Don't concede the battle before you start

When we get into discussions or debates about say, western liberalism or democracy, or capitalism or what have you, we start from a base of accepting that any of these things are truly western values and that they truly exist in the West. And then we argue against them like they're even real when they're not real. So in fact we've already, conceded crucial ground. We've already given them actually the victory that they won, which is just to affirm that the West is liberal, that the West is democratic and so on. And that capitalism is, what they say it is.

They want us to affirm that they are what they say they are. And that means that we've already lost the battle because the whole battle is nothing but a battle between truth and falsehood. So when we affirm, that their false claims are factual, well, we've already lost. We've already let the truth down, and we've not performed our duty.
