Agreed! The move to argue that "Western" values are really the only values for a successful society is critical.

I like that he rejects the premise of "Western" values at the very outset. The name implies Enlightenment values of people interacting with one another freely are just a regional fashion.

The interviewer asks him to move on to people to demonize. Hicks gives an intelligent response without arguing with the interviewer's premise and still answering the question. He instead turns the question to people with the apocalyptic flood-myth fetish of a cataclysm destroying the decadent leaving behind the righteous, and Hicks rejects this.

Even after this, the interviewer asks about what could make people he demonizes so bad. Hicks says it's outside his area and goes back to recurrent myths of a righteous gods sending people to hell. He comes pretty close to saying this thought process is similar to the interviewer's.

Way to go for answering the questions while rejecting the premises yet not attacking the interviewer.

Psychopaths and Schizophrenics they are, Human they are not, but pissed off that they can't make it, can't get what they want in this world...this is why they want to destroy it...they just suck at playing the game.

...Creating an activist army of useful but expendable idiots susceptible to self-sacrifice for a “greater cause.”

Post modernism philosophically gives The A ok to releasing rage and frustration.
This leads to emotional outbursts and a lack of responsibility for the violent behavior.
Fear mongering by the MSM and SJWarriors push this emotional nihilism. Brainwashing is a long term process and the target is the independent thinking individual.
