They Gave Us Modernism:
A Response to Megha Liliwhite's
"What we Owe the West"
by The Fascifist
On June 5, 2023, Megha Liliwhite published an article titled "
What We Owe to the West". Usually I feel no need to respond to classical liberals when they attempt to repackage their worldview as antithetical to progressive liberalism and try to pass off the root cause of Modernity as some kind of spiritually kindred relative of the various traditional schools of thought. This time, however, I felt the need to write a response article.
It is not necessary for you to read her original article if you have not yet done so as the second portion of my response directly quotes almost every passage in her original article and responds to each passage one at a time.
