Western politicians have been vociferous in touting the superiority of Western values, and are engaged in ruthless and coercive campaigns to impose these values on the rest of the world. But the Western values that they so strongly advocate now are really not their inheritance from the long and glorious Western Civilization that started in Greece more than 3000 years ago.
The new Western values that had evolved in the last two centuries in the West are not as noble as the Western traditional values that they claim to inherit. In fact, many of these new-fangled values are values that promote antagonism and conflicts, and are responsible for the out-of-control individualism, greed, drug epidemics and rampant inequality in the modern world.
