Coffee Conversations: the West's Disqualification from Hegemony

The power and the dominance of Europe was always going to end because of their own inability to get along with each other. Their own tendency to compete and to be rivals of one another, and to hate each other, and to be at each other's throats, as they have been throughout all the history. The the the the colonial empires of Britain, France, Portugal, whatever, the Dutch, those would have been dismantled sooner if America hadn't been involved in World War One and World War Two. But either way, they can't maintain it because they're continuously at each other's throats. Europe.

Europe. Europeans are continuously at each other's throats. And so after World War two, they were all weakened to the point they couldn't maintain their empires, and that's the reason why all of these countries got their so called independence, and colonialism became neo colonialism, because they couldn't maintain the direct control. And America took over all of these empires. Took all took over all of these colonies, all these colonial empires.

America took that over. And one of the means by which they did it was the United Nations. By declaring the United Nations to be an anti colonialist and a decolonizing force in the world Yeah. Because we wanna liberate all of you people from them, so that you'll be ours now. But, yeah, western domination has always been an anomaly in history, and now it's reverting back to what it was.

They're going to be at each other's throats, and America is now not preventing that. They prevented it after World War two for their own reasons because because they believed that the only other rival to their ability to take over all of these colonial empires was the Soviet Union, and the ideology of communism. That's why they wanted to that's why the whole thing was this, the communist threat. The communist threat, the threat was to American domination, and the threat was that these countries would become sovereign. They recast national sovereignty of these countries and independence of these countries as being satellites of the Soviet Union.

In other words, in their mind, and and I don't I don't necessarily say that they didn't believe all of that, because this is the way they think. I mean, you see it now, even like like when we talk about if we if we expel The US from the UN, then who's going to be the next global hegemon? Right. That's the way they think. Yeah.

As if it's not possible. That that you can actually work together. Yeah. The countries can just exist in harmony Yeah. And mutual benefit and so on.

And they think that if America goes down, then now China is gonna act exactly like America, or Russia will act exactly like America, or whoever else will act. No. No. No. No.

One ever acted like you. Your values are not universal. Your characteristics are not universal characteristics. Yeah. Importantly, the longest empire in history was ours.

Yeah. And we didn't act like you. No. So we know perfectly well that it doesn't have to be like that. Yeah.

We know perfectly well that a so called empire that that being that having so you can say hegemonic influence or global influence or what have you, being a global superpower doesn't automatically mean being a global bully. Doesn't have to automatically mean that. It's really a matter of spin and interpretation on your part. Because what you are doing and what you're advocating is explicitly domination. Explicitly, the domination and the control over other people's countries.

But you but the way that you interpret that, the way you spin that, the way you portray that is to make sure that they won't fall under tyranny. So we have to tyrannize you to make sure that you won't be tyrannized. Right. When Islam spread into other lands, we didn't take other people's stuff, we let you keep your stuff and it just all it did was expand our market and the trade. So so it benefited you because now you can trade with people you couldn't trade with before.

It opened up trade routes for your country. We didn't take your things. If you want to talk about like a tax, say that was imposed upon the the non Muslims in those countries, the Jizya, well you don't pay zakat, you don't pay zakat, you don't participate in the military. So you don't you think you're not supposed to contribute at all to the society? That it's unfair that you have to pay that?

Well, because you don't pay anything else, when the Muslims are paying all the time. We pay the Zakah, we pay Salakah, we participate in military campaigns and so forth. This is just you also making contribution that's special to you as a non muslim. The point is that that we didn't come in and force anything on you, even if we had to fight. Yeah.

Even if we had to fight, we didn't force our belief on you. You still had the choice, you could still stay a non Muslim, even if even if we fought and you lost, because you always lost. You could still stay a non Muslim, but we would expect you to contribute in some way financially to the society, because the whole thing was run by Beit Al Mal, was funded by Beit Al Mal, into which Muslims were endlessly contributing. Yeah. So at least you could pay a little bit, but you can still be a Christian, you can still be a Jew, you can still be a whatever.

