why I love the West

it's because I couldn't exist in any other society. There is no way someone with my views, ideas and interests could develop outside of the western civilisation.

So, on one hand, I dispise a large segment of the west for being mindless, shallow, consumerist cunts (among other things), but at the same time I love it because it made me who I am and I depend on it. The few things that I like are products of the west, and all of the people I like are westerners at least by heart, if not geographical position.

It took me a long time to figure out why I would be willing to defend something that I, in general, don't really like, but this is why.

You are a product of the society you live in. If Western so-called civilisation didn't exist, you would be a product of some other society. Therefore, your point makes no sense.

The rampant individualism of Western culture (note the endless use of "I" in your post) along with the idea of dominance/subordination and totalitarianism is what is behind much of the malaise and destructiveness in world.

The idea that you have to "defend" (a euphemism for attack) against something that isn't "you" (what you call Western civilisation) is the basic idea behind fascism, which has and is showing itself to be an imminent part of Western "civilisation."
