Are the United States and Europe the same civilization, as Marco Rubio says?

The frank acknowledgment that the US will “always be the child of Europe” contrasts with the typical protectionist vision that “Yanqui imperialism” has earned.

And the opposition is interesting because it allows us to construct two types of roles around which to articulate the relationship between the US and Europe: now from the perspective of America as the breadth of our line, now under the prism of European paternalism.

Unfortunately, it is precisely this second class of relationship that has prevailed since the post-war period.

“American symbol”, near the auspices of OTAN and the mana of Mr. Marshallahormó European mentality, he sentimentally educated his satellites in accordance with his cultural referents and colonized through its film and music industries as wide as its imagination.

The inversion of natural filiation, the results of which led to our understanding of the American epigon of Europe, was created precisely on the basis of the operation contained in Rubio’s affirmation: “We are a single civilization, the Western one.” An interesting confusion that unreflectively assimilates Europe and the European “lifestyle”.

Y anyway globalization behind the patron Big Mac approved our habits As long as this difference materializes, only Rubio’s affirmation can be supported in purity, based on the assumption of an artificial misunderstanding of the “West”, understood today as the decomposition of European identity in the cultural uniformity instilled by the EEUU.

As seeds are sown in the Old World that were exported to the New (legal domestication of power, Christian faith, or scientific advances), they are destructible.The American way of life“is very far from the ways of civilization characterized by the primacy of the spiritual dimension.

Europe’s crisis is an identity crisis: the spiritual region is used to seeing itself as a “theatrical recreation of the Roman Empire” Peter Sloterdijk– he also sets out to find a new guide for a time in which, after the undermining of European empires, he cannot dismantle the paper of the first-born metropolis.

European decadence had the tone of European vitalism. Abbreviate those policies that truly remind us of our forgotten heritage. Rediscovering the fearlessness of the pioneer, courage or patriotic fervor in the American boy, but preserving our uniqueness of Catholic civilization inspired by the Latin genius and the ideal of horsemanship.

Let us not feel total self-loathing about our history, let us not abandon the fall of “Westernization” for which the vile Third World philia craves. but yes In the entity with EEUU, Europe boasts the original prelacion.

It is often said that Europe will only be able to adapt to the current downturn if it equips itself with autonomous “hard power”. But it will be of no use unless we are emancipated even from our mild power, This is the spiritual disease that is Americanism and it dies in the genesis of our submission.
