Why do most European countries spread and show off to the world how democratic, secular , against racism, cultured , gender equality they are?

Yes, we probably do, though many people push against being reminded of it. I guess it's a case of, "Yeah, we did bad things in the past, but look at how much we've improved."

Can’t we keep two different ideas in our minds at the same time? Trying to spread democracy doesn’t negate having done horrible things in the past. It’s quite the opposite.

The way we are now is better than we were in the past, and better than many other places now. So why should we not want to celebrate the achievement?

I don't think anyone is trying to hide or wash the past, what would be the point? Also the past is the past, it cannot be changed.

Trying to be Politically correct while being morally disastrous is in their genes.

Having said that there are good people among them too.

They're cucked to cultural Marxism. Some are waking up though.

Maybe they want to lie about their closed borders and arming of war zones - they include money!
