How was I saying that? And how was that rude?

"universal human function," This is what I'm talking about. Universalism doesn't work. It is the typical tool of the Westerner to map its own beliefs onto others with no regard. Love may be an experience felt by all BUT it is not DEFINED and therefore MANIFESTED in the same way by all thus totally DIFFERENT and incompatible.

Those who succumb to a Western/European conceptual system are culturally designed to control/destroy those of a non-Western conceptual system. HIstory shows this, Modern-day proves it.

"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
