I'm not really interested in discussing it anymore though. It's not an interesting topic to me.

Christendom is a mix of Germanic, Graeco-Roman, and Judeo-Christian traditions, yes.

Western Civilization, as I define it, is European Christendom.

What will be then?

The political compass does not work because it has Hitler be a centrist, and it makes people who aren’t in favor of mass immigration and libertarianism become leftists. It also doesn’t distinguish WHY you’d support authoritarianism not does it tell you what measures you’d take. It’s a dumb test...
