is the west polluting other civilizations?

The new post-WWII ideals of western civilization, in both Europe and America, enshrine within and encourage throughout the rest of the world:

• racial, cultural and religious diversity;
• immigration rights;
• democratic government;
• welfare rights;
• freedom of speech;
• extended human rights; and
• globalization.

These ideals were designed to promote cohesion and world peace, but they are effectively creating a crisis both within and without.

Far from promoting democratic ideals, for instance, globalization of western values is antagonizing other cultures and providing fertile ground in which dictators and fanatics can flourish.

All that is good about western civilization is vastly outweighed by all that is really bad about it.

Pornography, violence, drugs, alcohol, religious hypocrisy, gross obesity and rampant commercializion and greed are seen by other nations as particularly polluting, and these elements are not exactly embraced by most westerners, either.

Within, there is a backlash against the breakdown of a civilization that developed in Europe as an ethnically cohesive population with strong Christian roots; and without, there is a backlash against what other cultures see as widespread pollution by the West of values that are anathema to theirs.

Both within and without there are also environmental concerns that the rampantly greedy, globalizing western nations are destroying the planet.

The post-WWII western civilization adopted racial, cultural and religious diversity as its mantra, but no civilization can survive with a population bitterly divided by racial, cultural and religious divisions, especially one that allows its immigrants to denigrate and eschew all that the host nation holds dear.

The backlash from within emanates from terrified ethnic Europeans being forced to assume inferiority rather than equality with the non-European immigrants that are colonizing their countries rather than integrating with them.

Also, the backlash from within is targeted at the new multi-cultural ideals which they believe are polluting their own culture as much as they are other cultures.

Modern western civilization is not just polluting other civilizations but it is also polluting itself.