It wasn't the rape and pillage that you people did. We were happy. Okay, even if you're not even if you're not Muslim, we were happy to trade with you. We're happy to have access through good relations with you, to have access to your spices, your crops, your what have you that we didn't have, you know. And that's how civilized people behave.

So we know we know perfectly well that it is possible for there to be a global superpower that doesn't act like you people, because the longest lasting one that ever existed on earth was us, and we didn't act like that. So I don't have any problem whatsoever if they get rid of the veto power completely, because yes, the security council in and of itself is a relic of colonization, that that it it it represents the old belief that should be old and obsolete, but is not, that since most of the people in the world are not white, are not western, we therefore don't trust that they will know how to make proper decisions. Yeah. In our interest. That means proper decision, in our interest.

Yeah. So we have to have a body, a board, you know, who can who can overrule them, because they don't really, you know, protect them from themselves. Because they might make decisions that we don't like, which will force us to go to war with them. And that's not in their best interest. So we have the security council of all white people, of all western people, except for China.

But China was only there because no one ever thought China was going to be anything. They thought China is never going to be anything. So yeah, if you got rid of the veto power, that's fine. Getting rid of the veto power, it does not solve the problem and it doesn't get rid of the necessity of invoking article six against America. Because what are we gonna do about all those crimes?

Yeah. The woke country is still there. Yeah. You know. And and what are we going to do about all those crimes?

Yeah. The veto, getting rid of the veto for America is not the solution, that's not justice for the for the eight decades of violations that you've committed, and are committing right now. There has to be justice, you have to be held to account. Getting rid of the veto is not going to solve that problem. You should disband the security council altogether, you know, and that's a thing that could potentially happen at some point.

But again, that still doesn't negate the necessity of activating and implementing Article six of the UN Charter. If you don't if you don't implement article six against The United States, then the then the whole UN Charter is a joke. Because you you have you have allowed a country for eight decades to get away with murder. Yeah. Again and again and again.

It's it's a death spiral, I think. I I I mean first of all the the The US offering suggesting to African countries to have seat on the security council, basically as observers where they wouldn't have any right, they wouldn't have any beats or power. We'll we'll put you in a high chair at the big boy table. Yeah. You can be in a high chair in a baby seat.

That's that's basically, it's an insult. Yeah. Obviously, it's an insult. Yeah. But this is this this goes back to the fact that America, really they're over, really they're done, because they're so convinced of their own power, and they're they're so convinced by their own myths and their own legend that they created about themselves, that they also think that everyone else is convinced of it.

Even as fewer people are convinced of it as than than there has ever been. What that means is that in their diplomatic and political relationships with other countries around the world, they no longer feel the need to offer anything concrete to anyone. They actually think that all they have to do is cast their glance towards any so called third world developing country and they'll just be honored. Lap it up. Yeah.

Because they think all the countries in the global south are star struck thirty years ago. Uh-huh. Okay. I understand. Maybe.

Yeah. Do run everything, but you don't run everything anymore at all. And and you're not even willing to do the work to run anything anymore. That's what I mean. Like when they come to Southeast Asia, all they offer is rules based order.

Right. They don't offer anything actual, anything substantive at all. Nothing substantial. They don't offer trade deals, they don't offer even military equipment. Right.

They don't offer technology sharing, they don't offer anything. They just they just they literally only offer Here's the thing, you can do what we say. You're welcome. You you'll be part of our team. Right.

It's really like the logic of those big corporations who say Yeah. Instead of giving you a raise, we're going to change your title from worker to partner. You're a partner in the company. We're all a big family. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

It's it's it's completely empty of any meaning, of anything of any substance. It's completely empty of any substance. That's what they do when they come to Southeast Asia, that's what they do when they go to Africa. Like they they they make promises and they and they they they write IOUs in the air and nothing ever comes through. Meanwhile, China and Russia and the and The Gulf are coming through.

