What cultural norms and events are responsible for the West's utter dominance?

[Sandnigger Mudhut]

This question, although one of the most important in historiography, is often dismissed in contemporary studies because "racism", and its dismissal has lead to obvious consequences. This thread is aiming to be a repository of the metaphysical "objects" that made the West what it is.

Some examples off the top of my head include:
Henry XIII's establishment of the English Church, responsible for the modern bureaucracy of today that enables large societies and corporations with proper individual accountability.

Christian morality implementing a subpersonal ethic to not be pieces of shit towards your common man.

Mass executions of violent criminals during the medieval period, culling the gene pool of insane murderers.

The abolishment of Manorialism, allowing mass populations to relocate to cities, enabling the advancement and development of the Industrial Revolution.

War.
Wherever a European country went the locals let them do whatever they wanted in exchange for weapons and they bombed each other into poverty leaving them stuck doing colonial bitch work.
It's also how the US ended up being dominant. The Euros came to us for weapons and they bombed themselves into poverty twice in a span of 30 years.

Europeans realized that the ability to control trade routes and trade in general was key to creating massive wealth. No other peoples really were able to come to the same conclusion. It's sort of ironic, that the different Muslim domains never started doing this, despite the fact their founder was a merchant and the Quran talks extensively about fair trade. Eastern peoples such as in China and Japan never came to this conclusion because they saw trade as dishonorable, as you are selling other peoples' goods at a higher price without actually creating anything.

So are we going to conveniently forget about the entirety of the Middle Ages and Baghdad's status as the primary gateway between Europe and East Asia throughout the Islamic Golden Age?
I know this supports your central point in that monopolistic control of the Silk Road was probably a huge component to the success of the Abbasid Caliphate. But it's still worth mentioning that there was a ~500 year period where the Islamic World was doing exactly what you suggest they never did.

The Renaissance and the Enlightenment

The Renaissance rebirthed gay homosexualism into the West, the Enlightenment making it mainstream.

In order for this to even get past the plotting stage they needed to adopt the Venice model of central information collection and assessment, perfected in England by the time of John Dee. Never overlook the ability to better guess at what your opponents and especially your allies are going to do next. At around the same time England adopted another Venice trick: the control of society not just from The Crown, but from the criminal underworld too. In this manner, people turning away from your authority turned back towards it without knowing, and also you got to squeeze more wealth out of citizens crushed between the vice.

The Men Of The New Covenant is a fascinating subject - the root of rebranding to British lit. "New Covenant Signatory" - but is mired in speculation and bullshit due to their initial secrecy. Their post-1700 stuff is better documented though. They are responsible for adopting and re-branding The Great Work Of Ages i.e. a blue skies inter-generational plot to conquer the planet Culturally, Militarily and Economically, symbolized by Isis, Ra, El, in direct opposition to The Church's foundation in Isis, Osiris, Thoth. The History of the Modern World can be seen as a tit for tat game of one-upmanship between The City Of London and Vatican City.

True, but Muslim governments did not intervene in trade routes to the degree that Europeans did. Europeans discovered that a government enforcing and growing trade routes would create immense wealth. Trade routes were very common, but governing bodies promoting their growth to the degree that the west did was not. Europeans had an Age of Exploration, while no other region had nearly as much interest in it. (China did have a few voyages, but more out of political interest than trade.)

Europe was a constant bloodbath before Christianity. Look into the military campaigns of the Greeks and Romans pre-Constantine.

Christian and Heathen kingdoms battled for power for centuries, as the Middle Eastern religion slowly moved north. Naturally, as a colonizing and centralized power, it was able to achieve some stability.

It amazes me how willing Christians are to shit on their own ancestors, traditions and history, just so they can uphold the holy Jew as the white man's saviour.

Just as the heathen kingdoms had battled for power centuries before. You're not making the point you originally set out to make.

>muh ancestors
Your ancestors probably converted to Christianity along with the rest of Europe. It's such a gay argument.
