He's very very clearly a right winger, just holds a couple liberal values.

As far as the Western values under attack stuff, it's a thing that could be said at any point in history. We pick and choose which we emphasize and case studies of their "loss" but they've always been a smoke screen, similar to "equality of class" in the Soviet Union. At it's core, its an interesting philosophy that didn't really exist. "Western values" are cute, but they've never been taken that seriously and are tossed aside when inconvenient for powerful people. We love freedom of expression but look at the long history of violence against peacefull protests for example.

They're brought out to show that "we're" better and "more rational" than "them," but they've never actually been applied equally so could have always been considered "under attack."

JP is all more about cancel culture and that it is a shitty phenomenon but I think it's not nearly the "dire attack on ""THE WEST"" as the hyperbolic rhetoric of right-wingers make it seem.

Thanks for the read and the words, Mike.
