The Eastern civilization (China, Japan, Korea) and the Western Civilization (Europe and countries its people occupied) have been considered advanced and its cultures considered as rich.

Now, the Western civilization is being slowly altered by waves and waves of immigration from the Middle East with different cultures and values. While the Eastern civilization's citizens, ethnicity, and culture are and will probably remain 90%+ homogeneous.

Do you think in the future, the Eastern civilization will be more powerful than the West?

I mean, I don't see Japan ever having millions of Muslims flooding in bringing in different cultures into the Japanese cities and society.

I think when "powerful" and "superior" is used to describe culture, civilization, race or ethnicity, people tend to take it personally and discussion as such cannot stay civilized, honest or even open.

To me, Native American culture, in contrast, pursues nonhuman values such as nature, tradition, ritual, environmentalism, and ethnicity. That is a good culture and civilization.

No, I don't think eastern civilization will be more powerful in the future because it is a different culture or civilization. Comparing east to the west is like comparing apples to oranges.

I know right? Before the evil racist homophobic white racist Republicans founded this country by slaughtering Native peoples, all of the Indian tribes were living together in peace and harmony.


Remember those big cities with all the technological advancements? The different tribes living together over meals with hearth and kin?


The Crow and Ute developed a complex communication between themselves. The Lakota and the Omaha were like twinsies and stuff.

No...but their low fertility rate might do them in in the long run.

Just import some other East Asians with similar cultures and values.

Key word: slowly. By the time they have sufficient numbers to hold any semblance of political power, the pull of cosmopolitanism/hedonism will have eroded most of the medieval religious baggage.

Perhaps at some point, owing to sheer numbers.

No; I wouldn't say either one is more powerful; each has a unique set of problems. East Asia is seeing a severe population decline that will probably continue well into the 22nd Century, perhaps beyond.

I think something will happen that will cause the West to rise out of its slumber and "shake off" this Islamist disease, but I don't think it's at its height--that was probably 200 years ago, at least.

I belief the leftist are destroying the West. Then either East Asia will become dominate and take over the West or the leftist will infiltrate the East and multiculturalize, 'diversify' and destroy the East. Eventually the whole world will turn into a corrupt Brazil with two classes.
