Something that has come up frequently. I don't care about it but I'm afraid it might trap other people. It seems westerners are ok if you are an obedient person, following the instructions. The moment you transgress from their preconceived ideas, they gang up on you. screw you.

Like if you are western rationalist, it is all ok because hey we allegedly invented rationalism. But if you are a non-western rationalist, we will drag you to Hague for crimes against humanity. Right!

It's absolutely a western phenomenon. No one on the east side of globe is talking about such stuff. It's a tacit doctrine.

Maybe I'm confused about what you mean by rationalist. India for example has many reason oriented individuals who are getting fucked over for speaking out against the Hinduvata govt. They even have a "new atheist" movement of sorts

No I don't mean new atheism. I'm a full-on atheist but this is not what I mean. Rationality in three words: Revisable, historical and empirically constrained.

By revisable I mean conceptual revisablity i.e. the modification of past judgements.
