We should stop calling it “the west” then.
It’s always been a ridiculous name for a group that includes Australia, Europe, and USA.
We should think of a new name…
Japan and South Korea aren’t in Asia? I’d certainly count them as “western”, especially Japan. if I’m feeling especially generous I might provisionally include Brazil too.
I wouldn’t. You’re mistaking countries under the thumb of the West as being the West
WWII and Korea are how those countries came about their position today. I don’t think they’re entirely against their position but they don’t have a seat at the table like the others do
Japan’s the third largest economy in the world and they aligned themselves with the West in the Meiji restoration. they sought imperial conquest of their neighbors in the 1900s. what more do you want for them to be the West
They have has as much of a seat as warrants their size and economic power, perhaps even more because of their location as a buffer against China. Most EU countries have pull only because they are part of the EU. Compare Spain and Japan on the world stage, for example.

Do you think Russia, China and Saudi Arabia aren’t doing the same thing to places?
they are imperialist too, but not nearly to the same degree
“the country currently invading another country to claim their land, people and resources is far less imperialist than the ones that don’t”
Wild take komrad.
sorry they absolutely are.
Just less successful
The Last States of Democracy
Kingdom of the billionaires.
I guess “NATO and friends” might be a bit shortsighted?
NATO and Friends sounds like some Paw Patrol type cartoon.
The free world maybe?
How do you explain this to the slaves in USA?
Just kick out the “freest” country
we know tbh
There’s also Canada, NZ, South America, a lot of Africa and Asia
No country in South America, Africa or Asia is part of “the west”.
I admit I forgot Canada and New Zealand, as is tradition.
The point was to stop using the term the west, because there’s a lot more