They're coming through with real things, with concrete material assistance. And America really doesn't think that they have to do that anymore. So they think, they they still they're still stuck in this old way of thinking, that they think that it's incredibly generous of us to offer Africa two seats on the security council without any veto power, without any real power at all. You know? I'm so grateful.

They'll be so happy. Yeah. Just to be on the table with us. Yeah. It's like it's like it's like the equivalent of, okay, I hate to use this example, but it reminds me of something like this.

The analogy would be something like this. If you were if you're an activist who was trying to stop the execution of Khalifa Marcellus Williams, and you contacted a celebrity, a human rights activist type celebrity, and you send them a message asking them to post something, to say something, to use their platform to try to stop the execution of this innocent man, And of course, you don't post anything, you don't say anything, you don't use your platform, but you heart the comment. And you think you've done enough. This is this is, you know, Africa and the whole global South saying, it's ridiculous that there's no country, that there's no African country which makes up about a third of the entire United Nations. Yeah.

And not to mention That there's no country in Africa that makes up about a third of the United Nations and they don't have a seat on the security council. You're you're that's what you're sending to the celebrity and the celebrity hearts your comment. By saying, okay, you can be on the security council as long as you stay completely silent and never say anything and don't have any power and accept that and just stay in the baby chair, the baby chair. And they think that that will work because they're still, this is why I said diluted, You're still back in the days when you had power. But you but back in the days when you had power, you had people who knew what to do to to give you that power.

It wasn't just I can just show my this big American flag on my chest and everybody make Yeah, like posture and so you have Yeah. You had some really tough leaders. You did things that you had to do. Yeah. You made the deals that you had to make.

You know? Yeah. And now and now you don't think you have to do anything at all. Yeah. You just think just being American is enough.

Yeah. And it is so not. But also part of it is that you can't do those things anymore. The things that you that you that you need to be able to do in order to back up all of the your ego. You don't even have the ability to do it anymore.

And now all of the ones who used to give you that power, they're going home with someone else after the dance. Because they know like I've talked about so many times, the future is in the global South. And anyone who cares about their money, are the people who control politics in The United States are all people who care about their money. So they have made they've had to make a decision, they've had to make a choice. Either I can care about my money or I can care about America.

But what do you think they're going to choose? They've chosen their money. Yeah. And increasingly, it it it started back in the day with Al Jazeera, with them trying to ban Al Jazeera, and then they banned RT, and now they're banning African stream, you know. And then of course, obviously, there was the whole thing during COVID of controlling what you can and cannot say.

Right. Yeah. And then if there's anything that is outside of the official American government narrative, it's disinformation Right. And propaganda and probably Russian. It's probably coming from the Kremlin, it's coming from the devil.

So we have to we have to protect everyone from from the freedom of information. Right. Protect them from that. Yeah. So this is this is just another another sign of how America sees their own people, same way that the West has seen the the countries that they colonize.

It's the same. We can't trust you to make decisions. Yeah. At the end of the day, we have to decide. You can't be trusted with freedom, you can't be trusted to make decisions, and of course we know very well that you can't be trusted to make decisions because we've worked very hard to make sure that you're dumb as a bag of hammers.

So we already know that you can't really make proper decisions, because we've ensured that you're stupid, that you have no critical thinking skills, no discernment whatsoever. But so, like, why are you why are you, this this freedom loving country, banning all of these alternative news platforms? Why? It's so funny. Okay.

Okay. You can say it's Russian, you can say African stream Yeah. Is Russian. Okay. Noted.

Yeah. I'll remember that whenever I watch it. Exactly. Why don't you ban BBC for being British media? British British state government controlled media.

Okay. Noted. I mean this is what I've said, the only reason that they came up with these types of rules, or the only reason that they articulate these rules, is so that they can apply them to other people. Okay, I'm sorry, it's over now. Just like just like just like we were talking about with Patrice Lumumba.

You murdered him, dissolved him in acid, and then when Congo accuses you of that, then you demand know, evidentiary standards and due process and all of now now now this matters to you. Meanwhile, you can commit extra judicial killings and assassinations and executions left, right and center. But but when it comes to being called out on it, now we care very much about due process. Right. You only you only invoke these rules for other people only ever.

