John begins by quoting the great leaders of the Age of Enlightenment, conveniently forgetting to mention that this period of history, which had such a significant impact on all of human civilisation, was began by the white western civilisation he despises.
His premise is, that everything bad that ever happened to the world is all the fault of Europeans. Which is a racist premise in itself. He equates racism with colonialism, by that of course he means white racism and white colonialism, as the root of all evil.
Of course, never mentioning non white racism and non white colonialism is a pre requisite for espousing this type of self flagellating "logic."
His only example of clearly cruel and utterly contemptible white colonialism was King Leopold of Belgium's disgusting cruelties in the Congo. This he equates with all European colonialism. Gee, that's funny. Using the same logic and applying it to black people is what black activists call "racial profiling", which is sin when applied to blacks, but not apparently to whites.
John presents the usual Quixotic claim "we can save all the problems of the world" if only the "rich" (meaning of course "whites") would stop spending money on armaments. This neglects to point out that western democracies never go to war with each other. And as long as totalitarians keep trying for world or regional domination, the democracies are forced to spend money to defend themselves. The democracies dropped that ball before WW2 and we nearly lost the war.
Lastly comes the spurious claim that the Scandinavian countries are leading the way in reforming white western civilisation. Let's look at Sweden. It went socialist, realised it made a mistake, and went capitalist. It abolished all censorship was so shocked by the results that it reinstated it. Last, it embraced multiculturalism to such a degree that Sweden will be the first European country to have a Muslim majority population and join the bloody caliphate.
Some triumph.
