculture that’s based in the US. But the UK, the US, Australia, and so on are all Anglo societies in the end with far more in common with each other than with other European societies, so they are also definitionally Western as well no matter how much continental fascists seethe about the nonwhite immigrant population. In fact, that’s the driving force of their fascist cope. A French fascist would never live in a definitionally Western society because they are stuck in France while the US will always be definitionally Western even with a soon white minority population.
