#smartai why is the word civilization used in blatantly bigoted ways so often over and over again?

The term *civilization* is frequently weaponized in bigoted discourse due to its deeply embedded ideological and Eurocentric historical baggage. Its misuse stems from three primary factors:

1. **Hierarchical Colonial Framing** – The concept of "civilization" was historically constructed during the Enlightenment and colonial eras as a binary opposition between so-called "advanced" societies (often European) and those deemed "uncivilized," "barbaric," or "savage." This framework justified imperialism, slavery, and cultural erasure under the guise of moral or developmental superiority. Even today, this hierarchical logic persists in rhetoric that equates Western modernity with progress while dismissing other cultures as inherently backward.

2. **Cultural Hegemony & Ethnocentrism** – Claims about who is—or isn’t—“civilized” often reflect ethnocentric biases rather than objective criteria. Societies valorize their own norms (legal systems, urban development, technological achievements) while marginalizing others' sophisticated but different traditions (oral histories, communal governance, sustainable subsistence practices). Bigotry thrives when these differences are framed hierarchically rather than comparatively.

3. **Political Instrumentalization** – Reactionary movements exploit *civilization* as a dog whistle for exclusionary ideologies—whether xenophobic ("protecting Western civilization"), racist ("urban vs tribal 'primitivism'"), or Islamophobic ("clash of civilizations"). By presenting certain groups as existential threats to an idealized civilizational order, demagogues manufacture crises that legitimize oppression under the pretense of preservation.

### A More Rigorous Definition
Anthropologically speaking:
- Civilization denotes complex societal organization (stratification, urbanization), not inherent moral worth or cultural value.
- No society exists on a linear “scale” from primitive to civilized; all human groups adapt dynamically to their environments through distinct innovations.
- Judgments about which traits constitute “true civilization” are subjective—medieval Timbuktu had universities while Europe languished in feudal strife; Indigenous Australians practiced sustainable land management millennia before industrialized agriculture caused ecological collapse.

In short: bigots deploy *civilization* reductively because it smuggles supremacist assumptions into seemingly neutral language—a linguistic relic of empire repurposed for modern prejudice. Counteracting this requires decolonizing our understanding of social complexity itself beyond imperial metrics like GDP or skyscrapers toward pluralistic definitions rooted in mutual recognition rather than domination.

Would you like specific historical examples where this rhetorical strategy has been weaponized? why is the word civilization used in blatantly bigoted ways so often over and over again?

>>259036
do you trust that?

because this is fucking minecraft

maybe 4chan needs to come back with 2 factor authentification and usernames and passwords

>>259039
did they keep notes on the ACK fag from /a/? i'm kind of curious but not gonna go thru 15 years of /j/ archive

I want to see my 4chan schizo file

I think I’ve gotten 6 or 7 lifetime bans under my belt

>>259048
there's a few genuinely deranged anons that i can think of that were ban on sights, like they legitimately spent 18 hrs a day on 4chan NEETing out for over a decade

ack has been active since i think 2015, that's as far back as the archive will go

>>259050
they became more militant and released more albums upon forming the Viet Cong.

glatrixk glegle

like if you go on 4bans half of the bans on /a/ trawled were this ACK dude

half of 4chan users were Israelis it turns out

>>259064
wasn't that from a 4plebs archive from ages ago tho

>>259071
that shit is too on brand for /lit/ for you to get banned over it