It's it's like literally a case of I'm strangling you, actively strangling you right now, and you say stop strangling me, and I say it's your word against mine. It's it's it's absolute contempt for the truth. They have absolute contempt for the truth. They have contempt for all of the so called values and principles and laws and rules that they invoke. They have contempt for them, absolute contempt for them.

It's it's all for for the purposes of gaslighting. Really, it's all for the purposes of gaslighting. Like really, it's like subhanallah, you can't have know it's an old topic, but you cannot have a normal interaction with these people at all. They are so alienated from reality and from the truth, they are so alienated from it, they they are absolute strangers between them and the truth, they're absolute strangers, they're completely unacquainted with anyone who's serious about anything, you know. They can't have a normal conversation, they can't have a normal dispute, Mhmm.

You know? Yeah. They can't they can't It's the dishonesty is is endless. It's just an avalanche of dishonesty. Every time.

So you just have to not bother with it. You have to not bother with it. That's the only way that you have to discipline these people. By excluding them from all conversations. Yeah.

You have to exclude them from conversation. It's just like, mean, maybe maybe you can't maybe you guys can't understand it in this context, because you would like to go to clubs and what not. Right? Like, you know, at the at the exclusive clubs, there's a dress code, there's the what they call the velvet rope, you know, that you have to get beyond the velvet rope. Okay.

Well, to have actual serious adult mature intelligent intellectual conversation, you have to qualify to get past that velvet rope. Yeah. And just like at a club, you come up and you just sort of present yourself to the bouncer, to the doorman, and they say if they have a certain dress code and you show up in flip flops and you know, and your underwear on the outside of your pants. Okay, no, you don't get to come in. Because this is how you come across actually.

This intellectually, this is the equivalent of how you come across. Someone who's wearing their underwear on outside of their clothes, you know. Yeah. I get to have my opinion. Yeah.

Yeah. No. Okay. You can. But not not not inside, Not indoors.

You have to go out into the wilderness somewhere. Yeah. Wear underwear is worn outside. It's unacceptable. Yeah.

Yeah. It's not normal. Yeah. Go go go to what do you call? Skid Row.

Go to Skid Row where everybody's crackheads, where everybody's on drugs, where everybody's, you know, out of their minds crazy. Uh-huh. Where where you're normal, but you're abnormal among intelligent human beings who want to have serious conversations, you you don't fit at all. And no one needs to slow down the class for you. No one needs to bring the conversation down to your level, and and let you derail any conversation with your disingenuous, dishonest talking points that you don't even yourself understand.

You just learned how to repeat them. Yeah. You know, no one no one needs to do that. There's nothing that you can say that isn't, what do you call it? Or or derivative.

Yeah. You know, there's nothing that you say that you thought of. There's not a single word that you are saying that came, that originated in your mind. Yeah. Was put in your mind.

Yeah. And you just mechanically repeat. And yeah, and you mechanically repeat and expect to be respected. Yeah. You expect to be respected.

As if you said something that was a thought. Yeah. What you said isn't a thought at all. Yeah. And why not exclude them, Yani?

Because you you want to like like I said, you banned African stream, you banned RT, you know, you banned Al Jazeera, you banned all of these others. Okay, you are imposing upon your own population the exclusion of other views. So how can you and I have a conversation? Yeah. When when I already know that your all of your sources of information are American propaganda.

So how can I have a conversation with you? So I will make the decision to exclude you from from our conversation. Yeah. Because already I know you don't have all the books necessary for this class. Yeah.

You didn't even you didn't even get the books necessary for this class. You're you're we have a, you know, like a what do they call it? Like on the syllabus Yeah. When you take a class, it tells you the texts that are required, the textbooks that are required for this And instead of getting any of those, you brought you brought a comic book. Uh-huh.

And you think that you're gonna participate in the class discussion. No. I'm sorry. Yeah. You're not qualified.
